From the very beginning, I was awed by the quality of the production. I couldn't help but compare to the trashy BL shows I have watched just to satisfy my guilty pleasure. This was clearly a show that tells us that the choices we make will determine our future...and our happiness. This show got me thinking of all the choices I have made so far that got me to where I am now...and evaluate if I am making the right choices at the moment. Sometimes, we are so caught up in becoming the kind of person the society wants us to be...that our parents, friends, and everyone around us expects us to be that we forget what living truly feels like. I was deeply moved by the message the show tried to convey. And I am somehow empowered by it.

As for other things, like Akira and Yuki, I have some grievances. Yuki was a darling. He was never afraid of his feelings and communicated what he wanted and that's a strong character. He loved Akira to his bones, so when Akira betrayed his love, I was heartbroken and angry for him. My thoughts while Akira was in the park with his monologue(at this point, I really cannot hold back my sobs that turned into wailing): It's so hard to hate you Akira, you pitiful soul. But when I think about Yuki, I felt so betrayed and heartbroken. Just because you lost to your insecurity, you sacrificed the person you loved and who loved you sincerely. That was just unfair and unforgivable.

We got a happy ending, but that wasn't the happy ending I was hoping for. I would have wished for Yuki to have found a person who can sincerely love and cherish him...openly. He deserve that kind of man. But I guess the show also wants to reiterate the importance of fate and second chances. It was because of fate that they first met, and fate that brought them back together.

Overall, it was a great mini series. I love the life lessons. And the OST. And the chemistry between our leads. Although their emotional scenes falls short of standard, the rest made up for it.
