Mou Mou (2024)

A happiness I haven't felt for a long time

I can't find the correct words to describe how incredible this masterpiece is but I'll try to summarize the main points that have caught my attention.

First: we do have to emphasize the chemistry between the main leads. I mean, how can they expresso much feelings and love within only 8 episodes that don't contain, almost, any kiss or touch? The actors themselves have done a wonderful job and the script, that derives from a perfect novel, makes it not only possible but also dense! The gazes, the words, everything just suits perfectly good!

Second: Chinese culture knows a lot how to make people cry with the simplest things. Although the topics mentioned here aren't simple in any way, there's so much emotion in every scene. The cenarios, the storyline, the background of each character, their personalities, everything makes you feel how dense their messages are. We can learn a lot of things through each reflection, which (beware) is my dearest element of this show.

This review is really condensed but I hope you see this art yourself. Really, you won't regret it!

Unoriginal, Don't Even Want To Continue

Okay, this BL has a lot of good reviews, high ratings, in my book that's a big red flag, most high rating shows aren't up to my liking nor standards but regardless I watched the first episode, let me just say it didn't hook me, it's your typical stepbrother story, same old same old with Taiwanese BL's. I mean I got nothing against that but like make it more unique and interesting? It's always the same, enemies to lovers type of thing, a dead parent or divorced parents. I've watched too many BL's like this and most of them are not that good cause they're so repetitive. I did some research too and the story seems to be dull and like a slowburn, nothing wrong with that again but at least give us something later on. But no... apparently it's one of those BL's that end and literally make us crave more while a second season is yet to be confirmed. So, I'm gonna save my time on this one and rate it a 7. I could rate it lower but I know theres quality and potential there. I saw some of the dropped reviews and they looked like they were AI generated, they all had a 10 star even tho it was dropped. Maybe it was a mistake, but regardless I'm trying to be honest, and if anyone is looking for a similar opinion like me after watching the first episode then it'll be easier to find. If this show gets a second season and I find out about it and it's also better, maybe I'll give this show a try. But right now. No, thank you.
