I am going to start by saying the tags for this show doesn't do it justice. When I read the tag Obsession I thought it would be minor but nope every character in this show was obsessed with someone. Don't get me wrong I'm not ragging on it because I thought that made the show more endearing.
Now as for who played all the characters I thought they were sweet and all had good chemistry together. You could tell they all worked well together.
Honestly, I couldn't help but cry at some parts but found myself rewatching the parts all over again to cry some more. I understand that this was an adaption for a BL novel and honestly you could tell that Zhao and Shen loved one another, especially in the ending. One of them even asked to die I won't say who to be with the other. Some of the characters were flakes at how they choose to be but I figured there have to be some bumps in the road for the main characters.
I love the dedication between all the characters along with the loyalty to stand by each other even when the feelings weren't the same. The brotherhood and sisterhood in this show made you want a bond like that. Honestly made me feel like no one in the world would wait 10,000 years for someone to come around again so that part was a little unrealistic unless you really loved the person you were waiting for.
AS for the ending, I was a bit confused at first but then I rewatched it and noticed what they did.
I plan on reading the novel now.
I highly recommend this drama. You don't need romance to be in the title for you to know it's there.
Also, the music came in at the best parts during the scenes. They picked the best songs. I particularly found myself listening to the intro every time I started a new episode which was honestly rare for me with any show.
JUST saying this is, in my opinion, a tragedy.

Honestly speaking I was looking for BL like most of us were but as I watched the show not only did I not get that but I got two amazing actors showing how much the characters cared and loved one another even though it was never said out loud. The actors had amazing chemistry with each other and they seemed perfectly comfortable with each . Most of their moments together were breathtaking. I love how he was protective over him and also didn't let his feelings be known to his sister or Xia. The fighting scenes were my favorite to watch because they were so impactful and wonderful. One scene still gets me even to this day but I don't want to say it because I'd rather you watch it and know just how wonderful this series is.
I also loved how long the series was. I would say the only problem I had with it but I would still watch it again anyway was that it ended so abruptly. I wanted some finalization if you know what I mean. No matter what though I would rewatch this show again and again.

What a beautiful story.

Now I will start by talking about the music and go from there. The music in this series was beautiful and fit the situation perfectly.

One thing I will say that I disliked about this is in the end that the brothers were different and when I say different I mean. That not many people noticed that Black wasn't himself. I also didn't like that no one knew what happened to Black. It was like it didn't matter.
Black handled stuff with an iron fist while White was gentle and wanted to get along and make sure no one got hurt. While it shows that Black will leave people behind if necessary.
I also didn't like that Gram got with Black's ex-girlfriend but not because of the story but because it felt kind of out of nowhere and forced if you ask me.
I was sad about the situation with Todd but then he did get what he deserved in the end.
Now I will get onto how I felt about Sean. I feel many emotions about Sean I feel sympathy, pity, irritation, and happiness in the end because he evoked so many emotions out of me. I think what Sean needed most was to know someone was there in it with him. That's what White gave him. Sean was also an amazing leader when needed but also had the majority of the dumb ideas.

Now I want to get to my main point which is about White and Black I swear you wouldn't even think they were acted by the same person considering how well they differentiate from each other. Black is cold, dismissive, and unattached a lot of the time. You can tell he cares but doesn't know how to show it. He pushed people away and keeps them at arm's distance because you can tell he doesn't want to be hurt. He is also a lot more aggressive than his brother. He doesn't value many in his life but his brother means the world to him.
As for White, he is gentle even the way he talks is softer. The way he approaches people makes them put their guard down around him. He is very loyal and caring. He often is the one getting hurt by his brother because of their link to each other but he always wants to be with his brother. If you ask me he sacrificed everything in his own life to be with his brother. He is not very sneaky compared to his brother which is funny. He also likes to stir up Sean which is funny.
But these two are like night and day. You could tell the two apart just simply by staring at the way they stand all the way to their personalities and how they treat people.

OVERALL: I would watch the show again simply because I love the characters and how they all treat each other.
