Freaking Masterpiece!!

I finally caved in & watched it.
WOW! And that is short for Wow Oh Wow!!
This drama is absolutely beautiful. Everything about it is just perfection. The acting, the directing, the cinematography. I usually write reviews only for shows that I consider the cream of the crop & this my dear fellows is one of those. I watched it in one sitting.
One can tell that a lot of thought & work went into the show & it paid off well! Let me tell you I have watched my fair share of BL shows (well, maybe so much more than my fair share) & this one is different from the rest & it's a good kind of 'different'
The show does not rely on the typical tropes that we so often see on BLs. Just amazing storyline, beautiful characters & top notch acting. The love between Teh & Oh was so wonderfully portrayed, beautiful pure unadulterated love! It was one hell of a rollercoaster ride - heartbreakingly beautiful.
The acting is so unbelievably awesome! The crying scenes are so realistic (snots & all) & they are some of my favourite scenes in the show. And I've found a new weakness & that is Oh's crying face. I can't.. Everytime I see that face, I just wanna give him the biggest hug ever. These dudes can act!! They deserve awards for those portrayals man, seriously!!
Every character is so beautifully written, casted & portrayed.
It will be difficult to find another series with such great storyline, amazing chemistry, beautiful cinematography & out of the world acting. Usually you get one or the other with BLs but this one has it all. Maybe we might get to see the same level of perfection with its season 2. I can't wait to see how that plays out. Excited to see Oh & Teh's relationship in the 'boyfriends' stage. They have been through hell to get there & to see them bask in that stage would be so wonderfully exciting.
I cannot wait to see season 2 now!

I absolutely love this drama. I can't believe I put off watching this for so long. I had seen Off in some other dramas where he potrayed straight roles & I just couldn't picture him in this role but boy, was I wrong.

I like how this drama is like a longer version of the movie Flipped, but it's done in an exceptionally beautiful way( and they also referenced the movie a couple of times, sort of like a tribute). Seeing as how I love Flipped so much, I can say this drama did not disappoint. In fact, it took many steps further. The acting is superb, the chemistry on point, the music is great & set in the backdrop of a breathtaking cinematography. What's not to like.

Would definitely rewatch this a 100 times.

And also now I can understand the whole hype about the OffGun ship.

Nothing can compare to it!!

Hands down, the best series I have ever watched. I had just completed watching it & went right back for a second time, because that's how good it was & I couldn't get over it. The show has an air of beautiful melancholy about it that you can't help but be drawn to it. I cried, I laughed, I felt sad, I felt happy throughout the show.

There's an underlying theme of love, be it the love of a friend, familial love or the love of someone special. This love is very well portrayed by the relationships that the ML Wei Ying has with the different characters in the show.

The two ML Wei Ying & Lan Zhan have the most beautiful relationship ever. The love & respect they have for one another is unparalleled & just out of this world. Although they may not have said the words, you can't miss the love portrayed through their actions, decisions & those longing stares.

After watching the show, I wanted to be transported to their world. I dreamt of exploring the back hills of the peaceful Cloud Recesses & going boating on the lakes of the Lotus Pier.(*wink)

The acting is the finest I have ever seen. They all portrayed their roles stunningly. Of course I'm going to be biased & say that my favourites are the two main leads.

All in all, this show is now the standard I hold every other show to.
I would go back & watch it a thousand times more.
