Story: Definitely interesting story idea. I only wished they spent more with the main character comparing his present to the past he remembered. Or if they showed more interaction in school between the two leads instead of just the parts after the accident.

Acting/Cast: I have no problems with the acting and the cast. In fact these two might be the best pair out of the entire HIStory series compilation. I have a feeling it also has to do with the story which they acted out. It definitely felt a lot smoother watching these two actors than the other two pairs.

Music: n/a

Rewatch value: There were enough kiss scenes and a lot of "here's my love!" sort of feelings throughout the series, so for me I gave it a higher re-watch value than usual. I'm usually not one to like re-watching many series.

While there were some parts in the plot scenes that were entirely undesirable, it was also a very serious drama. In comparison to most BL movies/series that comes out with too many exterior forces (such as ghost stories, deaths, lies, secrets, etc.) this was fairly straight-forward but heavy hearted.

I would almost classify this as more tragedy and love-lorn than romance. It's about a battle in society and inner self and desires, versus trying to make a connecting romance with the other party. The relationship itself was already established without a true role, which was a part of the movie.

There are two different endings to this movie as well. So it'll do well for future viewers to consider whether they want a good ending or a bad ending, or to try and watch both. I was satisfied and nearly teared up watching both endings.

The reason the re-watch value is a 5 for myself, is because I'm not someone who likes heavy stories. I try to avoid anything that isn't mellow or sweet. Since it was a good balance of torn love and mellow I managed to watch it. The filming itself seemed to be really good. For others I would assume the re-watch value is a lot higher. For myself I wouldn't re-watch it as it would be too irritating with such hard drama.

I like the sweet and mellow story line. It's a lot more about discovering and achieving a mutual love/romance/relationship. The other main characters were also very well written. Personally, I would want a best friend/wingman like Ming. What bothers me is the slow burning/possible love triangle that keeps getting hinted at but never actually occurs. If there's a season 2 I find that a love triangle is what will bother me most in the future.

The re-watch value for this series is set really high, which is rare for me. Since it's such an easy story/romance to fall in love with and to watch it makes it easier to re-watch again. The story allows viewers to be invested in the romance but not drastically or emotionally invested in heartbreaking drama. It's something that I appreciate the most when it comes to rating for re-watch value.

Story: step-brother trope, simple and easy to fall into. Honestly, I disliked the use of the female best friend who creates waves. It was obvious from the beginning that this was her entire role in the series which was irritating. Very little character development, but a lot of slow budding romance. A bit of both worlds (one is irritating to see and the other is what I really want to see).

Acting/Cast: While I like the cast, I didn't like the acting. I felt like it was slightly sub-par. Perhaps it had something to do with the lines and the story itself instead of the actors. The two male actors felt closed off to me for some scenes and that was probably the biggest aspect that bothered me.
