This show is criminally underrated! I myself did not have any plans to watch it but decided to give it a try due to lack of options and boy was I glad!! It's a beautiful story of unconditional love which is told through means of memories and flashbacks!! Every single scene of the show is heart touching!! I was an emotional mess through most of the runtime of the series starting from episode 1. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying it's sad! But it has got that beautiful melancholic tone that just tugs at your heartstrings even in the simplest scenes and that feeling is very hard to describe in words. It will definitely make you nostalgic if not anything else!!
The early 2000s setting is spot on and I actually believed that I'm watching a story from that time. The writing is pretty good. I won't say its something original but not once did it feel that I have watched it somewhere. The direction by Mean is pretty commendable and is able to express the desired intention most of the time !!
However, the real highlight of this series are its 2 leads. For being rookie actors, both of them have done a phenomenal job. Their chemistry is really good and makes their love all the more believable. Especially Title as Nut carries most of the heavy-load and is able to pull off even the most demanding scenes exceptionally well. I can see another Fluke in him.
The trope used by the director is also pretty unique. The second half has a lot of flashback scenes but the perspective is changed or extra things are added to make the viewers understand what actually happened in those scenes which make them even more heart wrenching.
Be warned though. if you are going in expecting a lovey-dovey typical BL with lots of fluffy moments between the leads, this is not your cup of tea. However, if you want to watch a moving love story which actually shows the strength of true love and how it perseveres and does not change with circumstances then dive right in but prepare a box of tissues!!! You will need it !!
