Bittersweet and lovely

Okay, so this drama was excellent in my humble opinion.

The story is slow and realistic, not like other dramas at all. It's about these two characters that meet once and quite immidiately find chemistry. Ito Akira is handsome and cool but not a bad guy at all, just sort of diligent and polite. Nishi Yuuki is very young-minded and brutally honest with himself, which is all but new to Ito.

Ito's main issue is communication, both to others and to himself. He does what his parents think is best; trying to fit in with society and be as normal as possible, which eventually leads to some pain for both main characters. It's his personal intrigue to learn to stand up for himself. As for Nishi, he is quite shy and sensitive when it comes down to it, but he knows what he wants and doesn't let other people tell him what he is. He is himself.

Throughout the series, the characters go through different dilemmas that any couple would. It's more about life in general than specifically BL.

There is a sweet cameo in the last episode, too, from another BL drama, so that was a blessing to see.

Like I said, the story is not intense but realistic so if you like slice of life, this is definitely for you.

Such a serious and sweet drama, I've rewatched it a couple of times just because it makes you feel at ease and warm inside. :-)

Kill me

Oh my god. This drama tore me up so terribly.

Firstly, it was kind of stupid and boring and the intrigues were like... what? Pointless? But the deeper into the story we got, the more serious the plot became and by the end off it I was ready to jump off a cliff, swear to God, man.

The main characters are quite perfect in chemistry. The whole enemies-to-friends-to-lovers is my jam. I love how Xiang Hao Ting is just all over the place, intense and horny and seriously your typical teenage dude. xD And then Yu Xi Gu is his polar opposite; studious and serious and weighed down by his circumstances. Talk about these two learning from each other.

About the other couple, I'm not convinced at all. It was fine but mostly I found them annoying. xD I'm only here for the main couple honestly.

But yeah, watch this if you feel masochistic and self-destructive. :-) It's the sweetest but also the most fucking painful.
