One of GMMTV's actual magnum opuses in terms of BL selections.

While this may sound exaggerated and emotionally-charged, that's almost what most reviews always are either way even if some people say they're being objective. Either way, this show was truly something spectacular, to the point where I can say that this is one of the best BLs GMMTV has ever made, considering their abysmal and mediocre plethora.

Acting-wise, both Jimmy and Sea did incredibly well, and it felt like the long pauses that GMMTV, as per usual, loves to do to jarringly fill out their usual 43-minute shows' timeslot did not feel like filler.

Story-wise, the storyline was good all around. However, I do share the same sentiment as other people saying that Episode 11 was genuinely unnecessary. But to say that everything past Episode 9 was not needed is where I would disagree. Episode 9 was pivotal for Day since while Mee's story ended in the book, it also marked the rebirth of Day in which he now, temporarily, has to live his life as a blind man. Going back, I did feel that Episode 11 was completely unnecessary and was inserted for the sake of having conflict; however, the conflict still makes sense considering the amount of times Day has said that he does not want to be seen differently. However, I do have to double down and say that it irked me when he dismissed Mhok's reason for staying, started being bratty out of nowhere (which was a little bit justified), and how I wish he could have properly apologized to Mhok in Episode 12. But hey, you don't always get what you want. However, I wouldn't say these episodes were what made the show bad. That's like saying HIStory 3 was terrible after the writers killed off Yu Xi Gu.

Music & Score-wise, it was good. I don't usually pay attention to background music especially when I'm enveloped with the actors themselves. BUT, the scene with both of them singing in the car in Episode 4 will always have a special place in my heart, and will always be something I would rewatch.

Rewatch value-wise, lol, I've rewatched this so many times and I haven't gotten sick of it. Like, it's just THAT good.
