When nostalgia and tear-jerking drama combines= MASTERPIECE

I love the nostalgia that this series was giving. I was really into it. Y'all know that Director Mean & Benz just did that. I saw glimpse of Remember Me The Series having the same production as this one. I love the cinematography it has something nostalgic filter into it kinda similar to I Told Sunset About You. I love every aspect of the series, it's not too rushed or fast in terms of pacing. It really built up a lot better than most series I've watched before this. The serenade in the phone booth and riding with your bff/crush in his bike is just chef's kiss.
Now I'm diving to the "shedding tears" territory. When Phobia left Nut and came back years later I was honestly confused why he's not the same as he was. His character toned down. I felt that hard in my core when Nut ignored him and upon learning that Phobia has cancer (or something), he rushed to the station. I was really sobbing about that. I was bathing in my tears the whole sequence of why Phobia just left Nut. It got sadder when Phob's parent(s) passed away within those years he left Nut. The point where Phob was due for consultation with his doctor. Nut urged Phob to live even if it meant that his arm would be amputated for the rest of his life.
I know the ending upsets or disappoints some people but I'd rather have that or risk Phob leaving Nut forever.

I was really engrossed to this. I know these kind of nostalgic series would shed tears and it did more actually. I saw the efforts of the actors portraying their roles really well. It really paid off. I think this was underrated and unpopular but hey sometimes underrated series turns out to be greater than the ones were all familiar to. I'm not saying that those popular BLs out there are bad, it's just lacking or having few depths in them but for this one, it is emotionally 6 ft. If you think you're expecting fluffiness and lovey-dovey stuff here, you thought wrong. This was one of the greatest BL series deserves praise because it was masterpiece ??
