Seriously, this is the first HIStory I would give a perfect score. I won't give anything away and I can't speak much about it. This is a story I was angry it was only 17 minutes per episode and there was only 4 episodes; but if it was longer it would taint and drag the story into a direction it didn't have to go.

There were other characters---and we didn't need their backstories. There is a time travel/time skip/waking dream sort of feel to the drama that could turn this into a Korean hot mess. <---I've had enough of those to last me a life time.

Much in the Chinese style [this is Taiwanese] they kept dry, like fine whiskey. This was simply focusing on the lead characters and that was all. No variables, none of the other mix-ups. We will bring up a few shifts just to make you think---but the focus is on the leads...and how.

Jesus...the leads.

Ren Teddy as [Shao Yi Chen] is new to the scene but damn can he hold a scene. That man can deliver. Deliver a scene like no other. I wonder if he's gay in real life. I only ask because I want to marry him. Those lips...the way he kisses...wow. Just wow. Shao Yi Chen is in love with He Bernard [Jiang Jin Teng]. It is apparent from the get go. It is that weird unhealthy love.

Early on, SYC is clearly the one obsessed to the point he is moving away from it and breaking those bonds that time him to JJT --however he's bound to him and vice versa ---their bound as you would see in an ouroboros.

The love scenes are so intense and powerful...wow. Just wow. Very arousing. It's just a good romantic story; it resonates. It's a great BL story, the make out scenes are wow, it is something to watch.
