Just a fling...or not?
This was a nice drama, the story was good and it was well produced. The visuals were stunning! The music was just background music, and was good.The mains acted well and had good chemistry, the kisses were good enough.
It's just a short watch, so, nice to watch if you don't have much time.

Pretty Faces, Paper-Thin Plot
The Summer You Kissed Me is a short Chinese BL miniseries with five episodes, each running only about ten to fifteen minutes — which is, frankly, far too short.That brevity creates its own problem. When you're waiting an entire week for a new episode, but the episode itself is over almost as soon as it begins, anticipation builds much faster than the story ever can. The possibility of disappointment is practically built into the format.
Honestly, the whole thing feels a bit like a cheap romance novel. You know exactly what you're getting.
Both leads are undeniably attractive, and the series knows it. But if you're looking for a complex plot or deep character development, there's really not much here. The story is simple, predictable, and more interested in creating a mood than telling a particularly memorable narrative.
Then again, sometimes that's exactly what you want. A world to disappear into for an hour or so. Nothing complicated, nothing emotionally exhausting, just enough romance to keep you invested before it's all over again.
And if I'm being completely honest about my own weakness: I usually can't stand the whole “I'm not into men, but you're the exception” trope.
