Connecting to You Is Colorful, Cute and So Much Fun, From Enemies to Lovers One Thread at a Time
It’s August and we have only had two Taiwanese BLs this year, so I was SO excited for our third one! After watching the trailer, I already had high expectations, and after four episodes, each around 25 to 30 minutes, I can confidently say Connecting to You has absolutely lived up to the hype. You can watch it on Viki or iQIYI.
As the title suggests, Connecting to You is all about connections. Chia Kai has a unique ability to see invisible threads linking people together, with each colour carrying a different meaning.
🔴🧵 Red represents love
🟢🧵 Green represents family
🟡🧵 Yellow represents friendship
🔵🧵 Blue represents hostility
🩶🧵 Silver Grey represents a connection that has not yet been defined
There are more colours with their own meanings, and what makes this ability even more interesting is that it is not only about the colour. The thickness and solidity of each thread also show how strong the connection is.
I absolutely love this concept. We have seen countless dramas where characters can see ghosts or have supernatural abilities, so seeing someone who can literally see the invisible connections between people feels so refreshing and clever. It gives the story a unique way of exploring relationships.
And the irony is even better. Chia Kai can see everyone else’s colourful threads, yet he cannot see a thread connecting himself to anyone. He has become used to being alone and having no connection of his own.
That changes when he meets police officer Tae Wei.
I am LOVING the enemies to lovers setup between these two. Their first encounter had me laughing so hard. Who on earth takes off all their clothes to save a girl who is about to jump from a rooftop? Chia Kai absolutely deserved to get handcuffed by Tae Wei because that whole situation made him look like a complete pervert! The comedy, awkwardness, and secondhand embarrassment were hilarious.
Then, after several chaotic encounters and plenty of bickering, an unexpected accident brings them even closer. When they accidentally knock their heads together, something incredible happens. For the first time in his life, Chia Kai sees a thread connecting him to another person.
And of all people, it is Tae Wei. 😂
A silver grey thread appears between them, connecting Chia Kai to the one person he least expected. 🩶🧵 I love how this supernatural ability is not just there for decoration. It actually becomes part of the romance and gives us a visual way to watch their relationship change.
I also really enjoy the supporting characters, especially Chia Kai’s friend Chaonan. He brings so much fun energy to the series and adds another layer of comedy to an already entertaining cast.
Even the police station scenes are enjoyable. This is not a dark police drama filled with violent crimes and murder. Instead, the police setting is used in a much lighter and more playful way, which fits the overall tone of the series perfectly.
One of my favourite things about Connecting to You is the atmosphere. The comedy works without becoming painfully cringe, the music is fun, the visuals are colourful, and the entire series has such a bright and cheerful feeling. It is genuinely the kind of BL that can instantly lift your mood.
The production and visuals are also really good. I especially love the anime style opening. It gives the series an extra bit of personality and immediately tells you that this is going to be something different.
And of course, Chia Kai and Tae Wei are both ridiculously cute and adorable. Their chemistry is already so much fun to watch, and I cannot wait to see how their relationship develops.
We are only four episodes in, which means we are roughly one third into the series, and I am already loving it so much. It has the perfect balance of comedy, romance, fantasy, fun music, colourful visuals, and a genuinely unique story concept.
Most importantly, I cannot wait to see what happens to that thread between Chia Kai and Tae Wei. Will their connection continue to change? Will it become stronger? And when will they finally realise what is happening between them? ❤️
Connecting to You is definitely going on my recommendation list. If you enjoy cute romance, comedy, fantasy, enemies to lovers, and BLs with a unique concept, please give this one a try. You won’t regret it!
