Enemies at First Touch, Lovers Before First Sight: Sometimes the Heart Sees What the Eyes Cannot
Ten years after Addicted, the same director is back with a new Chinese BL, Till I See You, and that alone was enough to get my attention.
The concept immediately reminded me of the Thai BL Last Twilight starring JimmySea, with a caretaker looking after a visually impaired lead and a relationship that starts with constant clashing before slowly developing into something more. I am always a fan of enemies to lovers, especially when two characters have completely opposite personalities, and that is exactly what we get here.
This is my third time watching Wang Ruichen after The Summer You Kissed Me and Awakening the Steppe, and once again, he is absolutely stunning. His muscular physique is definitely one of his biggest visual strengths. However, I have to say I am not a fan of the blonde orange hair in this series. I definitely preferred his darker hair in his previous dramas.
What makes me laugh is that his character almost feels like he has followed him across all three series. This time he plays Song Yi, a fun, confident and wealthy young man who has run away from home and needs somewhere to stay. Just like his previous characters, he is naturally flirty, confident and always seems ready to make the first move. Wang Ruichen really knows how to play this type of character, and honestly, I am not complaining.
Opposite him is Sun Xiaoxiao as Xu Feiyu, who is visually impaired and recovering from eye surgery. Feiyu could not be more different from Song Yi. He is cold, distant and extremely guarded. He hates having strangers around him and especially dislikes being touched, so you can already imagine what happens when someone as playful and persistent as Song Yi suddenly enters his life.
The story itself is quite simple. Song Yi needs somewhere to stay and ends up becoming Feiyu's temporary caretaker. Their personalities immediately clash, resulting in nonstop bickering and frustration between them. But underneath all that fighting, Feiyu slowly begins lowering the walls he has built around himself and developing feelings for the person he initially could not stand.
I think Song Yi is going to be the light that slowly breaks through Feiyu's darkness.
Feiyu clearly carries emotional scars beyond his visual impairment, and there seems to be much more behind his cold personality than we currently know. Song Yi is exactly the type of person who could slowly warm his heart. He is patient, caring and funny. He cooks for him, looks after him and even takes care of an injured wombat. How can your heart not slowly melt for this man?
What makes the romance more interesting is that Feiyu cannot truly see Song Yi yet. Their connection begins through personality, touch, conversations and everyday moments rather than physical appearance. By the time Feiyu starts letting Song Yi into his heart, their relationship has already become something much deeper.
But this is clearly not going to remain a simple caretaker romance.
Song Yi originally travelled to Northern China because he wanted answers about his father's past, and there appears to be a hidden truth connecting everything together. Just as Feiyu is getting closer to regaining his sight, that secret threatens their relationship and leads to Song Yi suddenly disappearing from his life. The story will then take us five years into the future, where fate brings them together again and forces them to confront the love they never truly left behind.
So while the beginning gives us a fun enemies to lovers dynamic filled with bickering, flirting and caregiving, there is clearly heartbreak waiting for us later.
So far, I really like the chemistry between the two lead. Their contrasting personalities work perfectly together. Song Yi brings warmth and chaos while Feiyu brings coldness and resistance, which makes every little moment where Feiyu lowers his guard feel more meaningful.
The acting is strong, the chemistry is already there, the plot is easy to follow and the OST is beautiful. Sometimes you do not need an overly complicated story when the characters and chemistry can carry the romance.
You can watch Till I See You on GagaOOLala, with one episode released each week until November 19.
My only complaint is that waiting an entire week for a 20 minute episode should be illegal. Give me at least two episodes a week!
If you enjoy enemies to lovers, nonstop bickering, opposite personalities, caretaker romance, emotional healing, great chemistry, strong acting and a story that looks like it is going to become much more painful later, definitely add Till I See You to your watchlist.
8.5/10 so far. A simple beginning with great chemistry, but I have a feeling this one is going to hurt later.
