One of the Best Police/Crime BL

I vividly remember when this series first aired in November 2013; it quickly became one of the shows I eagerly anticipated every Sunday. It was one of the few shows I looked forward to each week. The cast was not only talented but also incredibly attractive, and I particularly appreciated the mix of police work and crime scene investigations—this was the perfect drama for me.

The cinematography, graphics, color, and CGI were all flawless. I loved how the characters Tharn and Phaya’s relationship developed, particularly their childhood connection. The gradual buildup of their chemistry leading to their love was truly remarkable. The intimate scenes were realistic and impactful, among the best I’ve seen in such dramas.

Overall, everything about the show was flawless—from the compelling story and excellent acting to the well-executed intimate scenes, the touch of comedy, and the satisfying ending. I’ve grown tired of the typical high school or university-themed BLs, so I was thrilled to see a series focusing on police and crime. I sincerely hope that more BL dramas like this will be made in the future. I loved it so much, and I would rate it 10/10.

Out of 350+ BLs During the Past Decade, This is the Best BL I Have Ever Watched in My Life!!!

I have said this many times already but this is truly the best BL I have ever watched in my life. I have seen more than 350+ BLs across 7 countries in the past 10 years, and nothing even comes close.

The plot is gripping from start to finish, the acting is phenomenal, and the chemistry between the leads is unmatched. Every episode kept me hooked and every emotion hit deep. This is not just BL of the year, it is BL of the decade. Every 40-minute episode feels like just 5 minutes, leaving me craving more and counting the days until the next release.

China 🇨🇳 continues to dominate in cinematography, acting, storytelling, and chemistry. No one does historical costumes, horse riding, martial arts, or emotional intensity like them. Even The Untamed, despite heavy censorship, pulled in billions of views. Imagine the impact of a high-quality, uncensored Chinese BL with the same production scale. The talent is already there, just waiting for the freedom to shine. Hopefully, one day the BL ban will lift so we can see the full potential of these brilliant creators.

Revenged Love is written by Chai Ji Dan, the genius behind Addicted. I have waited almost a decade for something like this since Addicted was banned after episode 15. Watching Revenged Love feels like coming home, with heartfelt gestures, bike rides in the countryside, tender kisses, and fierce love that demands loyalty. The cornfield kiss was pure magic, soft yet intense, a silent promise of love. “Call me husband” was delivered with such deep, possessive emotion that it melted me instantly.

Episode 13 gave us so many iconic moments. Guo Cheng Yu caring for a tipsy Jiang Xiao Shuai was playful yet intimate, while Wu Suo Wei and Chi Cheng had me laughing in the shopping scene and breathless during the underwater kiss. That scene was a visual poem — slow, tender, and filled with longing. Lines like “I am a quick learner. Won’t take long before I become the perfect boyfriend” are the kind that stay with you long after the credits roll.

This drama does not just tell a story, it becomes part of your life. Every Monday and Tuesday, I wait like clockwork, heart pounding, ready to be swept away. When it ends, I know a part of me will go with it. If they ever release a photobook, DVD, or hold a fan meeting, I would buy everything and fly from Australia to China just to be there. That is how much this series has captured my heart.

The breakup scene was devastating — two souls tearing each other apart while still loving each other deeply. Wu Suo Wei’s sacrifice, selling his home, kneeling to his rival, and working endlessly to save Chi Cheng, is the purest form of love. His mother’s decision to hide her illness added another layer of heartbreak, leaving Chi Cheng caught between honesty and her final wish. I can only hope for a moment of reconciliation where she accepts their love before it is too late.

Episode 22 delivered playful chaos and emotional sweetness. The bathtub scene was sizzling, reminding us of the passionate bond between them. The sight of Chi Cheng, Wu Suo Wei, and the nephew together felt like a glimpse into the family they could be. If they cannot have children naturally, adoption or surrogacy would be the perfect way forward.

I’ve poured my heart into writing one for every episode, this is one example for expisode 23, obviously I cannot fit every episode's poem here.

Episode 23 shall be called ‘A Love That Sacrifices Everything.’

They said the last few episodes had too much comedy.
But this episode, the comedy is gone.
Episode 23 is sorrow in its purest form. 💔

Yue Yue drifted from Wu Suo Wei,
to Wang Zhen Long,
to Chi Cheng,
changing lovers like changing clothes,
always chasing the richer man.
And when Wu Suo Wei finally rose from poverty,
she dared to return.
When he refused her,
she turned to his mother.
If this is not the definition of a gold digger,
what is?

But Wu Suo Wei,
my heart aches for him.
Born poor,
counting every cent,
saving every coin.
Yet for Chi Cheng,
he sold everything,
even his home,
losing two million yuan,
just to save him.

Back on the streets,
he worked from dawn till night,
moulding sugar figurines,
hands raw and aching.
He knelt before Wang Zhen Long,
pride shattered,
for the man he loves.
And still, Wang Zhen Long came back to mock him.

Yet he stood tall.
He kept going.
If this is not love,
then love does not exist.

Even Chi Cheng’s rich parents stayed silent.
Was it because their son loves a man?
Would they rather leave their fortune to a grandson
than save their own child?

But there was one bright light,
Dr. Jiang Xiao Shuai,
offering help without hesitation.
A friend like that is rare.

And then the jail scene.
Two men, tears falling like rain.
Wu Suo Wei’s voice steady,
his love unshaken.
Chi Cheng saying, “I hate you,”
when what he really meant was,
I hate that you gave up everything for me.
I hate that you sold your family for my freedom.

Chi Cheng, crying quietly over a simple meal in prison,
is an image I’ll never forget.

Sometimes silence carries the loudest pain.
When Chi Cheng said, “I hate you,”
he was not pushing Wei Wei away
but drowning in the weight of sacrifice.

I hate that you gave up everything for me.
I hate that you sold your family for my freedom.
I hate that your happiness came at the cost of mine.

It is not hatred for Wei Wei
but hatred for a cruel fate they cannot escape.

If he truly meant those words,
he would not have sat there crying,
eating quietly, his tears falling unseen,
his walls crumbling, his heart bare.

His silence and broken guard
speak louder than any words ever could.

Tonight it all ends.
One last episode.
One final goodbye.

“I don’t need luxury,
I just need you.”

If this is not love,
tell me what is. 💔


Revenged Love has given me everything — romance, heartbreak, laughter, and moments so powerful they will stay with me forever. It is more than just perfect, it is a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece that I will treasure for years to come. ❤️🔥

A Perfectly Executed Finale – Brutal, Emotional, Unforgettable

I just binged all of Squid Game Season 3 in one sitting—and what a ride! This final chapter was everything I hoped for and more. The story picks up right where Season 2 left off, plunging us straight into the chaos of a failed rebellion, betrayal, and loss. The pacing is relentless, the tension never lets up, and yet it still finds space to explore the emotional aftermath of everything Gi Hun has endured.

Lee Jung Jae delivers his most powerful performance yet. Watching Gi Hun hit rock bottom, only to be forced back into the nightmare of the Games, was heartbreaking and raw. Each game this season felt even more brutal—not just physically, but psychologically. The moral dilemmas hit hard, and the consequences of each choice left me shaken.

The return of the Frontman (In Ho) added a chilling, calculated energy to the season, and the dynamic with his brother Jun Ho raised the stakes even further. Their storyline had me on edge the whole time, especially with the ever-present question of who can really be trusted. The reveal of the traitor? Absolutely jaw-dropping.

The writing was tight, the twists hit hard, and the ending? Bittersweet perfection. It was a grim yet fitting close to a series that never shied away from exposing the darkest corners of human nature.

If you’ve followed Squid Game from the beginning, Season 3 is the brutal, emotional payoff you’ve been waiting for. A masterclass in storytelling that left me breathless.

Highly recommended.

A Decade-Old BL That Doesn’t Hold Up to Its Remake

After watching 4 out of 24 episodes of the 2025 remake Revenged Love (which I’m loving so far and is one of my favorites this year!), I decided to check out the original 2015 Falling in Love with a Rival to see how it compares. Let’s just say, it doesn't quite measure up.

The series is much shorter than Revenged Love (8 episodes at 20 minutes each + a 10-minute special), and while there are no snake scenes like in the remake (which I didn’t mind), it still doesn’t hold the same charm. The plot was messy and felt like scenes were just cut and pasted together, with no real flow. 🌀

The rooms and sets were outdated for a 2015 series—honestly, Addicted (2016) had better visuals. While I liked the chemistry between Chi Cheng and Wu Suo Wei, some of their movements were awkward and didn’t feel natural at all. Even their uncut kissing scenes were poorly shot. 😬

The second couple had only about 2 minutes of screen time, which was a huge disappointment since Revenged Love really focuses on them. 😞

Overall, while I did enjoy a few scenes, the remake is definitely the superior version. If you’re curious, I’d recommend checking out Revenged Love first!

Messy plot, but MaxNat chemistry saves the day

As a longtime MaxNat fan (Cutie Pie, Two Worlds, and currently Suntiny), I had high expectations—and in terms of chemistry, they didn’t disappoint 💯 These two have incredible screen presence together, and their romantic scenes (especially the kiss and NC ones) were intense, emotional, and beautifully shot 😍🔥

Visually, Naughty Babe is stunning. The cinematography, locations, and styling all give the series a polished, high-quality feel 🎥🌄 It’s a feast for the eyes in every way.

But... the plot is where things fall short 😕 The storyline is quite messy—between the business-arranged marriage, Switzerland escape, and amnesia twist, it just felt like too much without enough depth or consistency. I found myself enjoying the moments more than the actual story.

The frustrating part is that Max and Nat have the acting chops to deliver a great emotional drama, but the writing just didn’t live up to their potential. It had the ingredients to be something amazing, but ended up feeling like a collection of nice scenes rather than a strong, cohesive series.

Still, for fans of the couple or anyone looking for a visually beautiful, romance-heavy BL with steamy moments and great actors, it’s worth the watch. Just don’t expect a tightly written plot 🫠

Kimi no Koto Dake... But I Was Watching the Clock

I watched all 4 episodes (about 20 minutes each) in one go, and unfortunately, I was bored from start to finish 😴. The plot felt empty, and the leads had no chemistry at all — nothing pulled me in.

Visually, it didn’t help either — the kiss scene by the fire pit was so dark I could barely see anything 🔥🌑. Both kiss scenes lacked emotion and impact, which made things feel even flatter.

I’m glad I finished it, but this is one of those BLs I’ll never rewatch or even remember in a few weeks. Just not for me.

⭐️ 5/10
💤 Dull, dim, and forgettable — a BL I won’t be revisiting.

This series is powerful, but it’s not an easy watch.

I’ve watched over 250+ BLs, but Happy to End is definitely one of the hardest to get through. 😔 This show is not for the faint-hearted. Be prepared for some heavy, triggering content. ⚠️ It includes child rape, abuse, alcoholism, prostitute parents, abandonment, suicide, and much more. I was deeply traumatized after finishing it. 💔

No child should ever have to go through what the characters in this show did. It’s honestly one of the worst childhoods you could imagine. 😢

That being said, I still rated it 8/10. Both of the lead actors did an amazing job, and their chemistry was undeniable. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 The performances really carried the show, and despite the dark themes, I found myself invested in their characters. 🎬

Final Thoughts:
This series is powerful, but it’s not an easy watch. Be warned before you in. ⚠️ The emotional toll is real, but the acting and depth of the story left a lasting impact.

A Delightful Mini BL Getaway – Y Journey: Stay Like a Local is a Must-Watch for Fans! ???

Just finished Y Journey: Stay Like a Local (6 eps) — and I absolutely loved it! 🇹🇭✨
I’m giving it a solid 8.5/10! 💯

📺 Only 6 episodes, each under 10 minutes — so it’s a super quick binge (less than an hour!) but packed with charm.

💖 It was such a treat to see all my fave BL actors reunited:
• LeeFrank (Love Syndrome III)
• NetJames (Bed Friend)
• Fluke (Until We Meet Again)
• MaxNat (Two Worlds, Naughty Babe)
• MosBank (Big Dragon)
• Thai (Unforgotten Night)

🌄 The scenery was absolutely stunning — from landscapes to local vibes, Thailand truly shines in this one.

🍜 And don’t get me started on the food! Thai cuisine looked so delicious I was drooling through the screen.

Although it’s short and sweet, this series is definitely a fun watch for any BL fan wanting to see their favorite actors in new settings with feel-good vibes. 🥰

A Parallel Love Full of Pain and Fate ?❤️

This series pulls you right into an emotional rollercoaster between two timelines, two Krams, and one unforgettable love. The premise is wild—in one world, Phupha is gone and Kram mourns deeply. Suddenly, he’s thrown into a parallel universe where another Kram had once loved Thai, only to die at the hands of Thai's own father. 😭💔

When Thai sees “Kram” again on that road, the shock, confusion, and heartbreak in his eyes were everything. The tension, longing, and mystery had me on edge every episode. Thai and Kram's chemistry is 🔥 and the emotions are so raw and layered.

✨ I loved seeing Gun (from Unforgotten Night) finally take the spotlight as Phupha—so manly, handsome, and just giving daddy vibes all the way 😍. Mas and Nat are fantastic as Thai and Kram—great casting, emotional depth, and strong screen presence. Also, it was my first time watching Pak and Mon as the second couple and their chemistry is insane! 🫠💘

💋 All the NC/loving scenes were beautifully shot—so passionate yet intimate. And the forest and water scenes were stunning. I love how it’s set away from the busy city—very atmospheric and dreamlike.

🌀 The only reason I didn’t give it a 10/10 is because the two parallel worlds were a bit confusing at times. I might need to rewatch certain parts to fully understand the plot. But overall, I really enjoyed this BL. Deep, mysterious, and full of raw emotion.

Disappointing Follow-Up: Lovely Writer Special Episode Lacks the Heart of the Main Series

I loved the main series of Lovely Writer, but unfortunately, the 105-minute special episode didn’t quite live up to my expectations. 😕

After two years, I was hoping to see a deeper, stronger bond between Gene and Nubsib, but instead, it felt like their relationship hadn't progressed much at all. In fact, the plot seemed a bit off, and I found myself confused for most of the episode. There were too many extra characters added, and none of them really contributed anything meaningful to the story. I honestly just wanted the special to focus on Gene and Nubsib and their relationship without all the distractions. 😔

This is the first time I’ve ever felt disappointed by a special episode after a main series. I really think it would’ve been better if they just ended things with the main series, as the special didn’t add much to the story or their development.

That being said, I did love the moment when Gene gave Nubsib the bracelet from his dad—it was a beautiful gesture that showed just how committed he was. That moment alone was the highlight of the special for me. 💖

Overall, it’s an 8/10 for me. Not terrible, but definitely not as strong as the main series.

Unforgotten Night: The Perfect Guilty Pleasure You Can't Stop Watching

I honestly don’t even know what kept me watching Unforgotten Night—the plot isn’t revolutionary, the characters make questionable decisions, and some moments are borderline absurd. Yet, despite all that, I couldn’t stop. I ended up binge-watching all 12 episodes in just two sittings. There’s something about it that pulls you in, even when you know it’s a bit of a mess.

The show follows Kim, a 25-year-old office worker, who's been secretly in love with his senior, Day, for a long time. To get over him, he decides to have a one-night stand with a random stranger he meets at a bar. Enter Kamol, a 30-year-old mafia boss with some very special needs in the bedroom. He’s been hopping from one partner to the next, looking for someone who can truly satisfy him. And Kim? Well, he’s exactly what Kamol’s been searching for. Once Kamol lays eyes on him, he’s determined to make Kim his own, and thus begins their messy, intense journey.

What really kept me hooked was Kamol’s insane dedication to Kim. Kim plays hard to get, he’s stubborn and sassy as hell, but Kamol keeps coming back for more. Every episode, Kamol does whatever it takes to win Kim’s heart, and honestly? It was addicting to watch. Kamol’s persistence, despite the many walls Kim throws up, is what made me keep watching. It’s a slow burn, but when it finally heats up, it’s worth it.

As for Kim—he’s a total mood. His sharp tongue, sassy comebacks, and general "I’m not impressed by anything" attitude made him such a fun character. He’s tough to crack, and that’s exactly what makes his dynamic with Kamol so interesting. The way he stays one step ahead, constantly throwing out “already ready” responses, made me laugh more than I expected.

But it’s not just the leads that make this show enjoyable. The side characters brought so much to the table. Day and Itt’s height difference and their playful interactions were adorable, and Ruj, Krit, and Lop? They were the comic relief I didn’t know I needed. Honestly, their shower scene was one of my favorites—it was so hot and steamy, and the chemistry between the three of them was undeniable. I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more of this threesome bodyguard trio! They added so much fun and heat to the show, and their moments together were always a highlight for me.

I also loved Baiboon’s pure innocence and cuteness. His moments with Kim and Kamol brought some much-needed lightness to the show. And then there’s Kom—his loyalty to Kamol and his care for Baiboon made him such a solid character. It’s nice to see loyalty like that in the mafia world, where trust is hard to come by.

Another part of the show I appreciated was the unwavering support Kim got from his friends, May and Jin. No matter how messy his life got, they were always there for him. Their care and love for him felt so real. And Kamol’s journey from being an orphan to finding a sense of family with Kim’s parents was beautiful. Kim’s parents were just so lovely and understanding. They accepted Kim and Kamol’s relationship with open arms, and seeing Kamol, who grew up as an orphan, finally able to call them his own was such a heartwarming moment. It added so much emotional depth to Kamol’s character arc, and I really felt for him in those moments.

There’s also Danil, whose obsession with Kamol is both creepy and fascinating. His fixation added a certain edge to the show, and it was fun to see how far he’d go to get Kamol’s attention.

Now, I totally agree with what a lot of others are saying about this show—it’s so bad, it becomes good. The plot is all over the place, the music often doesn’t match the scene, and honestly, some moments felt like they were just cut and pasted together without any real flow. The mafia boss and his four bodyguards literally kill everyone in their path with zero consequences, which is both ridiculous and strangely entertaining. Unforgotten Night is a hot mess—it's bad, funny, and silly all at the same time, which, somehow, makes it even more addictive. The flaws make it so much fun to watch because you just can’t look away. It’s so over-the-top, but that’s what keeps you coming back for more.

Sure, the show has its melodramatic moments, and the writing can get a little on the nose at times, but I couldn’t help getting wrapped up in the messy drama. Kamol and Kim’s relationship goes through so many twists and turns that you can’t help but root for them, even when it all feels a bit too much.

It’s not a perfect show, but I can’t help but love how it made me feel. The ending left me wanting more, and now, even days after finishing, I’m still thinking about it. Unforgotten Night isn’t flawless, but it’s definitely a wild, messy ride you won’t be able to stop watching once you’re in.

A Dark Journey into Trauma, Revenge, and Unexpected Love

Love Syndrome: The New Beginning is a gripping film that explores the complex and often painful dynamics of abuse, guilt, and redemption. The story follows Itt, who orchestrates a harmful plan against Day's younger brother, Night. In retaliation, Day inflicts severe emotional and physical abuse on Itt, using the situation to control and manipulate him. Despite this, both characters begin to develop complicated feelings for each other, raising the question of whether love can emerge from such a toxic foundation.

The performances from the lead actors are strong, with the tension between Itt and Day feeling palpable and raw. The film effectively captures the emotional turmoil and vulnerability of its characters, offering a nuanced look at how trauma can intertwine with affection in unhealthy ways.

While the film deals with heavy themes of abuse and manipulation, it’s a thought-provoking exploration of how human connection can evolve in the darkest circumstances. The pacing, cinematography, and soundtrack all contribute to the intense atmosphere, adding depth to the emotional landscape of the film.

Unfortunately, the director passed away a couple of months before the movie’s release, and it seems there won’t be a sequel to explore the characters further. It’s a tragic loss for the industry, as the potential for more from this story was evident.

Overall, Love Syndrome: The New Beginning is a challenging but compelling watch. If you’re ready to dive into its difficult themes, it’s definitely worth the experience. I’d rate it 8/10.

? Wedding Plan Special Episode – A Perfect Ending for the Planner ?✨

What a beautiful and heartfelt way to wrap up the series! 😭💖 After working hard at work planning weddings for others, Nuea finally gets his own surprise wedding — and it couldn’t have been more perfect 💫

What really stood out was the traditional Thai ceremony held in remote Chiang Mai, rather than the usual Western-style setup. It was deeply cultural, intimate, and so visually beautiful 🌿🌸 Watching Lom and Nuea tie the knot in such a meaningful setting made my heart burst with joy 🥹💕

The atmosphere, the soft music, the emotions — everything about this special episode was so romantic and sweet. It truly felt like the happy ending they both deserved 🫶✨

Seeing Nuea so surprised and emotional, and Lom proudly standing by his side in traditional attire, just sealed the deal for me 💍😍 It was simple but so full of love. I'm so glad they gave us this extra chapter to end things on such a high note.

9/10 — a warm, loving finale to a cute and chaotic love story! 💞🌈

? A Love That Defied Death – Haunting, Beautiful, and Unforgettable

Eternal Yesterday (Eien no Kino) is one of those dramas that only Japan could come up with—where else would you get a love story involving a literal living corpse? And yet, despite the strange and surreal premise, it works so beautifully. It’s poetic, heart-wrenching, and unforgettable.

From the very beginning, it’s clear this is a story about love at first sight—on both sides. The connection between Koichi and Mitsuru (Micchan) is instant and intense, and the drama does a beautiful job exploring the depth of their bond, even when death gets in the way.

I absolutely loved Koichi. He was so protective of Mitsuru from the start—whether it was standing up to bullies in the classroom or always walking on the traffic side of the road to shield him. Ironically, that very habit led to the truck accident that took his life. Speaking of the truck—honestly, the driver should have been fined or jailed. He was clearly speeding and caused Koichi’s death. But even after being hit, Koichi got up and his first thought was still Micchan. That says everything about the kind of person he is—selfless and full of love. Even in their final moments together, he was still thinking about Micchan’s future, saying he couldn’t leave his “corpse” behind because it wouldn’t look good for Micchan. It broke me. He was always putting Micchan first.

And then there was that final scene. The crying, the love-making, the constant exchange of “I love you”s—God, it was so emotional. Koichi knew he was disappearing soon, and his tears showed just how much he didn’t want to leave. Meanwhile, Micchan tried so hard to comfort him, saying things like “You are the one I love the most,” “I will never forget you,” and “You’ll always be my number one until I die.” Those words hit so hard. It was painful to watch two people love each other so deeply and still have to say goodbye.

Overall, Eternal Yesterday is an incredible series—unusual, emotional, and deeply moving. The plot and chemistry are everything. My only wish is that Japan would invest a bit more in the production quality of their BL dramas. Compared to Korean or Thai BL, the visuals and cinematography here felt a little lacking—but the story and the emotional depth absolutely make up for it.

If you’re looking for a BL that’s raw, touching, and unique, this one is a must-watch.

My Heart Has Been Reset

Past 10 weeks, Mondays have been incredible because of Reset. Wow. This show kicks off with a bang and doesn’t let up for a second. Another time-travel BL — but this time, we’re going back into the past ⏳ — and it totally gave me My Stand-In vibes (in the best way)!

Pond as Armin 💙 truly shines here. I loved him in Fourever You, but this role suits him even better. His chemistry with Thada (Peterpan) 💛 is magnetic. No hate to Earth (I adore him 🥺), but Pond and Peterpan just click. 👏

All 10 episodes are over an hour long ⏱️, yet they fly by. Not a single dull moment — just pure emotion, mystery, and intensity 🎢🔥.

And let’s talk visuals — the 1999 setting is chef’s kiss 👏✨. From vintage cars 🚗 and old-school phones 📞 to the old houses and clothes 🏡, you can feel the production effort.

That line — “My life has been reset” 💔 — ties so beautifully into the title and theme. A perfect metaphor for love, second chances, and fate.

The romantic scenes are unforgettable:

That kiss on the beach was already 🔥.
The NC pool scene? Next level. The purple-pink lighting, the sensual music, and those four words — “I am yours, Tada” — right before that passionate kiss… pure electricity 💦💋.
Episode 6’s love scene was like poetry in motion: tender, aching, spellbinding.
Episode 9’s bathroom-to-sofa scene was soft yet intense, love unfolding in real time.
The shooting scene in Episode 8 was haunting and raw, and Peter caring for Pond in the hospital right after melted my heart. 💔
The finale with both of them crying in the hospital had me emotional all over again.
And can we talk about Veynai, the bodyguard? 🔥 He’s so hot and adorable. I really hope we see him in more series — he totally stole some scenes for me!

Once again, Peter and Pond were exceptional. Their chemistry is so natural, so magnetic — it didn’t feel like acting. It felt like truth.

I can’t believe it’s over. It feels like just yesterday I pressed play on Episode 1, wide-eyed and curious, not knowing I would fall this deep. Good things always seem to slip through our fingers too soon.

I only wish it were longer — because I’m not ready to say goodbye. 💔✨
