a great watch: rare masterpiece in the genre of true-story BLs

I feel like this movie is criminally underrated. I don't have the words to describe how much I loved this one. It gave me the feels I had with Your Name Engraved Herein, but I smiled even more. It is what you would call a bromantic tragicomedy with a cinematic touch. I would be lying if I said I fully understood what was going on in Blue Lan's head at that time, regarding his feelings for his best friend. I had believed he truly saw him as nothing more than a best friend/brother, but I don't know if I got it wrong after reaching the end of the story. I do know he loved Shiang as much as he loved that girl. That said and done, I was satisfied with that outing on the beach and at the gay bar, and that french kiss!!! I love the charismatic gay teacher too, as well as my favorite transgirl ever and Zheng's supportive love interest.

I loved the way this movie portrayed the challenges that come with being bisexual. As a gay 18yo who's swiftly conquering his biphobia/transphobia, this movie shed a deeper light on what bisexuality really is, and what being a transperson really entails, unlike how the world views both cases. So, I could go on and on about this movie, but let me spare your reading.

COMEDY - I would rate this a 10/10. They knew how to incorporate this even after sad scenes. The jokes were realistic and actually funny. Had me pausing and chuckling under bed sheets. That noodles/xxxvideo scene? Bwahahaha!
REALITY - A 9.5/10. Although I find it weird that Shiang could still remain close friends with Zheng after the confession of feelings, it actually happened in real life. I guess shit happens, but I would never do that. Lmao.
ACTING/PLOT - A combined 9.5/10. I did this because the actors were able to convey the plot in an outstanding manner.

All said and done, did Zheng get divorced? Anygays, I hope this movie has won awards! I really want to see it have a viewership revival! I feel bad for the true BL fans who don't know what they've been missing for the past few months!
