Perfect amount of everything
*outline*
I was trying to rate the drama harshly but I just couldn't because I liked it so much. I've already watched the drama twice in the past month or so. It's not a cliche, the pacing was perfect (except for EP6.5), and I really got a little attached the characters. It felt like my first time watching a BL even though it isn't and I still can't explain why properly.
*thorough*
STORY : It was something new. I'd never actually watched a drama with the protagonists the way they were and their past like how it was. Usually in every drama, the protagonists have a past - sure - but in this short drama, their past is the reason they actually kept seeing each other and I live for it. Sometimes after I watched the whole drama, the love did feel a little unclear. However, when I'd replay all that happened, I'd always think otherwise. Though I will admit, the story line of the drama does turn for a cliche ending. The pacing was amazing, the feelings and relationship wasn't rushed and that is one of the things that caused me to rewatch this drama.
ACTING/CAST : The level of empathy I felt was through the roof. As I said, it felt like my first time watching a BL and it always does for this particular drama. The characters and roles are unique. All the characters made me cry and laugh along with them. My favorite relationship in this drama was between Gao Shi De and Pei Shou Yi, though. I live for their brotherhood.
MUSIC : The first time I watched the drama I didn't pay much attention to the music but it got me vibing to it anyways and it was the same the second time I watched it. Yes, I ended up adding it to my playlist and I'm listening to it as I'm writing up this review too, actually. (YU - Aqua Blue and Alex Chou - Hard to Let Go)
REWATCH VALUE : I don't think I need to explain why I rated the rewatch value 10. Well, I've already watched it twice, and the drama is short and sweet so it's perfect for a quick watch. I'd rather watch this than any movie out there because it just gives me movie vibes anyways.
*p.s.*
Yes, I would definitely recommend to anyone, whether old or new BL enthusiast. I usually stick to Thai BL's and am not willing to explore but when I heard about this and how great it was meant to be I watched it as soon as the drama had finished airing (I hate waiting for the next episode to drop). And I have no regrets.
*recommendations*
'Until We Meet Again' is a Thai BL but it gives the same vibes... except the characters met much earlier than you think... they don't only have a past, they have a whole generation they went through (can that be classed as a spoiler? oops-)
