A Queer Rendezvous

Showcasing two couples with a different storyline intersecting yet remaining parallel is a treat to watch. I'm pretty open to all kinds of relationship so two brothers being in love didn't seem awkward to me.

On one hand, Hsia Yu Hao's character which is usually a riff-raff turning into lovelorn was exhilarating, Qiu Zi Xuan a self-assured, determined and resilient character shying away from love was gripping on the other. My favourite take away from their love story is the former being a 'Mama's boy' and the latter having 'Sister Complex'. That made them adorable! Hsia Yu Hao's admiration turned obsession turned infatuation with Qiu Zi Xuan is a treat to watch.

Wang Zhen Wen and Wang Zhen Wu had an open-ended denouement. It provokes a thought that the makers of the series weren't sure how the audience will receive this story yet they dared to show it because it's unusual. Well, not everyone can digest an incest love story. It is incest since they are a family no matter how it's formed. But at least I liked how they showed a subtle improvement in the characters' relationship from being brothers to a new start - they are ready to give their newfound love a chance. Not taking it on a full swing but gradually building it by testing waters is a wise approach to this kind of couple and that's what is shown so no complaints.

The newness in both stories is the approach each character takes to propose the idea of love to the other. The characters are cautious about taking their potential partner's mind space in mind. Trying to read every thought yet desperately attempting to restraint their inner raging emotion to confess everything at one go. Each character's confession is in unique but all were impactful.

I have already rewatched it 5 times so you can see, it's worth a shot. I recommend watching the series, it had been my favourite since the time it aired.
