Moral

I must confess, I HATED the ending. It completely destroyed me, I cried for hours straight, I could not get over it, I just simply couldn't. I didn't want to accept the fact that it turned out that way. Ep. 19 and 20 were painful for me to watch, I really couldn't stand it; I was mad, upset but also sad. I was so invested in this drama, I fell in love with those actors, their acting, the plot itself even though it was a BL based in university had something special and unique about it. I loved the series from the very first minute. It was amazing. But those truly are the emotions that I felt watching the last episodes.
However, the more I think about it, the more I realise that the director is truly a genius. The thing is, are we surprised it had a sad ending? Or tragic, should I say.
The title itself, ,,Make Our Days Count" says a lot; the OST too. I guess we were shocked because it came unexpectedly, when everything was fine. But wasn't that the point? The fact that we are all angry and upset about it says that the director did a good job. Throughout the series, they've introduced us to these characters. This whole time we got to know them, in the end we got to feel their emotions; we were happy when they were happy, we were sad when they were sad. We got truly attached to them. They made us see their lives, their struggles, how they react to certain situations, their emotions, and we got to experience them along with them. When the tragedy happened, we were all shocked. We couldn't understand it, we didn't get why it was so sudden? Fans were mad, kept saying that this was very much pointless and it should have had a happy ending; all this because it was just so sudden and unexpected. But this is the reality they tried to show us. This is why we were so upset over it. Because life is very much unexpected, we do not know what will happen in the future, what will happen on the next day, what will happen in an hour; we can't predict it, we just live our lives mostly not worrying about those stuff. And this is exactly what Haoting went through. One minute he was happy with the love of his life, and the next minute his life turned upside down. Even 6 years later, he still had troubles overcoming the loss of XiGu; and we got to experience it with him. He didn't expect it, it just came down and hit him in his face like that, and I feel like this is the message they were trying to get through. I understand why fans might be mad, I saw comments of people saying it's rubbish because LGBT+ community have enough tragedy in their real lives. This is very much true; however, we can't make every BL have a happy ending. I hope that maybe at least some of you will get my point. I think that this drama was very well done and planned.
I've never written any reviews, like ever, and english isn't my first language, so I am sorry for any mistakes.
