One of the best I’ve ever seen!!!

Amazing, amazing movie!!!!

Relationship/BL Factor:
The actors are beautiful and their acting is very believable! They have a lot of chemistry between them, so when they fall in love, you truly are rooting for them to be together. There are some great romantic scenes that feel earned, realistic and domestic. Nothing feels forced, awkward or out of place. You 100% believe that they are a loving young couple.

Plot:
Wow!!!! This was so unexpected!! Instead of being the usual (and kinda boring ^^”) high school BL or mushy BL, the main character is an assassin! The plot is very interesting! And there’s a major plot twist that is very satisfying!!!
The story is also kind of dark compared to regular movies and I really loved that!

The ending:
Spoilers, of course!
But it has a happy ending, which for me is a must!!!

Overall, the best BL I have seen yet! I cannot recommend this enough!

We could have had it all

I’ll start by saying that, when I was on episode 5, I thought “Wow!! This is the best BL I’ve ever seen!!!!”
Like, I could not believe how good it was: the acting, the story, the production, the editing, the shots, everything was amazing and super high quality.

But.

Once they started wrapping up the story (around episode 8) things took a turn. Tian/Phu were kinda distant, and there were so many issues between them that we barely got those lovig scenes we had earlier.

Also, but more importantly... it kind of felt like there was no payoff. The story was so interesting, the plot was so good, but the romance just fizzled out and died at the end.
There were SO MANY scenes where it would have been perfection them to have a dramatic kiss. And then for us to be able to see them as a couple for a few episodes.

But they chose to kinda kill the romance before it started and then Tian left. At this point I was just so sad and disappointed with how it went down, that even when Tian came back, it sort of all just fell too little too late.
And I also feel like we deserved some proper kiss scenes. They had so much chemistry!! It would have been so good! So this almost felt censored.

If I had my say in it, I would have them confess to each other and kiss before the Torfun reveal (or after the shooting) and then Tian saying that he is not leaving. I don’t think there was any point in him going to America, he already knew what he wanted, and he doesn’t need a degree to teach at the village.

Overall, I would recommend this, because the beginning is so good. But the ending was a bit meh.
