Nothing special, but so special.

There's nothing much to say about the movie since I already reviewed the TV series not long ago. It is the exact same story with just a tiny little extra content. A little surprise treat. Mind you, this version made me cry at the end.

More than talking about the story, I wanna talk about whoever the hell was the director and people editing this entire series because they did an excellent job. Every single scene flows so beautifully, it feels kind of immaculate. The storytelling through visual imagery had a lot of thought put into it allowing the viewers to immerse themselves in the world of the movie.

Looking back, there's not even a moment where I felt lost and I think it is because the story is simple and clear to understand. Even though the movie had extra scenes of content, it did not mean that the series was confusing either because something was missing and I like that. The extra content was truly, like I said earlier, a treat. It was like a gift to those who enjoyed the series.

Now, mind you, I did cry at the end of the movie. There's something about that specific type of scene that for some reason makes me tear up. It is a cliche scene but it always makes the same strong impact. It was truly beautiful.

Who can truly say what is normal? This movie shows you that every single human being has a different answer.

I could not recommend this enough. Watch the series first and then come and watch the movie for that well deserved extra content. This title is definitely up there on my list of best BL/LGBTQ+ works.
