I picked up Connecting to You completely on a whim yesterday as I wanted something quick and easy to get through, it was on Viki, I hadn't seen it, I looked at the summary and was like sure why not. So once again to say the least I went in not really knowing what to expect other than it being BL and that threads connected people… and honestly, I didn’t expect to enjoy it like I did. So, a small thing about this, I went in because the idea of the threads was interesting. So, I went in expecting cute threads that's it. And boy it was indeed cute.
The story has such a lovely balance between touching and humour. There was great humour in it, like in the first couple mins of the first episode, mans in half naked on the roof to same someone. But then there's also at the same time, the emotional and psychological side of the story adds so much more depth, the feeling of wanting a connection when he has never had one. So loads of cute moments.
I must say this as well when I wrote this review. I love chemistry I watch anything if the chemistry is coated, and Jia kai and Da wei? They didn't disappoint whatsoever in. Their chemistry is so much fun to watch. And they are cute. I was actively smiling at points. 5,4,3,2,1 heheheh. Cute.
It really felt like the show has found this perfect mix of comedy, romance, fantasy elementd, emotional moments, colourful visuals.
So, yes it was far from original IMO since the res string of fate I have read so many books and seen so many shows that does this. BUT they top it differently in a way. I liked that. So if you like cute fun moments and an interesting fantasy minor plot can def recommend this one.
