This was unlike any other BL drama ive watched and it was amazing, arguably the BL was barely even present.
This was a story , majestically acted, covering all stages of grief and human emotions. It had real depths to it and didnt shy away from anything.

Ive only seen Pond in Forever you so far and clealry that series is not making the best of his potential. His range in this series was magnificent, you could feel his emotions, sorrow, love, sadness, loneliness, desperation, adoration and his endless search for better memories and to be wholly loved. I was taken aback tbh as i didnt expect that level of acting from him, yes exceptionally good looking but in this, he was far more than eye candy. God i was rooting for him, i sooo desperately wanted him to have his happy ending.

I loved that it had only 3 real characters and each of them were excellently acted out, the story was well written, paced well, the characters developed so you understood them all and where they were coming from.
The filming location was simply stunning and fitted the theme and pace of this perfectly.

I loved that you werent distracted by side stories, the typical angry femal lead or revenge plots, sub twists etc, it was exactly what it was.

My only sadness was the ending, he didnt get his happiness, yes resolve on his father but that was replaced by sadness for the unresolved love. I wanted to kick uncle, for being a whimp to, and beyond, the bitter end. I felt sorry for the grief he had carried all these year's and yet, he still never got past it. I think even 5 minutes of seeing Pond in the future, with a forever family, love or happiness, would have settled me. His journey was such an emotional roller coaster and he had suffered so much sadness, i just wanted that 5 minutes.

This was truly a magnificent series, different, sucked you right in, made you invested in how it ended and hats off to all 3 lead actors, fantastically portrayed.
