This was a really good show! A curious mix between "guilty pleasure binge" and "a show that really made me think about life and the choices we make." Would you rather peacefully stay alive, live in relative mediocracy and let go of "all that could have been" or would you rather live out the rest of your shorter life achieving your dreams and really living life?

Bromance is off the charts, and rather satisfying. I'm not a fan of a forced-yaoi moments (can't think of a better word for those scenes...) through the lens of the female fan, but their interactions are pretty sweet. I like to contrast Lu Xiang's relationship with Bai Ying with Lu Fei's relationship with You You. Despite what Bai Ying says, I don't think Bai Ying can ever see Lu Xiang for who he really is and to Bai Ying, Lu Xiang will never hold a light to Bai Ling. Whereas You You likes Lu Fei for exactly who he is, even if there is a hotter, more popular "version" of him out there.

Definitely a huge fan of the music!
