Watching their relationship develop was intoxicating to me
I don't even know where to start. This is so brilliantly done! I guess I'll begin with a slow hand clap for Chinese BL. 👏👏👏 You're killing it right now.
The story is soooo good. Deep In describes the story, the storytelling, and, for me as a viewer, the way I experienced this drama. I can't remember the last time I was so absorbed in a show!
The acting and the actors contributed to that. I loved watching the mains. Their characters were complex and the chemistry was fire. The visuals were amazing as well, by which I mean they are both beautiful and the way they were captured on film was soft and inviting.
OST was perfect, especially the opening and closing themes. I often just pick a number for the music rating but this soundtrack was truly 10 of 10!
The writing was good. It was the perfect balance of easy to follow but also what the heck just happened moments. I was clinging to every word.
The production was fantastic. Camera work. Direction. Lighting. Set design. Wardrobe. Editing. So so good. I never felt like something was off or distracting.
Top notch job by everyone involved! And now I kinda want to read the novel!
Update: the 9.5 is largely due to the fact that A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream is so damn good that I have to recalibrate how I rate other series!
