Wow. WOW! Deep In delivered an absolutely stunning, captivating show that made the viewer feel exactly what our main character felt: what happens when reality and fiction start becoming blurred? The way this story is told is probably the most unique storytelling I have ever seen in a BL, probably in any show ever. The back and forth between the show within the show and the lives of the actors was so well done, with the aspect ratio changing just to make sure the viewer knew, but having every storyline in the show within the show parallel something happening in the lives of the actors was GENIUS! Even when I thought there was no way they could make it work, they did. And I loved every MINUTE of it! In fact, I ended up so engrossed in the show they were filming that I would get mad to hear the director yell "cut!" and would sometimes forget which characters were the actors vs. the characters in the show. Absolutely brilliant writing and directing.

Zhang Zhun (Shu Yuan) is a struggling actor trying to make enough money to propose to his long-term girlfriend. He finally manages to land a role alongside a big actor, Zhen Xin (Ollie), in a queer film. The two of them are tasked with building chemistry before their roles begin, and as they start filming, they begin to blur the line between the feelings of their characters and their own feelings.

The actors did a FANTASTIC job portraying these characters, with amazing chemistry and fantastic acting. It was so insane to watch them portray TWO different characters each in this show and be so good at it. I can't believe how much I enjoyed both the actor's storyline and the show they were filming. Both were so engaging, with great tension in the plot and between the characters. This one is 100% worth watching.
