another comfort series!

even though it seems like this is an open-ending series, but i really love everything in it! a lot of details worth the time! because i can rewatch this series over and over again and find more details that could elaborate to the story line more. i have no complaint at all since i know there might be another series coming very soon! definitely waiting for jiang tian's background and how their relationship will develop in the future.

one of the reason why i like this series so much is because how involved the studying plot. i mean, i do need the motivation to study. and by this, i'm very motivated to study because i see how hardworking they are for their grades.

another reason is their acting. especially for ben, i love the facial expressions! i love to interpret my own thinking to what is he going through based on how he expresses the character.

maybe the last reasons: ost and another small details. who knows the ost would have so much impact on the series and me myself?? i could never be happy while listening to the ost tho. for the small details, i'm currently rewatching the whole series and i'm at eps 11. i didn't really pay attention to how they address each other. but now i guess i need to rewatch again and see how it's different. from xiaowang and gege.

oh there might be some details that are not explained in this series. but it isn't that crucial. but if they actually elaborate more, i think it will be more complete and clear.

obviously not a romance-focused series

first of all i want to say thankyou for everyone involved in this series-yinwar, actors, director, producers, staffs, everyone. i might be new in this fandom (less than a month, i'm here after eps 9) but i'm very grateful and thankful i'm not late. big applause to yinwar, for believing in the story, potraying jack and joker, invest their own money..

it is indeed a successful series. hopefully i'll still be here to see them enjoy the view of northern light. hope to see more of their works, either as a partner or individually. a big thankyou as well for other actors and staffs involved. they made this series possible.

now i want to talk about things i remember. this is me after finishing the series earlier this morning hahaha. plot holes. it's something that's been bothering me. i can't mention every plot holes i found but for sure i'll try to read others' opinions and to see if i can find new facts to make this story whole in my head. maybe the first one is- the couple ring. people said it's the fake ring joker made during that robbery scene(?) i guess it's correct? but again, some plots aren't explained explicitly. sometimes i just don't have the memory nor ability to pick up all the cues and connect them. and some other plots that maybe i just don't remember the details well lol

i loveee the osts! no complaint ofc. acting? amazing. storyline? mindblowing. at first i didn't expect this series to be this heavy and action-focused but hey, they did it! at the end we only get some tiny bit of romance haha but for me it's pretty acceptable but ofcourse i want a bit more of romance, especially after everything jack and joker went through. i also love the character developments!

this is def my fav series of all time! i knew it even before eps 12 airs lol but yeah, highly recommended for people who want to watch bl but not too much romance involved, includes action and comedy as well! at least it's not too heavy because we can still laugh here and there between scenes lol

even though it might seems like there's not much of jack's pov, but for me, both povs are perfect. i love how they potray jack and joker in their own ways. jack struggling with almost everything in his life but still helping people instead of focusing on himself, and joker struggling to ask for jack's forgiveness, stealing while actually his intentions are good. their communication might not be so smooth but it's better than nothing.

so, maybe that's all for now. love the angst as well hahaha hopefully we can see more of heavy plot bl series in the future!

rewatch value 9.5 because it's on iqiyi and i don't think i can handle the stress of thinking about the whole plot lol

another not my cup of tea

honestly i can't really remember which series are not my cup of tea but definitely this is one of them. it's not that i don't like it but i just can't really understand the whole story line. what's the point of go young's love life story, i simply don't really understand. it feels like i just follow along his life story without any exact outcome/summary. that's it. again, it's not that i don't like it, i enjoy every go young's love story, but i just feel like it can be elaborated more for the summary or main point of this series. my brain can't interpret that.

honestly it confused me at first because i don't know which one is the main lead beside nam yoo-su. it broke my heart when the second male, the photographer, died. then it confused me again and again because every man seem not to be the main lead, not until that nursing student. but yeah maybe the main point is that go young's love is now gone because of what he did. idk.

maybe will not rewatch it because it's on viki and i don't really have any subscription of platforms. so.. yeah. not my cup tea but still a good one.
