GO WATCH THIS PLEASE I AM BEGGING
It's been a hot minute since I saw this drama but I just had to come back for a review.
To anyone who has not yet watched this or the ones debating whether or not they should give Litchi a shot, and perhaps even the ones who've seen it once already, PLEASE WATCH IT. It's a beautiful drama that's more art rather than your classic formulaic BL and THANK GOD, because it is truly so valuable in its core with the symbolism and the deeply philosophical questions that are touched on in the series. Let alone the phenomenal acting, directing and cinematographical work!! ART!!!
Let me take a quick dive: I've seen some of the BTS material and when you watch the directing and how the actors pick up the instructions and use them, it's fascinating to see and makes you understand how much intent and skill lies behind every shot, every frame. The emotions, the quiet moments where there's no dialogue and only body language, really show just how amazing the actors are. The directing pushed this work to its highest quality in terms of storytelling. You were forced to immerse yourself in the story because it truly came alive onscreen and pulled you in with its distinct vibrant feel and display of emotions. This story was crafted with intent, love for the cause and it seemed to me that it is truly the creators' idea fleshed out, you can feel the soul in it. This is not something you can binge-watch and forget again.
Phew. Okay. What I originally came here to say was, that everyone who hasn't done it yet, should go check the studio's YouTube account where they released the episodes (I believe all of them are still uploaded and accessible for free) and go read the comments of the creators. They put a lot of thought into this drama and Lizzy even replied to comments asking about the philosophical values of the show. It was this that led me down a rabbit hole of philosopher Hegel's work. This show is nuanced, masterfully curated with attention to detail and visually stunning, with amazing acting and a soundtrack that makes every second memorable and enjoyable. Go watch!
