The most refreshing and sincere BL story I've ever watched

Beautiful on so many levels. This has to be the most perfect BL series I've ever watched. This made me cry so many times (but in a good way) and the ending is just perfect in my opinion. Nothing in this series is forced or unrealistic, which is something so refreshing to see in a sea of so many dull, high school BL dramas.
If you are sick of all the cliché, run of the mill BL storylines revolving around silly miscommunications, forced love-triangles, immature possessive characters and lack of consent- this show will be such a divine fresh breathe of air for you.

The story is simple, but the attention to detail in every aspect of the production, acting, OST, etc. bring it together to be such a wholesome, poignant and important story to tell. For one example, this has to be one of the only BL series where the side characters are not mere annoyances or cardboard cut-outs. They're real people with their own stories to tell that add to the realism of the story (even despite the short length of the series). The main characters are not gay characters existing in a "gay world". These are real people having their story told in a sincere, mature and honest way.

There's so many things I could say about this series, but in summary I just absolutely loved it. This series transcends the BL genre and stands alone as a wholly human, masterfully told story. Pure romance, pure perfection. What I want most out of a BL series is too feel the love, feel the romance- and that's what this series accomplished. That and more.
