Beautiful and clever story

At the end you have to sit and think about this one for a bit, drawing threads together that run through the story, from the opening plagiarism accusations right the way to the last scene. Can these separate, very different, once connected, lives rescue each other in the present?

Loved the story-telling, the cinematography and the acting. The character and relationship development is lovely as despair, confidence and hope flows between the two leads. Not a simple BL story by any means and feels all the more authentic for it.

Acting you can believe

The plot is unremarkable but what makes this show watchable are scenes that are genuinely funny, touching and romantic and look natural (‘mum comes home early’ is a prime example). All of this is helped by lead actors who actually look comfortable together and whose intimacy is therefore convincing. One of the behind the scenes videos shows some of the exercises they did to become physically at ease with each other — sooo interesting! I also loved how they broke into Japanese some of the time. For sure worth the WeTV subscription :)
