SO so very wondeful

This is a BL drama but also so much more. It is beautifully written and the plot has just enough twists to keep you interested but not so many as to wear your enjoyment out.
It is essentially a fairy tale - but fairy tales can still deliver strong messages and be wondrous at the same time.
The actors are well cast and the actors perform very well together making their characters develop well. As always the supporting cast are weak and overly given to playing pantomime in a way you see in all Thai and Korean drama. I know that almost seems a cultural requirement but I do wish that directors would move on from this. Asian drama has moved a long way forward in the last few years and this drama shows that.
The story is in some part based on the novella "The Little Prince" but is not just a reworking. In many ways the most recognisable aspect it draws from the novella is with the insights it gives to the human condition, on life and death, love and obsession, dreams and reality.
From the outset it is clear that the ending was going to be a difficult task and by the time we got to the last episode I nearly stopped watching as I couldn't 'bear' the story to end as I feared it would. I am glad I stayed the course as the ending is quite superb and beautifully done.
It is truly the best show I have watched all year. Thank you so much.
