Reviews
Vagueness - Throughout the movie, the couple faced many problems that were lightly glazed over. The positive is, we as viewers don't have to sit in angst for the characters to reconcile. The negative is, the story feels slightly disconnected. Although, the story is very cohesive considering this.
Acting/Cast - The acting of the main characters was great. There was some cringey or unnatural acting with the smaller roles and one-liner roles (there are more than you think), but not really a big deal.
****Ending - Vague like the rest of it. LOL. Happy in my opinion.
Music - It was good. Nothing to complain about.
Rewatch Value - The couple is cute, but with the plethora of BL dramas and movies I have, I would not pick to rewatch this one. The story is generic. Because of that, my chance of re-watching is low.

Very underdeveloped with a typical BL ending that leaves things up in the air and pretty unsatisfying. Plus the version I watched seemed to have cut out all the intimate scenes. I’m not sure if they edited the movie that way, or if Winspedia (the translators) did. But cutting those scenes of intimacy also cut out part of the story and left me feeling like I was missing something of the emotional intimacy between the characters as well. Overall I just felt board and unfulfilled. Could’ve been a really good story too, how disappointing. Was this review helpful to you?
