Got my stomach in knots

It's great series that goes beyond BL genre. I made this account to keep track of BL series but WBL s2 is amazing even compare to common dramas. It's such a shame the series is short bc I definitely need more. The theme and tone of s2 is completely different from s1, but it captured me in another way. The film-making is great. I feel like the film crew does not treat it as a BL which should be the norms but the truth is BL as a genre is normally made and marketed differently from the rest. Plot-wise it might not be your cup of tea bc it contains a lot of tropes but the way these characters deal with it made it quite realistic. Just bc they are fictional characters does not mean they have to be perfect. They are human and their flaws made them real. The OSTs have been my playlist for weeks now and they created different instrumental of the songs for different scenes. I love the songs the actors choose for their characters too, they fit perfectly well and express the character even more.

The acting is phenomenal. Sam Lin is such brilliant actor it caught me by surprise. He understands the assignment and created an authentic character like Shide. Yu is astounding consider this is his first acting experience. He took on the role so well for a beginner I can't believe it. Their chemistry is off the chart. Not only as characters but also as partners in this project. It's amazed how Yu can accommodate to Sam's acting even in those scenes without script. They really know the characters so well they can improvise and still completely in character. I have goosebumps.

It's only half of the season but I think it will be my all-time favorite BL series. Keep watching it on repeat. S1 was so beautiful but S2 made me hold my breath. Hope the remaining ep turn out well so it will become my comfort series <3
