I didn't know what to expect from Cherry Blossoms After Winter but I liked it more than I expected. The story is quite unique in that it portrays different phases of their lives. From childhood to high school to college to marriage. This is fresh because most BLs focus on one scenario with maybe a little part at the end that shows their life a year later. With this you have the idea that they really are meant to spend their whole lives together. The actors are expressive and have good chemistry, and it was easy to watch. I did skip the bullying part in the beginning but that didn't last for long at all.

While the drama is enjoyable, I would have liked for it to have been a little longer to better portray their closeness. Nevertheless, there was just enough time to understand their closeness. The pair is very affectionate and they are both honest with their feelings all throughout so it is not as frustrating to watch as other BLs.
