Maybe not the plot you expect at first, but absolutely enjoyable and worth it!

This is one of the best BL series of 2022. Of course, it's not perfect, but its strengths definitely outweigh its weaknesses. Personally, I've really enjoyed it, and after watching so many BL series before, this is saying a lot, as I don't feel like I am easy to be impressed. But this series has touched my heart.

Being realistic it is true the series has some flaws and especially towards the end everything is a little rushed. If we had had a couple more episodes, some details in the plot could have had a better development. But this is a series with only one sponsor and not many resources, I am correct. Bearing that in mind, things like this can happen I guess. Anyway, I can think of very few series lacking flaws, even the ones I admire the most, it's always easy to find improvable details. Having said that, don't be discouraged, as we come to the last episode we will have satisfying and very good ending!

Regarding the plot, some people were an little disappointed. I understand the reasons. At the beginning, it seems we are going down a certain path and then, expectations are not met for some people. Honestly, I think the plot is good, it has an interesting story, it talks about different kinds of social problems, it criticizes injustice, it takes seriously and respectfully the difficulties of the LGTBIQ+ community and mixes it with a mystery plot that, even if it isn't as elaborate as we initially imagined, it's still interesting and enjoyable. (Please just keep in mind that the whole "uniforms" thing really represents a struggle that goes much further)

Coming to the strongest points of the series I want to talk about the character´s development. If you like stories with well-crafted characters, you should see "The Eclipse." It has so many good interpersonal relationships! Not only in the romantic aspect, but at all levels. All the characters are beautifully and meaningfully connected. All their interactions are tremendously enjoyable to watch.

Regarding the second couple, although it caught my attention less than the first, it made me enjoy a lot with their history and their moments. Neo and Louis have done a great job here. They deserve recognition!
The main couple is what took my breath away the most in this series. It is literally one of the best couples I have ever seen. I fell so in love with their relationship and the two characters that it's hard for me to describe how they make me feel. Akk and Ayan are two realistic and interesting characters, full of details and with important conflicts. The development of their relationship from enemies to lovers is simply a masterpiece. Rarely have I seen such a natural and well-managed development. In addition, the trip that we live with them makes us go through a roller coaster of emotions. Their interactions range from the intense and exciting to the most tender sweetness. The actors did an outstanding job here. First and Khaotung have proven to be excellent actors with overflowing chemistry as well. Right now, they are among my favorite actors.

The entire cast of this series has done a brilliant job. They deserve the recognition and love they are getting. Hopefully in the future they can have many more interesting projects.

In short, if you are hesitating whether to give “The Eclipse” a chance, give it a try! You almost certainly won't regret it. This series really deserves your time!
