Not what I was hoping for

So, as a bl lover, I was left dissatisfied and disappointed by the story. Even though I understand it had to be more bromance, than romance, I felt like something was missing from the story in the sense of the relationship of the two male mcs and that left me hanging. On the other hand, the character of the wife of one of the mcs is better than I expected her to be, and I would feel guilty if something more developed between the two male mcs, so I guess this was for the better. The whole opera part of the story eluded me due to cultural differences, so I can't say I enjoyed that part. Aside from that, I have to commend the actors who did wonderful job in portaying their characters in very natural and relaxed way, I was very impressed by that. Also, as far production goes, every little scene was perfectly done down to the smallest details, so kudos for that as well. Costumes and props were beautiful and very period appropriate, which made the whole republican era very realistic and vivid. Overall, I can say that drama was very well done, with great quality and great actors, who all done great job, but the story itself left me feeling incomplete and dissatisfied, but it is very personal and subjective thing. Objectively speaking it is a good drama, but I am rating it with my subjective heart, not objective reasons.
