Desperately needs a Xiao Li Cheng-Teng Mu Ren edit
So basically there are two storylines but the problematic bit is the whole Xing Si-Fu Yong Jie track. Fu Yong Jie is nothing but a RED FLAG all along yet the makers choosing to glorify and justify the actions of such a character makes me barf.Drunk Raping is NOT acceptable at any grounds, neither is stalking or emotional manipulation of someone to like them back. I was almost about to discontinue watching the whole series but the Li Cheng- Mu Ren track kept me going. After a point I just skipped the Xing Si storyline and only watched Li Cheng-Mu Ren bits.
Being a big fan of the History franchise, I expected much better! "Close to You" would have been much better if Fu Yong Jie was not made up to be a lead.
To all the people watching, Fu Yong Jie is PROBLEMATIC AF & please steer clear of any such person in your real life if you encounter any, don't go by this series!

SO UNDERRATED! MUST WATCH
Tbh I suddenly stumbled upon the drama on the internet and binged watched it all in one go. The whole topic of how gays are being perceived by general people and the dormant homophobia was so well presented. I adored Kana-chan the most. Cried my eyes out on the ending, it is so bitter-sweet. Loved it as a whole. More people should watch it and hype it up. And also loved how within just 3 episodes the whole story was so well itched. MUST WATCH!I am becoming a fan of Japanese BLs. ?

Must watch!
Loved how easy going yet thought provoking the whole series is! The coming out scene was brilliant.The leads have a palpable chemistry & acted very well! Singto is precious. The story is very well written and not a typical run-a-mill BL thank god! I was crying almost in most bits but also was smiling so hard throughout.
The ending left me sobbing & yet smiling. Not a tragic ending though! The series is deserves much mkre appreciation than it receives.
Overall a great series that every BL fan should watch!
