Clinging to Love

This little miracle of a drama was a sweet and touching, albeit "blue" experience. Qi Lu and Qin Xiao's desperate desire to do what they want and love who they love in the face of forces outside of their control. They hold each other a little closer in the cold, cover bruises with longer sweaters, and push the other onto dry land even as they sink. But, eventually, there does come a day for them. Tan Yin uses his new voice to give one to LiuMing Yang as he puts his past in the past and comes to view Tan Yin as Tan Yin.

In particular, I must praise them for the harsh reality they brought to the table with the way Qi Lu quietly and almost apologetically endured abuse and the delicateness with which Qin Xiao tried to bring him some comfort by giving him a small sense of normalcy. "I know I cannot save you. But I can make you smile when you're with me and forget the hell at home."

I do think there were flaws in the finale as far as the small details of how they wrapped things up, but I don't feel it took away from my overall experience.

I'm so incredibly grateful the rest of this drama got to see the light of day.
