I gave it a 10/10 because the story itself was well done. Regardless of the ending everything fell into place and was amazing. The ending was sad, but also happy. When you watch it you will understand why I say this. My heart yearns for peace for Hao Ting in that he finally gets the closure he so desperately needs. If there is a HIStory 4 I will definitely watch. I don't understand why there is so much hate, but as the title says Make Our Days Count is a literal statement we should all live by. We cannot sit idly by and allow time to pass. Every day we need to make it count. Do things you wouldn't normally do. I am happy because Xi Gu did things he wouldn't have done when he was with Hao Ting. He did so much. He was loved and he was able to love someone. Life is not all about happy endings. Yes some of us come to BL dramas to escape the realities of the world and that's okay, but just remember to LIVE! I was thoroughly shaken to the core by the actors acting. They all did such an amazing job.
The guy who looked like Xi Gu was actually someone Hao Ting befriended on a hike. Do you remember what Sun Bo said during the end? He asked Hao Ting what he was going to do now that he'd met the guy. Hao Ting explained that no one could replace Xi Gu and that one day he'd climb the mountain to finally see him again. People feel like Hao Ting is basically saying goodbye to everyone, but I feel he is saying this because that will be the day he finds closure when he climbs the mountain and gets closest to the stars like Xi Gu always wanted to. I am glad he went to college and graduated. it is something both he and Xi Gu wanted, even though Xi Gu was the driving force behind his want to go to college. The moment Hao Ting broke down looking through the box and the moment he watched the young couple walk across the street, it gave me hope that he would one day find solace. I am happy Sun Bo reminded him that he wasn't alone, that he was never alone in his suffering. I implore everyone to get a friend like Sun Bo who listens and understands.
The only thing I would have liked to have is closure. We all need closure. Hao Ting needs closure and all of the viewers need closure. What I would have liked to have seen was how things played out after Xi Gu died. How did the family react? What about the twin that had feelings for Xi Gu? How did he cope? What about the cafe owner? They were extremely close. How did he react? What happened in the span of three or so years that were left blank because of the time skip. Give me that closure I need. Don't just tell me, show me. Show me how things played out and allow me to cope.
Now with the second couple. I am so happy they had a happy ending. I am happy Zhi Gang's father actually wanted him to come home. That moment put a smile on my face.
I applaud the director for going a route NO ONE expected. I guessed this ending before it happened and was hoping I was wrong, but this story was so beautifully done. With that said, please support the director, the actors, the producer and the author of these stories. They do so much and yet sometimes are bombarded with so much hate. With stories this good, one can only hope for a HIStory 4. Just don't kill anyone off in Crossing the Line 2. I beg of you.
