The platonic ideal of fantasy-tinged rom com
They get every single aspect right.Cast flawlessly, beautifully executed both on screen and behind the camera, and packed with moments of beauty and heartbreak and growth and friendship and heart pounding romance. If you watch no other dramas, watch this.
I would die for Fujisaki. Kurosawa's huge fragile heart destroys me. Adachi slowly waking up to the world is the very definition of hope. Seriously, this is the one. Look no further.

Women? In my BL? It's more likely than you think
The family dynamics are the making of this. Tai and Thian being so attached and facing similar personal issues gave us really lovely contrasts in their characters and growth. Tai's parents demonstrating their way of being soulmates, and how being both forever linked by fate but also deserving of a life that isn't solely tied to that aspect of their lives, was so beautiful and important.The friendship dynamics are properly considered as well, which is a much better way to make space for character growth. Each lead had meaningful connections with other people and love in their life that wasn't just romantic love. Including women! I'd love a Nara and Dream spinoff.
And, possibly controversially, I really liked Lomfon. He was young, and lonely, and had no idea what to do with big feelings and philosophical questions, which is kind of what your early 20s are about. So hoping for a second season to follow Lom and Thian.
