Two broken souls can heal each other

'Eclipse' is one of those BL's that warm up to you. It gets you, and becomes somehow a comfort show. Akk and Ayan are the total opposites , that attract each other. They are both broken souls that fell in love, and helped to heal each other. I'm not saying they completely healed, but they started that healing journey together. That is a beautiful message.

As much as I loved both of their character developmens through the drama, I loved Akk's more. It was beautiful to see how much growth and inner acceptance he confronted. He had issues, like confroting himself about being gay, that he finally accepted. It was very nice touch, since it's not portrayed often. It's very difficult and hard to accept, and not easy for everyone. It felt more realistic, that he wa struggling - also the way Aya was patient and waited for him. He didn't force him into anything, which was simply amazing.

The side characters weren't as strong, and reason I am not giving the drama full 10. I did however enjoy Chadok's character and the plot twist, that made me like him. However, it was also weird and very disappointing for me how they dealed with Thua at the end. Neither of them didn't get punished, I get why Akk did not, but Thua ?! He literally destroyed school property and set that fire! Not to mention the stress and trauma his actions also caused for the protestors. For me he definitely should have been severely punished for what he did for the group of students!! And at the end all he did was a short apology, that didn't even feel sincere to me? So no, I didn't like how he got his happy ending with Kan and everyone was so okay with it, like he had just made some silly pranks.

Overall, I did enjoy Eclipse. It has a great story and message. I do wish it touched the homophobia topic more, there was potential for it to be more plotline. But it's a great drama.
