You will cry

This series is impossible to explain in just a few paragraph so I will only explain how this is one of the best BL's I have ever watched.
It is a very intricate and heavy series that has many layers to it. While the premise of a Teddy bear coming to life may seem simplistic or stupid it actually makes the story work and move forward. You will see depisctions of trauma, mental illness, homophobia, loss of a family member in two different but complementary stories as well as a harsh critique on the BL industry itself. Yes, it has elements of whim and fantasy but it is still one of the most real and tough series to watch.
The main character is Tofu, the Teddy bear that has been watching his owner cry alone in his room for years. The stuffed animal is suddenly turned into a human due to a miracle, and will have to learn the complexity of human emotions and relationships while he tries to figure out the reason why he has come alive.
The acting is sublime and the emotions it draws out of you are as real as they get.

I gave it a low rewatch value because it's something very heavy and somewhat tiring to watch and the subjects it touches are very sensitive and may trigger some people as well as each episode consisting of an hour and a half.
This BL focuses on the reality of homosexuality in adolescence as well as in the BL industry that tries to portray them differently just to please an audience. It also speaks of child abuse and how a parent and a kid might have suffered the same situation differently.

I cried my eyes out, this gave us different love stories, different types of love, grief and overcoming fear. This show is about the complexity and intricacy of the human soul and it ripped my heart into pieces. Watch it. It's sublime.
