I loved it

Apparently, I never thought that I would be saying this for this series, but this series isn't for everyone. Some people are pointing out flaws, which I guess is understandable. However, when I compare this series to some other shows that I watched this year, this series is in a higher standard than them. I mean, yeah, it's realistic and not what BL's have been giving us for years- but I still LOVED it!

Story-10/10
I honestly only saw one thing wrong with the whole storyline and it was that we weren't told the proper time frame in the last episode, so I can see why people can get confused. But I don't think I should take away marks for something that trivial. Otherwise than that, I loved this story of Vlad and Karl. I was happy when they were happy. I cried when they cried. I was glad that Karl admitted that, yes, he was gay, and also that he loved Vlad. Now, I was also actually happy that Vlad and Karl didn't end up together officially, cause Karl wasn't ready to come out and Vlad wasn't ready to go back in the closet for Karl.

The side characters were also enjoyable in this series, even Judit, who, at times, was hella annoying. I believe that they were there to guide the main characters during thier time when they were together.

Acting/Cast-10/10
All actors were good! They were given a script that they were able to portray beautifully. Yes, Palo (Karl) did start off a little rough in the beginning, but as the series progressed, his acting, for me, improved a lot as well. Vlad, hands down, was fricking awesome in this series! I do hope that he gets more roles as I do want to support him! Even the side characters were awesome in thier roles as well!

Music-10/10
The music was AWESOME!!! The songs were able to go with the scenes so beautifully and made you feel the emotions that was being portrayed in the series. Beautiful music! Loved every song!

Rewatch Valu- 10/10
I would watch this again. Why? It's a beautiful story that is being told to us. It also shows that sometimes Life is not like the movies that we watch where we wait for the happy ending. Maybe that's why I like it. Cause eventhough they aren't together as a couple, they got closure and they are friends.

Overall- 10/10
This series is truly a beautiful series. I would wholeheartedly recommend this series. However, if it is fluff and cutesy that you want- this may not be for you. If you want to watch a beautiful breathtaking series that touched real life stories and has a realistic and (for me) good ending, then give this series a go!
