I remember watching many Chinese dramas you'll see there are parts were things don't make any sense literally, you wouldn't get where things came from. Not saying that this drama doesn't have any flaws it does but the excellence bypassed the little flaws make it irrelevant. When you first get into it, if you read the book you'll totally get what's happening and maybe even cry because it totally enhanced the scene the scene in a better way that was written in the book but! If you didn't read it, thing is that you heard about it from somewhere or someone recommended it you won't get anything but trust me stick around for at least 10 episodes and you'll get everything that's gonna make sense to you slowly. Since the book divides and fragments the story into past and future and the time gap being 16 years the first half focuses on the past then present. The leads were really well choosen as they both express what they feel through their eyes so perfectly and despite boy love facing censorship in China this ain't a click air, quuerbait or whatever you call it bait, its not shown but totally intended as to these 2 are soulmates and made for each other While watching you'll never know how hard you'll have fallen for that guy with the smiling face and the guy with a neutral face but already makes your heart hurt for him. It was an experience for me because this was my first time watching a Boy Love story so much so that I started reading the novel too. See when you read the novel you totally get what actually happened in the book versus the hidden meaning in the live action as they can't show it they sure as hell heavily intend it, beautiful I must say. Best experience ever. Highly recommended.
