So, this series completely swept me off my feet. It really impressed me, because I was used to boy loves not having the best quality or pretty shots at all. This series was very visually stunning, and the use of color to represent Teh, Ohaew, and the girl character (can't recall her name atm) was really cool. It feels like every time I've rewatched I've been able to catch onto more symbolism or things I didn't catch the first time I was around. The characters and the storyline felt very REAL which I appreciated. Watching through Teh's eyes gave a lot of frustration towards him but I couldn't dislike him, because I understand why he was acting like that. The confliction between his growing feelings and realization of his sexuality, versus his fears of coming out and not being considered "normal" in the eyes of those around him was portrayed very well. It also goes to show when we are coming to terms with ourselves and having our own self discovery that we can oftentimes be destructive and hurt those around us. It also showed us hints of the opposite side of the spectrum, someone like Ohaew who wanted to be out AND loved openly. This series is just so beautiful, but is pretty angst heavy.
