Really good, deep series with meaning, showed Torn in wrong light
Okay, so I don't really write reviews but I think this one needs it. First of all I enjoyed this series very much, it's very high quality and is overall beautiful. The side stories were fine, not as interesting to me, but it's okay since it kept the feeling of tension what's going to happen in the main plot, so I'm not going to talk about them much.
What suprised me was that they actually took care of the problem, that Torn was terribly mistreated. Well, maybe it didn't end in the way it should but I think the right way would make people hate Torn and be really mad that they didn't end up together. But I'm suprised they didn't just ignore the fact that Torn always made what others wanted him to do. We see it since the begining, where Fah actually FORGOT about his best friend just because he wasn't his partner anymore. There were many moments like that and Torn was never mad (most like for 5 minutes), he was calm, supporting, Meanwhile Fah didn't really see his mistakes, kind of anegoist.
So when the moment came, where Torn finally decided to do what he wanted I was so happy for him! Fah was just a toxic. I'm not suprised that Torn was so angry... MAN I would be angry already since the begining, because Fah was just so horrible. AND everyone was treating him like he was in his wrongs. DUDE, this series made him look like he was doing something bad when in reality he made a smart decision. I'm kinda angry about how they didn't explain to others why actally Torn had many reasons to hate them and just made Torn apologize (even tho no one ever apologized to him lol and he was the one that needed it the most). They kept silent about the case (I mean Torn didn't say anything about it), that Torn was mistreated ny Fah, but it's something we can read from his actions and see for ourselfs. It wasn't really something said out loud. I think it added some fine self reflection to the series.
I think they kinda made Torn the villain at the end and didn't point it out that he was just too good for Fah AND WASN'T WRONG FOR GETTING MAD LIKE CRAZY. But I know that if it wasn't done Torn's anger would never end and the show would just end with not really a perfect ending, that everyone always want. So I understand. We see that coach Tuan wasn't really that bad of a person either. I mean, he had his controversial ways, but he helped Torn get better. I suppose if Torn said to Fah all the things he did to him, Fah would't understand and it would broke their relationship. Since Torn loved Fah very deeply he never said anything and I must say it almost made me cry.
In conclusion, this series made me feel A LOT. And I'm not mad about it. It's great because of it's depth and quiet problems we face that destroy us inside slowly. Some people are mad about the time-skip but I think it was needed. Torn needed it to finally stand up for himself.
Shortly about the side stories. I liked that Vee was RESONABLE person and didn't give in to his desires. Respect, man.
The story about Aii and Saen was just boring. I mean it was sweet but kinda shallow? It definitely lacked something... well I didn't mind it since I was too emotional about the main plot.
I recommend this series, however for emotional people it will be hard experience (like for me) but its definitely worth it.
