This is, hands down, one of the best BL dramas I’ve ever seen. It’s not a coffee shop fanfic. It deals with ugly stuff. Type’s PTSD is not at all pretty and it takes a lot of time and care for him to change and start making amends. Tharn himself is more than a little affected, personality-wise, by what happened to him, both at 14 and then by what one of the people he trusted most kept doing behind his back, again and again, ruining his life like that in the name of “love”. But all that makes the story and the relationship between Tharn and Type so interesting and worth following from start to finish.

Also, the cinematography is excellent. And the music, wow, the music, they sure knew how to use it to hype up the tension of the more suspenseful scenes - that deep bassy thu-thu-thu-thu just hit me really deep. Just amazing.

For me, the characters of Tharn and Type, their chemistry both in dramatic and in love scenes, really stood out. Their kisses, their lovemaking was hot but also very sweet and tender. I believed that these two were in love. Another character that clicked with me was Techno. Gosh, the actor just hit all the right notes!

Overall, I think the drama is really worth the hype and I’m so glad that it turned Mew & Gulf into big stars and that it made all that Mame had to do to make the series happen worth it. Kudos to everyone involved!
