Very Sweet Love Story

- Genre –
Reincarnation/Romance/School/Students/BL

- Brief Synopsis –
Protagonist A and B are schoolmates with B 2 years above A. In a previous life, A and B were lovers but because of family forbidding them from being together, B kills himself in front of A and A follows suit. In the present day, every time A would see B, he would have flashbacks of that time. At night A and B would also have dreams of that time. That is because the current A and B are reincarnations of the past A and B. This is why B is immediately in love with A from the moment they meet. The story focuses on A and B getting used to being together once more and finding out just what happened in their past life. In the last episode, A remembers everything and breaks down, threatening to kill himself to punish B for his selfish act and B apologizing over and over again and promising he will never hurt him ever again. After that A tells B that he wants some space but the separation is brief as A realizes he can’t be without B. The show ends with them together again, looking forward to life after graduation and perhaps a wedding in NYC. The show is a mixture of scenes from the present and scenes from the past.

- Plot and Storyline –
This is a very interesting take on the theme of reincarnation. Personally, I feel the concept is well executed and very impactful emotionally as I found myself crying a lot while watching it. The interaction between the leads is enchanting, with each touch of the hand and every kiss evoking a sense of delight and excitement. The palpable romantic atmosphere creates a charming allure, making every subtle gesture between the characters profoundly captivating. Although the intimate scenes are pretty tame, it doesn’t disappoint me at all because everything is so well shot and contextualized.

- Character Development –
The most noticeable development is both characters finally reconciling with their past and learnt how live in the present.

- Acting -
The acting is really nice and the leads do a great job at displaying the love between the main characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the actor portraying A, finding his portrayal compelling. However, I had mixed feelings about the actor portraying B, as he had a tendency to keep a blank emotionless face that, at times, seemed to dampen the impact of A’s tears and his grief. Whether this was a result of direction or acting style remains unclear, but there was a noticeable improvement in later episodes. The crying scenes, though, were undeniably powerful; they had a genuine and heart-wrenching quality that evoked a visceral response, successfully avoiding any unintentional humor and instead deeply resonating with the audience's emotions.

- Production Quality -
Decent production quality with somewhat realistic sets and props.

- Writing and Dialogue -
Writing for the other characters can sometimes be a little cringey.

- Pacing -
Pacing is good.

- Themes and Message –
The main message is that sometimes family tragedy can occur when you refuse to accept your kid for who they are.

- Audience Appeal -
Anyone who wants a good cry will love this show.

- Standout Moments -
N/A

- Criticisms -
x B's acting can sometimes take you out of the scene. He sometimes doesn't really react to A's tears - at least, in a way obvious to the audience. He keeps a blank face a lot of the time.
x The writing outside the romance scenes can get a little awkward as characters' interactions with each other seems a little unnatural.
x Acting isn't exactly this show's strong point.

- Conclusion -
I’ve already rewatched this show numerous times as I really like A and B’s interactions. The show beautifully captures the romance in the subtleties of their relationship, showcasing how even simple gestures like holding hands can be incredibly romantic when presented in the right circumstances. For those considering watching, the true charm lies in savoring these small, meaningful moments between the characters.
