To be honest there hardly anything left to say how this drama is one of the best series that been on the market in years.
The story is stunning, complex masterpiece, writing obviously by people who have a full understanding of how young people think and act. Just want to emphasis screenwriter as dialogues are captivating. There a lot of actions and talking there.
Acting is top level.
This story could not have BL at all and still would be one of the best dramas I watched. BL is just moving it to another level adding another layer of complexity. It is obviously different to usual BL dramas where BL is the main focus, here BL is just part of the complex story.
All characters there are written with backstory, all of them a complex thinkers/creators, striving to accomplish something, only strong cast could support it. This drama enhance all your senses with powerful messages via action, painting, dancing and thinking. Nothing there is extra or fillers, you cannot skip it, you need to watch full on repeat. Extremely powerful messages of freedom and right to express your opinion, of recovering through art, of equity, of trying to find your way and more.
I still surprised that this series is not highest ranking. I watched a lot of BL and dramas and this one of the most impressive dramas that I watched in years.
