I have to say that it is a touching show. There is some humour in it too. But it is so omg LOL. Overall I think the show is really nice. Come on, how often do you hear zhaoyan say a show is really nice? :/
Well even though the story focuses on gay romance, but I think that story is actually trying to tell us more about general love itself - family love, friendship love, love for each other.
Okay the story goes like this, two boys(Dong and Mew) who are neighbours are childhood best friends. However, Dong's sister went missing which affected his family. Because of this, Dong's family moved away. Then six years later, they came back and it is shown that Dong's father is a heavy drinker and Dong's mother has to take care of the family and also earn money. Also, the film shows that Dong's mother tend to control him because of the pain and love of losing her daughter. After a while, Dong and Mew meet up after 6 years and slowly found out that they have feelings for each other. And also at the same time, Dong meets a girl who happened to look like his long lost sister.
I won't tell you anymore, go and watch the show yourself ^^ (by the way I liked the songs in the show)
So in the show, there are many love triangles like A like B, B like A but C likes B and D likes A. Also it shows many elements of human life. It shows the struggles of family, friendship and love.
Many really good questions are also asked in the show.
If we can love someone so much, how will we be able to handle it one day when we are separated? And if being separated is a part of life, and you know that separation is inevitable, is it possible that we can love someone and never be afraid of losing them? Is it possible that we can live our entire life without loving anyone at all?
Honestly I have no idea how to answer it. So you can go and think about it.
Also, the show also have some meaningful quotes like
"Even if we made mistakes along the way, it's better than never having tried to love and be loved"
"Life always gives us the opportunity to start over after we learn from our mistakes."
And I have to say that I totally agree with them and it really taught me quite a bit.
However, there was one quote which really hit me.
"As long as there is love, there is hope"
Our world is full of fear, hatred and money. There are no lovers nowadays, only players. What was taught about love was forgotten.
Someone once told me that our world was so different long time ago. She said that she would often go to this mama shop and secretly take some sweets when the owner wasn't looking. And they never got caught. I think that the store owner knew, but he just let them take the sweets. So why did he let them take the sweets? Well to be honest, I don't know the answer. But I think it is because of his love for people. He probably thought that they were just kids and let them take it so they could be happy. People and their love for one another was what brought them happiness.
Nowadays, it's all about money.. Whatever happened to the old days? We were all so happy then.
Well after reading this, you should probably understand what I'm trying to say. What we need in this world is more love. Love your family, love your friends, love your enemies because with love, happiness follows and the world will become a much better place.
As long as there is love, there is hope.
