Review

Dark Blue and Moonlight is just a roller coaster ride. It shows infinity and destiny that play in a relationship. The leading character/pair you are going to either hate or love. I think this show is more realize too how the world works. It shows the what-ifs of life. I will say I like the characters Yan Fei and Ping Jun. Yan Fei notices his relationship didn’t have the love and passion that they did before, so he broke up. Ping Jun is just another story. I feel like most viewers love him because he is a likable character. The acting was average, but the kisses and sex scenes were intense then I have seen in other BL series/movies. The central theme in this if you have to let them go and if they genuinely love you, they will come back. If you end at episode 12, you will have an open ending. However, they have made 3 or 4 additional episodes that take place three years later. Would you watch it again? Mostly not because it is a languid pace at the beginning. I started to struggle with watching this.

Review

HIStory2: Boundary Crossing is realistic to the lives of teenagers where they do have to balance out the responsibilities of school, work, and sports. HIStory2: Boundary Crossing starts where you have the bad boy getting noticed by the volleyball captain and manager because of his high jump. The series begins with the funny and determined captain into convincing the bad boy into joining the team by bothering him. He later joins the volleyball team starting the main plotline. It’s a comic series to watch and talks about romance. There is a real-life moment where they talk about dating someone who is leaving high to go to college. It has its cheesy moments, but it enjoyable. There are two plots arrive in here. I would say this series is too short. I feel that if the series had additional episodes, it would have more process on both relationships and the characters. The acting is more convincing than most series I have seen. Would you watch it again? I will mostly watch it again to refresh my memories since there is going to be a sequel. I have heard a few times it going be a movie or just another season. We will have to wait and see.
