I am novel fans. I thought so many times before I harden myself to watch this live action adaption (I mean, I was disappointed a few times before with live action (not Chinese live action 'tho)).
The result? I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED. Thank you so much for making one of my favorite novels this beautiful live action!
As for the rumor LGBT genre... Well, although the novel this drama based on is indeed BL, the drama itself is not. Unless you have a rotten mind, like fudanshi and fujoshi (I don't mean insult. I, myslef, am a fujoshi). Why am I so sure? There aren't even any romantic hug! At most, it's a very very beautiful friendship/brotherhood.
As for the disappointed fujoshi/fudanshi... NOPE. I am not disappointed.
Plus, the plot itself is a number one selling point for this novel/drama (not the romance). Second, it's the characters.
