More than Blue: The Series

This is one of the most beautiful masterpieces I've ever watched. I never ever cry on any series or movies, but this one shattered me. Loss is a very personal experience and grief changes everything, especially yourself. This series showed all the intricacies that happen with terminal illnesses, how brutal it is one the sufferer and their loved one.

I'm grateful for the creators and the actors for their beautifully well-done piece of work. The environment felt so gentle despite the hard hitting topic. I only recommend this if you're ready to finally face the losses and the grief you're going through yourself. If not, give it a bit of time as it's a brutal, yet gentle journey that'll force to inevitably face your own pain too.

I tried watching this series because the original film is my favorite movie, but then it turns out I love this series more! Actually this is the first ever Taiwan drama I have watched. I cried so hard and the casting are perfect for their role, I really love their acting!! They successfully wrenched my heart into pieces. I guess it will take some time to move on. I. Love. This. Series. Everything is perfect, cinematography, dialogue, casting and the most important for me is THE OST. The ost of this drama is the best.

Despite knowing what will be the end of this drama from the very start still you feel like this drama is pulling you like a magnet to watch it.

After finishing it I felt a weird kind of heaviness on my heart.

The story and execution is so perfect that you would not want to stop untill the end. The cinematography was so gentle despite the sad story. This is the beauty of Taiwanese drama. They put extra effort to palettes (they use warm colour tone which soothes your eyes), editing and long shots.o

The story is definitely about our main leads but 2 sub storylines has accompanied it and it connected so beautifully that when 1 plot changed to another plot you will start missing the previous plot.

I also loved how they used similar sets but with different angles, the way it was shot was very stunning as well.

Also you can easily differentiate between two timelines as well, as those has been edited amazingly smooth.

OST: All OSTs are pure love. All songs matched perfectly with the storylines. Songs are not any less sad than the story which makes them more soulful.

Lastly, this drama definitely deserves more viewers and praise. I hope I have able to convince you to watch this painful but beautiful piece of art.

A young female student with a tragic past suddenly shows up at a school and starts to bully a male student who is also experiencing tragedy. We later find the reason but from this initial conflict a bond grows between them. When the boy is diagnosed with leukaemia he puts all his efforts into finding a partner for his friend. Yes it is cheesy and designed to pull at your heart strings but it does a vey good job at doing that. Well acted by the cast with another tragic side story running alongside the main one, and if you do not shed a tear at least once you are emotionally dead.

Top performance from the cast, 10/10 in the acting department, allowing the audience to fully immerse in the heart-wrenching story of love, family and sacrifice.
