Forgiveness and Redemption

While technically not a BL series in the classic sense of the word (this story revolves around an older gay married couple), it is one of the best versions of what BL should be about. It is quiet, reflective, soulful and profound. It is a work of art and beauty. This is by far one of the most beautiful series I have ever seen in terms of message and storytelling. It is such a good story of redemption and a kindling of change. It is bittersweet but never melodramatic or melancholy. It is soulful and reflective and in essence life-affirming. The screenplay is brilliant. The acting is top-notch by everyone including the minor characters. . It is a beautiful human story that I think is truer to life than we might imagine. This is as close to a superb series that you can get. It is a tearjerker but never melancholic. My full review of this excellent series is at ppbongi.medium.com. Check it out.
