Had I Not Seen the Sun

... 10 more episodes, coming on 11th Dec'25.

There's 20 episodes, so we are halfway.

This is my first Taiwanese series, and I really like it. It starts slow, but gradually gets more intense and interesting.

Lately, IMHO, K-Dramas wènt off the rails a bit, too much cheap romance and comedy - and this show is completely different, it's immersing and engaging.

I cannot elaborate about the plot, for the risk of spoiling - but I highly recomend it, it's hard hitting subject, involving difficult issues, with a bit of fantasy mixed in.

This Taiwanese drama hits that perfect blend of soft angst and grown-up tenderness that feels like a warm sunrise after a long, cold night. The chemistry is loud, the emotional beats are louder, and the little everyday moments between the leads are written with that signature Taiwanese sincerity - the kind that makes you stop, breathe, and go "ok... this hurts, but in a good way ." What I adored most is how the series treats loneliness as something you don't just "fix," but slowly walk out of... with someone who sees you. The glances? Electric. The silences? Loaded. The confessions? Absolutely fatal in the best possible way.

By the time the story reaches its emotional peak, it feels like watching two people learn how to stand in the sun again, together. And listen - the production doesn't exaggerate; instead, it trusts the actors, and they deliver. Even the side characters feel like lived-in pieces of the world, not filler. If you love BLs with heartfelt writing, beautifully restrained passion, and that unmistakable Taiwanese soul, this one slips right under your skin. Tender, intimate, and quietly devastating - exactly my type.
