180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us Fan Review
The series is more than just two lovers being separated by the third person. The series is more complicated with the two love interests’ age gap and the complications it brings to Wang and his mother’s relationship. This BL series has definitely raised the bar of expectations higher.
From cinematography to the actors’ skills to bring the emotions out so realistically. There is so much potential in this series. The fans seem to love everything about the series except the fact that it is “too short”. With only 8 episodes and this much intensity of the plot, it is definitely disappointing. The chemistry between the characters Wang and In is already blooming, and they have just met.
With Sasiwimol’s storyline, her character is going through the most, but is it really justified to be so involved in her son’s life? The series has raised questions like this that might get you thinking. The huge age gap between the love birds has raised many eyebrows. Some fans believe that falling in love with your mother’s friend is too much, while some believe that since they are both adults, it is justified. Now we can only wait and see if Wang and In get their happy ending and if Sasiwimol learns to accept them.
