Sometimes story ideas come along that are so dumb and so mind-numbingly bad, you wonder how you sat through it without completely losing your own sense of reality. Honestly, this is one of the dumbest ideas for a plot I have seen and even adding adorably cute kids to the mix could not salvage this mess. You know you are also in trouble when throughout the series, flashbacks while the protagonists were in college 5 years previously looking the same as they do now. When a series that relies so heavily on days-gone-by without considering that they might have changed in 5 years, you know you have a weak story, and this is one of the most mediocre BLs I have ever seen.

“My Little Ghost” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)
This is such a gem that speaks softly and gently to you. I would have completely missed it except for a fortuitous lull in my day. Once I began to watch it, I could not believe what a transcendental sonnet it truly was. As it is almost always the case with Vietnamese BLs, this is another story that is filled with élan vital. ALL Vietnamese BLs have a moral to them – an end towards which they are working towards which is redemptive in nature. But here, its didactic teaching is so full of life, fun, joy, humanity, and finally attainment. Yet its road to gratification must traverse a path of unbearable sadness, internal pain, relive painful memories, and finally face personal loss. Does that sound oxymoronic?
