In the hushed corridors of Sei Wu High School, Li Xu Hai leads the archery team with quiet precision—until a confession on the field shatters his world. When he witnesses the opposing team’s captain openly declare his love for Xu Hai’s closest friend, Chen Zhen Yu, the emotional fallout ripples through their tightly-knit group. But this is no simple love triangle; as the seasons cycle through 162 rainfalls, hidden feelings, family pressures, and the weight of unspoken words force each character to confront who they truly are. Adapted from a beloved novel, this Taiwanese BL film weaves a tender, slow-burn romance against the backdrop of competitive archery and teenage vulnerability. Every arrow loosed carries a secret, and every rainstorm washes away a lie. What makes this story special is its poetic attention to the quiet moments—the lingering glances between matches, the hesitant touches in the locker room, and the courage it takes to say 'I love you' when the whole world is watching. Prepare for a heartfelt journey that proves some storms are meant to be weathered together.

I’m obsessed. The way Li Xu Hai looks at Chen Zhen Yu during practice gives me butterflies every single time. The rain scenes are pure poetry. That slow-burn confession at the end? I rewound it five times. Perfect BL romance.

Pretty but predictable. The love triangle setup is standard, and the rival team captain feels underutilized. The pacing drags in the second act, and the archery matches lack tension. Still, the main couple has okay chemistry.

Every frame is a mood board. The cinematographer bathes the rain-soaked archery range in muted blues and golds, making the characters pop beautifully. The slow-motion arrow releases are visually stunning. This is a feast for the eyes.

As a die-hard fan of the novel, I appreciate how they kept the core emotional beats and that iconic rain confession. However, they cut the side character's backstory that added depth to the main couple's conflict. Still, it's a respectful adaptation.

I was relieved to see the film handles the confession and rejection with maturity. No toxic pressure, no chasing—just genuine emotional respect. The way the archery team supports each other is a refreshing depiction of healthy masculinity in BL.
