Every gain comes with a loss
This review will be different from my other reviews as I won’t include a plot summary. Here’s the reason: Usually, my readers have watched the series I’m reviewing. “Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars“ (WUTSS), however, has remained below the radar of some BL fans, due to the large number of series airing at the same time. If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend you to do so, and it will take you on an exciting journey into the unknown and the unexpected, which will be all the more fun if I don’t spoil the details and twists of the story.
The story starts with Xiang Yong (Jed Chung) returning to his hometown on the small remote island of Xingpu, where he is a local hero as he has the reputation of being a successful artist on the rise to international fame. Xiang Yong, however, has been fired by the Taipei company where he illustrated mangas. He actually is in debt, which he tries to keep a secret, but it is accidentally revealed to all the villagers at his welcome party.
Embarrassed and frustrated, he escapes to his favorite spot at the sea with his best friend Li Wan Zhe (JN Yu), and after throwing a stone, a tiny piece of a meteorite (“shooting star“) to be more precise, into the sea, Xiang Yong wishes he couldn’t be seen any more, while Li Wan Zhe wishes for a short fleeting romance.
The next morning, Xiang Yong’s father Old He (Lee Lee Zen), the owner of a small, quite run down guesthouse, doesn’t recognise his son, who calls himself Xiao You after realizing that his wish has come true. He is flabbergasted when he meets Chen Hao Wei (Chu Meng Hsuan), his high school crush, who has come to Xingpu to find Xiang Yong, whom he still loves. The friends didn’t met even once after they had a fierce argument.
There are only three persons who still do recognize Xiang Yong – Li Wan Zhe, Xi Xi (Aiko Fang), whose mangas he used to illustrate, and a mysterious young man named Brother Hong (Andy Wu), who appears to know a lo...
