reviews_and_ramblings | Stay by My Side (2023)

Stay by My Side was really funny, even if dealing with ghosts, the horror aspect was more comedy than drama. The real surprise was that, at first, I didn't think the couple Gu Bu Xia and Jiang Chi would work. But I was completely wrong, they were quite sweet together, and it was also funny the interaction they had with their fellow college students. I also liked that Jiang Chi didn't reject Gu Bu Xia once he knows about their link, and instead he is supportive of him. Something that I really didn't get is Jiang Chi's estrangement from his family, and the reason why he didn't follow on their steps... but this is really a minor issue that is not removing much to my enjoyment of the story. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and Viki. Heat Level: 4/6.
