Inocente (2021)

Heartwarming and Soulwrecking

The relationship between Wu Zheng and Zheng Yu Shi / Noah is something I fell in love with immediately. They work super well together and the chemistry between the actors really upgraded my rating. The story sure is unique, as the split personality brings in what makes this series special and interesting. I’m a sucker for series that can make me cry, and this one made me bawl my eyes out. Plus 100 Points for that. The only flaw it has is that it was so short. I wish they had had a higher budget to make it longer. And the secondary couple felt kind of forced, it wasn’t really necessary as we don’t get to know those characters at all.

Special credits to the Cactus Scene in which Yu Shi tries to balance the cactus on Wu Zheng's helmet. Adorable!

Overall, great music, and great actors, so if you have around 2 hours to spare, watch it. It’s definitely worth it!
(Also I recommend watching the special episode "Not That Innocent")

Very sweet but a bit all over the place

Let's start with what I loved:

Wu Zheng is wonderful. Watching him be so gentle with Yu Shi was possibly my favorite part. I respect the fact that they chose to tackle DID and didn't make a complete mess of it (in my opinion). The acting is quite good, Wu Zheng is obviously head over heels and I really appreciate that Yi Da Dian wasn't overacting for Yu Shi. Not only that but he was very believable playing two different personalities.

Now, what wasn't so great:

First of all, the pacing is off, to the point where it's pretty jarring at times. Then, introducing a new couple out of nowhere. In the end, you're left wondering "Who is Jun Zhe?", "Who is Shang En?", and "Why should I care?" Either make a longer series with two couples who both get time to have a well developed story or keep it short with one couple. Finally, it's too short. I actually mean it's too short, not that they didn't use the time well. I think they needed at least two more episodes to come up with something that feels satisfying in the end. It's a compliment saying I wanted more, though! Now in the end, I still think it was very cute but it could have made such a bigger impact on me had we had more time to understand their relationship and understand why Wu Zheng fell for Yu Shi.

A different kind of BL

If you've watched way too much Thai BL like me, you'll find this one really different and refreshing.

I love the concept and it's beautiful to see how one can embrace the other despite the different personalities. It really shows what unconditional love can potentially look like

It's also funny each time Noah changes character, and I actually love both personalities

It's short yet enough storyline to watch, without being too dramatic or heavy.

Very well done for sth so short, I can imagine it'll be fully developed if its actually a longer series!

just amazing

The concept of this short drama touched on a topic that no other BL's (to my knowledge) have discussed and I absolutely loved it. It showcases a man who has borderline personality disorder, could also be called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) , due to a traumatic event that took place when he was 5 years old. This has caused him to have two personalities which he switches between throughout the show. One of which is called Noah, seen as the protecter of the two, he is very cold and aggressive and pretty badass if you don't mind me saying. He makes sure that no one hurts Yu Shi, the other personality, that acts like his 5 year old self due to the trauma at the time. He meets Wu Zheng who takes care of him and grows to like him. I'm not going to spoil it but I was very intruiged by how their relationship was going to work while watching the show. Yes the show has some parts where it seems choppy and confusing, however, I took this as a way to highlight the confusing nature of Noah/Yu Shi's life. There is a lot of things that Wu Zheng does not know about Noah/Yu Shi and that's probably because he doesn't even know it himself because of his trauma. So this to me seemed nothing like a flaw and actually felt more like a depiction of the thought processing of both Wu Zheng and Noah/Yu Shi, which I thought was very clever.

This show seemed very real to me, no parts where I thought this couldn't be possible, instead it made me become more educated on how someone with DID may live or have a relationship with someone. If you are thinking of watching the show this is your sign to watch it. It is within my top 5 Bl's of all time and believe me I have watched a lot.

Masterpiece? For me YES

Uf, this was something I didn't expect. Tbh i've never seen anything like this BL. It really made me think about if I would be ever capable of taking care and romantically loving a person like Yu Shi. I really admire Wu Zheng that he didn't judge Yu Shi but instead he accepted the fact that together with Yu Shi there's also Noah and that he actually took care of him for the whole time. Let's talk about it bit more:

STORY: I love it! It's original for a BL and i think for any series overall. What i didnť like was how short it was and most of the time i was confused about if the situation happend in the past or if it's happening in the present. That was really confusing for me. Also omg- like what happend to the seconf couple? How did they got together again? What was the misunderstanding between them? Nothing. I have so many questions but no answers :( Also I was wondering if it's alright for the main couple to have a sexual relationship together when Yu Shi has literally the mentality of 5 years old kid...? Idk about that, when it was Noah, it was okey but when it was Yu Shi it was little bit weird. I guess we would have to talk about this with a doctor or psychologist to know better. Other than this, I really loved the story.

ACTING: Pretty good! It's admirable how both of the main actors played their roles really believable and real, especially Yi Da Dian ( Yu Shi/Noah ).

MUSIC: I like the opening song ( the one that plays together with the intro lol ) and the music overall fits there and it's good. Idk what else to say about music becauase i don't really pay attention to music while watching something so if it does not bother me, then it's good lmao

REWATCH VALUE: I will definitely rewatch this beautiful piece someday in the future. It is now one of my fav BLs/series.

OVERALL: Outstanding BL in my opinion. It's not just some high school students who fell in love ( nothing wrong with that ofc ) like we usually see in BLs. Also, I love ITSAY and it's just masterpiece and now I can say that Innocent is right under ITSAY in my TOP list <3

That's all I think, have a good day and definitely give it a try :)))

The most different scenario among BL world

Even though it had only four episodes and the time was short around 20 minutes, but they were able to portray the purpose of the series and the necessary sequences very well, and it was strange that with only four episodes, the audience was able to connect with the characters and understand them.


it is a special and interesting scenario that made me watch the series with more enthusiasm and I admire actors specially Yu shi actor for his ability to play two different roles he really nailed it.
durubg wathing it, I waited to see which character wakes up in each sequence to confront We zheng it was really enjoyable how he became serious and skeptical from that cute and unsecure character in front of him.


The process of starting Noa's trust in Wu zheng's love was very beautiful and special.
Their acting was interesting and beautiful compared to their lack of experience since then.
It had a sad and dark vibe that made the series more beautiful
In general, it is recommended to whom want to spend his/her time watchibg beautiful and unique story 👍🏻

Ummm . . .

Ummm . . . Idk . . . How to feel about this one. They were cute . . . But like there were so many ethical and editing red flags that it’s just . . . idk what I even just watched to be honest. I am ALL about making more shows with neurodivergent characters but their relationship is . . . Questionable. The ]resolution of the show was very meh. I don’t even think I can call it a resolution? Cause I don’t remember there being any conflict? I don’t know . . . I’m just so confused with it all. I feel like it would have been better in a movie setting maybe? Idk . . . I just wouldn’t recommend I guess.

You don't need a plot for a good series

Wonderful acting, great chemistry and fluid writing. Those are the only ingredients you need. I actually appreciated less music over most of the scenes because it made the emotions and interactions feel more real and raw.

The story is as slice of life as it gets. There's no real overarching plot that starts and ends. It's a snapshot of the lives of the two main characters.

This is a sweet short series that I highly recommend. I feel like they also did an okay job representing dissociative identity disorder as well. Easily one of the above average BL series I've seen.

Biting off more than you can chew...

I really hoped this series was going to turn out good because the storyline (at least as it's summarised) is really interesting and unique for a queer series. Sadly, it didn't really hit the mark in the actual show.

The storyline was the biggest issue with me for this series: there is A LOT of ground to cover with the childhood trauma aspect, the split personalities, the romance arc, the self and family acceptance AND (to add even more to this) a secondary couple too (with their own host of issues!)! In 4, 20 (ish) minute episodes, a lot of these themes and issues get glossed over really easily or explained away in short insufficient scenes. As a viewer, I wish they had simplified a little bit just to give the series more room to breath (story telling wise). Each episode had such a jarring pace and feeling that the experience changed from watching nothing happen for 20 minutes, to watching 3 flashbacks, 2 big climactic moments and then a flashforward all in the span of 10 minutes. The overall incoherent pacing and story just made it hard to appreciate anything else about the series; I always felt I was watching the 'middle' of some longer show and I was just getting little cuts and bits and pieces. The main themes the show wanted to deliver on are so big and bulky that it needs time and attention to deliver and flesh them out well: it's one of those things where it if it's going to be done, do it well...or not at all. Otherwise, it just leaves a lot of confusion and ambiguous storytelling.

I guess that's where it being a "short" series is both helpful and hurtful: it's good it's only 4 short episodes because, at least, you aren't losing a huge chunk of time should you choose to watch it. But also, the 4 short episodes means a lot gets lost and poorly executed - leaving a very unsatisfying feeling at the end of it.

Another big nitpick was the introduction of the secondary couple (at the VERY end). I can't quite see why they were introduced only to have a few scenes and an extremely ambiguous ending. They seemed to serve very little purpose in the main themes of trauma/mental health that the series has, so, all they seemed to do was take away screen and storytime for no real reason. Not to say I didn't find them interesting: I still want to know what exactly went down between them! But the series is just too short to offer any kind of answer.

I do have to give some love to the overall 'look' of the series though! Despite some weird shaky-cam moments, the series is really beautifully staged and shot. I loved the apartments and the night-street shots, and all those beautiful scenes with the early morning light pouring out over the main couple. The camera work was well done for such a small production and it did an excellent job at complimenting and accentuating the chemistry between the two mains (which is another HUGE plus for this series!). The leads had such great chemistry together during the tender and romantic moments that it really saved a lot of this series in my eyes. The affection felt so wholesome and real that I couldn't help rooting for them! It never felt awkward or forced and even the dialogue was delivered so well that, when the moments were sweet, it was hard to not feel heartwarmed by them. If there's anything at all I'd reward this for, it'd be for the main actors.

Oh, and, the music was pretty fine too. Nothing too special or horrendous. Honestly, I didn't really notice it. The only obvious track is the ending theme which has a really...interesting sound? But, I skipped it as soon as it starts so I can't say too much about it.

Overall though, it can't hurt to check it out if you're interested but...I'd go in with low expectations. It's a pretty average title that, if you don't end up watching it, you won't miss out on much.

Soooooo goood

This series was soooooooo goood. I saw 4 episodes and am like what can be showed in 4 episodes but boy did they fool me. This series had me crying my a** of. Should it have been longer personally for me it got the point across. Glad that Noah got helped and the couple 💞 . It was really an eye opener, because it's never strangers but the people you know who ends up hurting you. This cast really had you intrigued. You actually felt what they was going through well I did. When he was at the Therapist and after when the Therapist explained what happened to him I got so Fireball angry
