You don't need Accounting Knowledge to enjoy this show
This is a great show! Don't be put off by the fact it's based around banks and accountants, I know nothing of those things and I enjoyed this series. Also to show greed and power, most of these situations were extreme.The hero - An awesome actor wo holds his character throughout, he certainly was the right person for the role,
MDL throws in bromance as a category, not true at all. The slight romance in the story is all M/F - and it's very, very slight.
Some of it can be a bit confusing, because there are so many different characters, but if you stick with it, it will make sense.

Fluff With No Substance
The best news - it's short and you can binge watch it.These guys are awesome singers and dancers, BUT - actors - they are not!
I say this in many of my reviews, I'll say it again for this one - BL's where the guys can't kiss each other isn't a bl, it's a ripoff, and these two had no chemistry to begin with
The premise of the series isn't bad, but it isn't good either, could have had potential.
If you are like me, you give every bl a chance, just don't expect much.
Sorry, guys!

Not Good, Not Bad
When I say not good, not bad... I think that says it allWant to kill some time or... like me, I at least attempt to watch every bl I can find. There were more in 2023 that I couldn't finish than in previous years because they were so terrible. I'm not sure why, maybe because as more bl series are created, there are bound to be both good and bad.
Anyway back to this series. Everything was just ok. I think the acting was just ok, not great, same for the storyline.
There was no real plot, no danger, no real romance, no sex (darn it...lol).
Mediocre! The best way to describe it. No rewatch value. Best news.. it's short. You can binge watch it.

Everything a BL should be
This one heads the top of my list for 2023 - As a side note, there have been many disappointing bl's this year.These actors were awesome together - the chemistry was off the charts, their expressions were so emotional you could feel the love, the pane, the happiness.
The rest of the actors/actresses were also awesome.
The story line is very different from other bl's, and it is a really good story. I don't know who wrote this story but I hope they write more bl stories.
There were no side stories to interrupt the flow, no super annoying characters screeching & screaming. Although it is not a complicated plot, it is an interesting one.
The music was a bit unusual, but it fit and I liked it
The passionate scenes tastefully done, and I so appreciate a bl where the kisses make you feel like these two guys were in love, honestly they should give other bl actors some lessons.
The pacing was also perfect, nothing rushed, nothing boring.
I would love to see these two together again.

Better than I expected
I definitely would recommend this to anyone who enjoys BL.The story line is extremely well done and all of the actors did a fantastic job.
While I enjoy some of the school bl's, my taste runs more to the stories that are not school related, this being one of those.
While this show won't make my top five, it will make my top ten. However, the rewatch value might be low as I don't think I will watch this again for a long time.
It's a good show, don't get me wrong, but it's not a heavy drama and I prefer those, although there are not many out there.
My biggest complaint is the "touch your lips" kisses. While the story line and actors are quite good, I just don't get the same feel when a couple is supposed to be in love, but there is only a "comfortable and sentimental" type of feeling from them. Couples falling in love is when passion typically comes into play the most. This show is more like a bromance.
Also, although hurt feelings and tears are good, without a touch of anger in some of the scenes, something is a bit lacking, I think.
The landscape is beautiful, as is the OST, Overall, I think this show does deserve a 9 rating.

Sweet.. but too short
I don't really have anything to add from other reviews.The main characters all did a good job with what they had to work with. What I really don't understand is the view that wtchrs want these short shows. There is so much they could have done with this, but they turned it into just a sweet, short story with only a little emotion. Nothing is explained, kisses are sweet, but there is no passion, too many blank looks and a lack of a really solid storyline.
Maybe it's true that many manga's do not make the best stories for series, or whoever is making them into series isn't really concerned with what the viewers want, or maybe they just don't have the budget, who knows.
I am not the only one who longs for more bl's.... but they need to be as high a quality as other dramas. And this one is not.
I hope things pick up for 2023 or I may have to give up on bl forever.

Okay For A Rainy Day!
It's Just Okay....One Happy, Positive Person Who Lights Up The Sky With His Smile
One Dark, Brooking, Selfish Guy Who Darkens the Sky and Everyone Around Him
One Shy, Naive, Crybaby Who Needs Someone to Look After Him
A plot that is subpar; music that is just ok
A romance that feels rushed - with no heat
It's not a hot mess like some 2022 bl's though, I guess that's something, but I prefer bl's with more going on, like suspense or action or yelling & jealousy or something that moves the story along at a fast pace.
It works, sort of. But it is lacking something, maybe some humor or action or real emotion, I don't really know.
I'm not sorry I watched it, but I couldn't sit through it again

There is nothing important to know
Ah Well! I watched to the end because I was bored and have watched every bl and the good ones more than once. I am not really sure how some of these make it into production. This one should not have. The storyline was overly simple. The actors and actresses were so, so. Of course, in something this simple maybe even an experienced actor would have difficulty acting. But I don't think these guys were cut out for bl.I hate it when I get the feeling someone is just out to make a buck off the bl industry. I don't recommend this and I am certain I won't ever rewatch it, even if I am bored to tears.

A Cute Little Series
I really liked how they tied the two series together with the couples. I liked how the first series showed the accidental moment between Kufah and Prince, then didn't bring it up util almost the end of this series.Prince and Dao were super cute, and the couples seemed to be very similar, even with some differences. The chemistry between the actors and characters was really awesome, especially in this series where the kisses were more natural.
This series seemed to drag a little in the middle though. I also really liked the special episode that had all four of them together.
The production was nice, the music was not memorable, but the acting made up for the short comings.
I probably will rewatch this series again someday, when I have had time to forget the story. Just a comfortable watch, don't expect too much.

Defintely grabs and holds your attention.
Okay, so this series seems to get good or bad reviews. I liked it. Not that it is entirely realistic, but still there is plenty happening to keep oneself on an emotional rollercoaster. I think all of the actors and actresses did an outstanding job, their performance is really over the top. Even the side characters were amazing.While I could nitpick some of the storyline, I won't because instead of comparing it to real life, I just watched and enjoyed. And the ending for everyone was just perfect, which also makes for a good series. The chemistry between the two main leads was so amazing, they were able to say so much just by looking at each other.
I will rewatch this someday, not soon, but someday.

13 Episodes of what?
This series is very confusing and seems to be all over the place. The ghost aspect is not too realistic. The story line seems to be all over the place, or maybe it's just the subtitles. It's pretty long and not much happens. I really couldn't tell if this was supposed to have a serious or humorous tone. The acting isn't very good either. Honestly the shows one redeeming quality is the bl make out scenes which are better than most bl's, even though the depth of the boys feeling for eah other is missing from other scenes.I don't really think I will ever rewatch this series.

A series about relationships
WOW... a lot of drama, you know the kind where everyone is having difficulties in their relationships, some are cheating, some are betraying, some are just not sure if they are with the right person. It's very interesting and well done, there are a lot of characters that you are rooting for and some you are not. Some do things so bad that you get angry. The ending is one where you probably will be happy about some of them and not happy about others, meaning you may leave this show with mixed feelings. I sure did. It is too bad that there was never a season 3. It is a high quality production.I probably won't rewatch this series. Considering it was all about people's relationships the kiss scenes were short and bland.

It's Just OK
Just an ok series.A little cute, a lot of nonsense, a good basic premise of 1) a sister who does not approve of gay relationships and 2) a brother who is in love with a guy but keeps asking for time because of his sister, the one he is in love with is insecure and troubled.
Although the premise is good, the show is all fluff, not delving into the complexities in a real world sense.
Still, with a little fast forward here and there, I watched it all - there were some good moments. Just don't expect too much from the story line or the acting. It's a typical school themed, light romance with no real substance.
Rewatch value is zero

A Warm Feeling Story
While this series was short and sweet (mostly), I enjoyed watching it.The storyline was a bit different, the actors had great chemistry, the tears were emotional, as was the struggle to find out the one you were looking for was also a male. I also enjoyed the songs.
This was not a heavy hitting drama, no disapproving parents, no jealous girlfriend, no fighting, in other words it's not a passionate drama love story, but it conveys what it is intended to convey. So if you are looking for a short series with just a simple, but good storyline, you will enjoy this; as I did.
I am sure I will watch this again someday, but not real soon.

Disappointing - Wasted a Lot of Time
There are so many better bl series out there that are too short and leave you wanting more.. this series was too long since not a lot really happened.The main couple had good chemistry - but it wasn't explored nearly enough - and the ending was a huge disappointment. In fact, the ending of the only two couples who were interesting did not make any sense at all.
There were definitely too many couples, as stated in almost every review. 5 couples and not a lot of screen time, coupled with slow moments throughout! And the acting was so-so for most of the actors. Since only one couple was a rea life bl couple, they were the only ones who had any real kisses.
I can't say I totally hated the series, there were some touching scenes, just overall don't expect too much and don't set high expectations for the ending
