So many poor choices they deserve extintion

The idea behind the series is good: the world is about to end, and in this dramatic background two students are facing a journey that will lead them to knowing - and loving - themselves and each other.

Unfortunately, however, the plot is poorly written, so slow and full of poor choices it makes you root for the Moon. So, you're running away from the place where your friend was shot. You know the bad guys are chasing you. You're out of gasoline. Your brother, who almost got killed in a previous scene and who drove all night long to save your life, is now longing for a little rest. You offer to go search for some gas while he takes a nap, but he says you only have 30 minutes: you promise you'll be back in 30 minutes with all the gas you need. Next scene is you and your boyfriend in the fields, looking at the moon and singing a cappella (out of tune, of course), as if gasoline grew on cherry trees. Until you fall into a corpse and decide you'd better be back - empty handed, of course. And that's only one example. They both look so stupid they deserve extinction... :-) And it's a pity, because of all the unexpressed potential the idea had.

Apart from the plot, recitation is generally bad; the only really good character is Gus, and Sis Mam is not so bad after all.

I doubt I will ever watch it again, and I'm not recommending it to my friends.

One of the best BL series I've seen so far

This has been the first live action BL drama I ever saw, and I really got in love with it.

The plot is original and well written; some of the actors are not so good, but the main roles are strong and well played. The characters are well defined and have an interesting evolution over time. Oh, and Tofu is really extremely "kawaii"! <3
The plot twists are often unexpected, yet they still make sense. For example, I didn't like the ending, but I understand the reason why it was written that way, so I'm ok with it after all; and the series was overall touching and fun to watch, so I'd recommend it and I think I may as well rewatch it sooner or later, maybe with my loved one!
