Overcoming Difficulties

Each short episode packs a lot of story and some parts may seem out of sequence, the consist flipping between the past and the present, you get a feel for the story and where its heading. I for one don't get anyone giving this high reviews - like yeah to each their own... but this plot had promise, but it didn't really develop to anything, and i felt that the actors also fell short, first off Li Xiang just comes off as a stalker, he latches onto Xia Zhi the sec he sees him and just turns into his shadow but he is too forceful and I also find that he seems to have had a pattern considering he did the same thing with PE Teacher as well. Also when he was brought to a gay bar, he is more worried if its age appropriate not even noticing that its only guys and what that means - so it felt like Li Xiang was manipulating the situation and Xia Zhi.

Also the kid that was being bullied and his side story - there was more there that held my interest and heart, then with what was going on with the leads - but everything was kinda rushed and wrapped up in the last episode - just cause it was the last episode and we needed a happy ending. it lacked logic or common sense and left me wondering WTF... this doesn't come close to being a good BL.

Overall: I wouldn't recommend this at all
