Under the surface, there is a good and believable story

I can't decide if I like this. I liked the acting of the opera actor, but the other one tired me. So, I couldn't really forget myself in the story and enjoy it. If the actors act like they themselves are the center of the show and the role is not important to them, it gets tiring. Also, there are tons of clichés, lots of unoriginal tropes and lots of predictable subplots.

The premise is good and it has some good sub-plots, but there are a lot of slow scenes and episodes full of repeatable content and a lot of careful walking around the issue. There is strong BL element, although not explicit. However, this is just part of the story. If teh writers didn't try to much to avoid censorship and paid attention to the rest of the plot, it would have been a good plot.

To be honest, I speed-clicked a lot through thte episodes.
