but here we are. I have a real talent for picking BL's, blindly, that has a main character die in the last episode!

The acting is good and the actors are handsome! The plot gets a 7.5 since the ending is sad. Like most K-BL's it suffers from one thing: too much plot and not enough screen time. I'm not sure where this issue originates, but it's so common I don't put all of the blame on the show if they do a good job with what they're given. By all accounts I think this show succeeded given the time allotment.

However, since this ending is sad I'm GLAD I didn't get more time to get attached to the characters since I hate a sad or unclear ending. ?

I think it's worth watching once. Not the worst thing I've ever watched by far. It was something different and interesting!
