Definitely not [WHAT I EXPECTED].....

The main reason I started watching this drama is because of how well they promoted this drama, in those promotions I thought the leads have great chemistry, but that only lasted in the promotion phase(probably fan service). In the drama what I felt is that the chemistry is not up to the mark(is somewhat weak).

The story is somewhat unique though the concept is not. And it is not definitely up to the standards of a Taiwan BL. So, since I had good(not high) expectations...I did not mostly enjoy the drama. But thought it might get better at the end..So I persisted and watched the entire drama. Coming to the acting Buxia's acting is all cringy and Jiang chi's is somewhat okay. But got to admit that Buxia's acting got better in the final episodes. And I definitely like Buxia's sister character(an ideal and not so perfect elder sister LOL )!!!

The reason I did not drop this drama is because few things enlightened me about Taiwanese culture. They are - the spiritual aspects in Taiwan, also the dorm culture of Buxia and the basketball games. That's it!!!

If you are a fan of Taiwanese BL and want to watch something if you are bored..Go watch it :)

P.S. - If you are not a fan of logic-less stories then this might not be for you. I am not being harsh by saying it logic-less but this is what I felt.
