Underrated Masterpiece
I wasn't even going to watch this because 37 episodes of just "bromance" and "censorship" didn't sit right in my head...But Oh Boy! oh was i wrong and about to miss out on a masterpiece.Just the aesthetic of the outfits, set, décorations, houses...and tools used to present that era of time...Goddaaaamn
I can spend a whole hour talking about how well done and accurate the representation was, each outfit and location would spun me.
(Spoilers ahead)
As for the story, it starts out very strong, the first episode took me so long to follow up with events because too much happening at once, almost all main characters are being introduced and the first piece of the puzzle is being laid down...fast forward few episodes, you start to appreciate the dynamic between the two leads, understanding their goals and loving their cooperations and that lasts throughout the whole series.
It's more than a bromance, you can sens the soul mate vibes between them, each one is the other's lifeline.
The story is amazing, the plot line is something new and never seen before.
Also It is not a very happy, cheery and joyful type of series so do not expect to be laughing all time but the few funny moments there is, they're impeccable.
I hated the ending, not gonna lie, i was heartbroken more than once over the loss of so many great characters but i was ok with it...but the ending just F***ed me up man.
I know there's an alternative ending, so i very much encouage everyone to check it out.
I highly recomand this series, totally worth the emotions and time.

Such a good story and such a lovely couple
It's a short, sweet and unique type of story for a BL, i highly reccomend.What can i say about this, other than the fact that taiwanese BL never disappoint...and this one is no different
I always prioritise Taiwanese BL series because i know there's gonna be a new concept, great chemistry between the leads/side couples and a plot that'll live up to everyone's expectations.
Now what i also love particuraly about this series, is the fact they gave each character a background story in a settle way yet made it all connect towards the end...
The pace is little slow, but nothing bad, the scenes and scenery are beautiful and captivating.

You have to watch it yourself in order to value it
When i read the reviews i almost dropped it without even giving it a try...but boy was i wrong.I can understand some of points discussed in the reviews and i can totally agree that the production took themselves a lil bit too seriously with the plot, i can also relate to the let down from watching the trailer, i was given the impression that this will be a mature type of relationship but AGAIN it's a teenage love drama.
But i can also say, i very muched enjoyed watching it, the chemistry between the leads is amazing, the second couple also is very cute, the soundtrack and locations on this was one of my favourites.
Now the donwside of this : the plot got too many holes, the fact that two teenagers can take over a mafia is kindaaa lame and overdone, too much blood shed for nothing, they could have stopped at the death of one parent, there was a lack of facial expressions when it came to sadness/anger, the character chopper needs some justice and also the lack of scars from all the battles and bullets not to forget the stupid ads ....
It's fun to watch and relax to, just do not expect something major and just because it's mafia related doesn't mean you need to compare it to kinnposrche.

So cute, you'll become addicted
First of all, even if it's a school based BL which we seen so many of, this one has the IT factor, that lil something extra that makes it stand out from the rest.I can fully understand and back up all these positive reviews.
The chemistry between the lead couple is so obvious, they don't have a single moment of cringe between them, everytime you see their interactions, you'll find yourself biting your pillow from the level of cuteness.
The cast and story, were wisely chosen and well executed, i did not skip at all throughout the whole 12 episodes.
My only issue is i'm not fan of musical series, although this is a light one, the repetition of the same songs over and over, just didn't sit well with me, hense the 9.5 rating.
Totally recommend watching this one.

The fluffiest and lightest story ever
I loved this series so much, since episode one till the last second.The main couple have such a great chemistry, they get a hold on you, the gang is such a goofy one, you find yourself wanting to be part of it and the plot doesn't get boring nor does it drag on many episodes.
There's so much positive energy, new ideas and creativity combined with excellent acting skills , the music and outfits...all perfectly executed.
I highly recommend watching it, if one wants to feel fluffy and have a good laugh.

A beautiful representation of life, the good and the bad...
I was not expecting this movie to slap this hard, i was taken in since the first scene.It depicts the struggle, the pain and the need to understand one's emotions, in a way that makes you engaged with each dialogue, questioning how life can be this unfair while all you're asking is for your love to be acknowledged and respected...
The lead actors, made every scene come to life, each and every emotion was shown through their eyes, expressions and actions...
It hurts watching this movie but in a beautiful way.
I highly recommend watching it.

Cute but basically typical K drama story with a BL couple
Personally i avoid K dramas because of all the light in them...literally each character looks like it has a halo above it also the story is not something we haven't seen before million times already.Now what made me watch it fully, is some well done scenes between the leading couple, showing their chemistry and flirtatious side.
Also we're finally getting more watch time per episode, we can see how the relationship develops and get more background stories.
Overall, it's a cute Drama to watch.

Simple, cute and fluffyy
That's honestly it, Simple, cute and fluffyYou have your basic K Drama love triangle plot twist, that isn't so intense or apparent in this series since the episodes are so short, very bright and shiny, almost like everyone is wearing a halo (typical k production), you can't get many details or characters backgrounds in so much but the overall imagine is well presented whithin the viewing time.
What you have on title is exactly what you get, in terms of general idea haha nothing complicated
Do recemend watching if you have about 2 hours or so of free time, great way to boost your serotonin.

Simple, sweet and short ... as all korean BLs
It's a lightweight BL series, very simple, very cute, easy to understand and follow up with, not much of complications or dramatic scenes.I watched it in one evening because Korean BLs are always short and i hate that about them, they do not give you time to get invested in the story or developp any sort of attachement to the characters, before you know it..tada it's Over.
I gave the story a 9, because the idea was sorta kindaa different and original
But i didn't give the series an 8, because again the white washing of the skin of these characters literally burns my eyes, they're glowing, you have a feeling like you're watching angels not human beings and that takes away my ability to relate to them.

A light weight cute drama
This is a very quick, sweet and light drama to watch , if you have an evening and you want something to cheer up with.Nothing in the story is too deep or in need of explaining, it's pretty straighforward/simple, filled with cute moments and interesting topics.
The lead actors are very adorable and work very well together.
I got nothing bad to say about this, i thought it was sufficent with how the plot developped and ended, there was no unecessary drama or action.
The simplicity of it made it worth the watching

It's a short yet cute one...so much potentiel yet so little timing
Gotta start with the actors are all cute and engaged in their roles, the Chemistry between the lead couple is very apparent and sweet ...However, The main plot is there yet not really exploited to full potentiel, feels like there was so much to process in a very little time:
- Would've loved if they developped the background stories more, giving each character more soul and presence.
Buuuuut, it is what it is and this the best they could do.
I think the show it totally worth watching and leaves you with a cute tingly sensation.

Weak execution yet fire chemistry
It started out really strong, the story was interesting and the actors were captivating.But then...there was too many events all happening at once and none of them fully developped.
What annoyed me the most in the first half is the fact :
- There are more conversation between the side/leads characters rather than the leads.
- They didn't give much context or depth to their relationship minus "the two big events"
On the second half they worked on these points but forgot the plot...
In conclusion and it's my own personal opinion : I really enjoyed watching this series in a one shot that way i had more context and didn't give up on it, the actors did an amazing job and would truly want to see them in another series, it was worth watching.

I couldn't push through and finish it...
My personal opinion, not encouraging anyone else to drop it.I tried to watch this show twice...i can't even get past the first 3 episodes without skipping bunch of times.
All i can say is they have very Handsome actors, great location, beautiful quality of filming...yet horrible plot and just over all confusing storyline.
The characters don't really help you fall in love with them to keep on wanting to watch.
I truly hope to see this cast in another series with a better story and production.

Don't base your watch value from the comments...
I always check the reviews to know if i should watch the drama or drop it, mainly i find the majority having the same opinion.But this one is a bit contrevesial yet in a good sense.
I can totally see where this couple may appear toxic and promoting an unhealthy relationship in the first episodes but once you continue watching you realise that this not the case...it's actually a very sweet couple with awful communication skills and unaddressed insecurities that manifested in so many ways unabling them from seeing the truth about their feelings ...
I loved it, the actors did an amazing job and the chemistry between the lead couple is just awesome.
