A Simple and Heartwarming Youth BL
This is another high school music romance, but with a three way love story that keeps things interesting. The series stays simple and light without trying too hard to be overly dramatic. All three main actors are young and fit their characters well. Jun Jia’s love at first sight for Yan Kai was especially cute to watch, and their interactions had a soft charm to them.
One thing I really enjoyed was the music aspect. The performances felt natural because the actors can actually sing and play instruments, which made the band scenes much more believable and enjoyable. The music videos and soundtrack also added a nice emotional touch to the series.
So far, the acting could still improve because some scenes feel predictable and slightly awkward at times. The story is also fairly straightforward, so it will not surprise viewers looking for something deep or intense. Still, the youthful energy and sweet atmosphere make it a relaxing watch.
Unfortunately, as the series has gone on, my opinion has started to change. I’m not trying to be negative, but my rating keeps dropping every week. Half of Episode 7 was made up of flashbacks, and I honestly don’t understand why a 25 minute episode needed so many. Instead of moving the story forward, it felt like the pacing came to a complete stop.
At this point, I’m mostly continuing because there’s nothing else airing on Wednesdays that I’m interested in. There haven’t been many Taiwanese BLs this year, which makes this series even more disappointing because I was really looking forward to it. I’m still hoping it improves since we’re already more than halfway through, but unless the second half becomes much stronger, I don’t think it will live up to its potential.
Right now, I can no longer give it the 8/10 I originally had in mind. I’m hoping the remaining episodes change my opinion, but so far it has been a frustrating watch despite its strong cast, enjoyable music, and promising premise.
