A Simple and Heartwarming Youth BL with a disappointing plot
This is another high school music romance, but with a three-way love story that initially 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 that made the early episodes enjoyable.
One of the strongest aspects of the series is its music. The performances feel natural because the actors can actually sing and play instruments, making the band scenes far more believable. The soundtrack and music videos also add an emotional layer that helps elevate several moments.
The acting, however, could have been stronger. Some scenes feel awkward, and the dialogue can come across as stiff or predictable. The story itself is also very straightforward, offering few surprises for viewers looking for something more emotionally engaging.
Unfortunately, my opinion continued to decline as the series went on. Half of Episode 7 was filled with flashbacks, and I never understood why a 25-minute episode needed so many. Rather than building momentum, the pacing slowed to a crawl, and from that point onward the story struggled to recover. Too many scenes felt repetitive or dragged out instead of developing the characters or relationships in meaningful ways.
By the end, I was mostly watching out of curiosity rather than excitement. There haven't been many Taiwanese BLs this year, which made this one even more disappointing because I had genuinely been looking forward to it. It had a likable cast, good chemistry, and a strong musical foundation, but it never fully capitalized on those strengths.
The love triangle had potential, but the writing wasn't strong enough to make the emotional conflicts feel compelling. The romance lacked the impact I was hoping for, and the overall story remained fairly safe and predictable until the end.
This isn't a bad series, and there are certainly enjoyable moments throughout, especially if you're looking for something light with good music and an attractive cast. But for me, it never reached the level its premise suggested it could.
Despite its promising start, it became increasingly frustrating as the weeks went on, and I finished feeling more disappointed than satisfied.
