Neither Hot nor Cold

I appreciated this series for being made with care and for daring to address the themes of religion and sexuality within the church, but the overall approach felt a bit restrained to me. I felt that Tanrak's inner conflict between his faith and his feelings wasn't explored with enough depth or with as much intensity, at least. There are definitely some strong and memorable scenes that got me in my feels, but regarding the rest of the story I just didn't get as emotionally invested. As for the main characters, they were well-written with an interesting background, but the plot focused too much on them, it made any support characters feel almost irrelevant to the story and the universe of the series feel small.

Acting-wise, Gemini and Fourth delivered as always and everyone in the cast in general did a great job with their roles.

Overall, this series has definitely quality and it's well-made, but this more optimistic take, just didn't click with me. Maybe, I had set my standards higher based on the pilot trailer and expected a more dramatic result, but I do recommend the series. There's nothing really bad or wrong about it -- it simply didn't resonate with me as a viewer.
