Amazing mini drama!

First of all, I never butter up to dramas just because they have BL. There were many BL dramas I didn't like and wasn't shy to admit it. I started this with not much expectations because of the salty comments, but ended up loving it more than I imagined I would. I'm so glad I watched it. I haven't watched such a good BL drama in so long. This was a mini web-series but gives the satisfaction of a (mini) mild makjang drama.

I felt like it was a combination of Korean and Taiwanese mild makjang mini drama, even though it was so short, it has the feel of a drama instead of a short web-series if that makes sense. It comes with all the flavors of a normal drama except that this is just 150min long (so you could see it as a movie instead of whine that its short).

The main korean character's acting and background story + personality feels just like your typical kdrama hot & cold male lead.

Even though the main lead (Jun Cheong) speaks mostly korean while the others speak taiwanese but they hint that the others understand his korean because the other characters say blend in korean words in their chinese sentences at times and at other times they even throw in full korean sentences (even tho their korean isn't good but Lin Xun's korean is surprosingly good). Also even Jun Cheong mixes some chinese words with his korean sometimes but just a word or two every now and then.

I heard many people on other platforms criticizing this mini drama calling it unsatisfactory, too short, no plot, full of fanservice, etc.

First of all, this is a web-series and its better than most other web-series so you can't call it too short lmao. Besides, its as good as a normal drama because it has all the flavors a long drama has, this is the first mini web-series that made me treat it as a drama. Yall are being too greedy.
Second of all, how doesn't it have a plot? Really? Just because it was short doesn't mean it doesn't have a plot! It started when they had a conflict that involved both leads in and they solved it then we see the relationship and feelings slowly develop. We watch as the side couples have their own unique and different romance stories. They even managed to tell us a little about each of the main leads' background stories and we even understand how their life has been like throughout the years and even present. They even managed to include little things like one of the main lead's birthday, things they like and dislike, their personalities are consistent with theor character yet we can see them grow and improve as a person all in just 10 tiny bity episodes.
Also the last 1-2 episodes are full of fan service?? Really? If there was really fan service, do you think they'll have all those kisses scenes? If that were really done for fan service then they would just have gay-baited us and we wouldn't even see any kiss scene!! they each of the 3 couples in the drama have their own unique romance and story, even some conflict and reunite is involved just like every other drama. Just because the couples are getting together later in the drama and being lovey dovey doesn't mean its for fan service! Heck, if that was really fan service then the last 4 episodes of "Her Private Life" are also fan service!! The last 4 eps in that drama were full of the main leads kissing so much and being way over the top lovey dovey to the point I wanted to vomit blodd!! But when couples in bl dramas get to also have some lovey dovey moments too when they finally get together then that's wrong and fan service?

I was surprise that for such a short web-service, the productions budget cost was obviously high, and the filmography was as good as kdramas. That's why I always prefer Chinese/Taiwanese/Korean BL whether the romance is censored or just the drama is short, because they have actual good stories and plots unlike Thai BL series that are being done in the mass to the point the stories feel to repetitive.

If they do it hot, you argue that you want it cold. If they do it cold, you argue that they do it hot.

What more do you want??

Also NO there is no incest and the brothers don't fall in love with each other ffs, there are 3 brothers only and the 4th one is mistaken as the 4th brother by accident but that gets solved quickly before any romance actually happens. Don't listen to the comments and watch it, you'll get to see each of the 3 brothers have a relationship that blooms beautifully.
