It was one of my most anticipated BL for this year because the trailer truly captivated me. Maybe because I had high expectations that's why I ended up disappointed.
Good things first, Solo and Gui are both non-toxic. I like how they slowly fell in love with each other. I believe love should not really be dramatic and cinematic all the time. Sometimes love comes in the most boring way but that's still valid. Phu and Khao are also cute together. They are not toxic to each other too. We didn't consent issues with this series. The OST might be one of the best things that happened in this show.
Now as to why I rated it low is based on my enjoyment in this one. I was bored to death halfway through this series. The acting was stiff. I understand that this is a first acting gig for the actors but more workshop could've been a better option. Solo and Gui are both too robotic. I saw some silver lining near the finale because Solo improved his acting in there. A great director could've made these characters shine even if the actors are rookies. The directing and editing are a mess.
