Cut But Kinda Cringey Then It Become Dull...
Cute, but a bit cringey in its first half. Unfortunately, I was so bored and uninterested in its second half.
Xia Hao fell for Yu Xi a bit too fast in my opinion. His attraction was kinda out-of-nowhere too. One minute, he hated him. The next, he likes him, putting in so much effort to chase him. And his personality did like a complete 180, pass the point of believability. It's so awkward and cringey seeing him act all cute, love-dovey and over-the-top because he is 'in love' with Yu Xi. Sun Bo Xiang and Lu Zhi Gang's relationship was also too quick in my opinion and I didn't care for them. Both relationships quickly get dull and stale as there is no conflict or tension. Nothing to build towards.
And of course, there's the standard "I don't like guy. I just like _____" which is plentiful in BL series unfortunately.
Lu Zhi Gang has good intentions as he probably sees Yu Xi as a little brother, but what he did by telling Xia Hao off is selfish. Ultimately, it should be Yu Xi who decides whether or not he wants love in his life, not some outsider. And Yu Xi still studies hard and he will no doubt he able to continue to achieve high marks. Maybe with love in his life, he will feel even more motivated to do well in school. And he's happy. Happier than he was when he was alone. That must count for something.
It's so stupid for Xia Hao and Yu Xi to make out on the couch in the living room with the possibility of Xia's family coming in anytime. It's just so dumb and unrealistic.
I thought that being gay was legal in Taiwan. Why did Yu Xi get in trouble at school for going to a gay bar? And why didn't Xia Hao blame the person who the photo was from? Especially since that person is friends with his ex-girlfriend.
The infamous ending. I was initially expecting that Xia Hao wasn't going to get into a top 5 university to be honest, but when he did, I knew that one of the main characters probably died. To be honest, I enjoyed the ending. It was interesting and brought something new and different to the series, especially since I was quite bored during the second half. Not sure what the purpose of the inclusion of a Yu Xi doppelganger was though. And Xia Hao became straight with a possible female love interest. Ugh. And he reaffirmed that he didn't like guys, only Yu Xi. Ugh.
On a side note, Wayne Song (Xiang Hao Ting) is absolutely beautiful though! Probably the best-looking BL actor I've seen thus far! His hair! His cheekbones! His jawline! Stunning!
