To my surprise it wasn't that bad.
I usually don't watch a lot of shorts but I got so much on my current watch list that I decided to watch a shorter thing. I think this short was extremely adorable and actually had a lot of potential however, I believe the reason it wasn't amazing has to do with the length of the episodes. I'm not a huge fan of the plot either.
This mini series was filmed in Osaka because they were forbidden to film it in China. I feel like this really saddens me because even if the BL industry is getting bigger in China, there are still sooo many consequences to filming a BL. I wonder if Sun Wei Hao will ever get another main role. Both actors are pretty okay, but I think production just did them kinda dirty. I really like the name Zi Rui, it's cute idk. I also like the fact they did a Taiwan x Chinese couple and actually use 2 actors with both that ethnicity. I'm a bit sad that there's zero extra or side characters, it would've added a bit to the plot aswell. Sure, the om is mentioned but that's it. Also tf was that outfit in episode 1...
The story line is really messy and I dislike it. I think more time would've been better. I'm so sorry but the whole massaging plot made 0 sense to me. I think the start was extremely rushed as well. The second episode was quite.. straight to the point and uhh yes. The 4th felt extremely slow unlike the rest but it was the episode that I liked the most.
Overall my rating isn't that bad, I think it just had far more potential if they made it longer and stretched the plot. I don't understand shorts because it feels like it's made for extreme dopamine fed kids. They could've rather made a short movie instead. I won't recommend but if you have like 30 minutes, use it to watch this instead of doomscrolling lmao.
