This story is so sweet and delicate, it'll make your heart melt.
I think it's one of the best BL this year (together with "Right Or Wrong") because it's soft but feels real at the same time.
My only issue, at first glance, was the volleyball/sport theme. Once you get the gist of the story, you'll forget about it.
It was like that for me: i started to ignore the part related to sport, even though it was not so bad (I just don't really like sport related series, my bad).

The cast is just amazing. Zach Lu (Zi Xuan) is almost 30 °-° i couldn't believe it. Fandy Fan is just so adorable, his smile is everything.
The two leads are so believable. The kisses are so intense and real... I rewatched episode 4 and 8 so many times just to fully enjoy them.

Tbh, I didn't fully get or like the brothers' storyline: it was a little bit vague and even though it was supposed to be the "difficult" one, i think it just resolved itself without too many issue (which I don't really understand, since they are fr*ckin brothers).

Music: PHENOMENAL. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The opening may sound a bit cheesy, but the overall soundtrack is good (especially during sad moments, the songs are gold).

I would definitely rewatch this (maybe in two or three months), 'cause it's a simple yet cute story, that can make you think and reflect about so many things. And then, again, the kisses are perfection.
