This was just terrible
I am trying to think where to even begin with. I really wanted this to be a hit for all the actors involved, but this might be the worst BL so far that I have ever watched until the end. And that is saying a lot, considering the amount of shows aired these days.
What is the biggest shortcoming of the show is that the comedy which is the main aspect of the show, it does not work. I understand humor is a very subjective preference, but some of the jokes were literally for things that small kids would laugh at, and this certainly in other aspects is not a show for small children. There was maybe an attempt to have a more serious tone to the show once Fu and Moo did get together, but the transition fails, bc the horrible comedy is still present even in later episodes.
There were also just so many bad choices made in terms of plot progression. We had a jealousy plot line recycled three times in the show, which for one single BL is just too many. In the last two episodes we had a drug trafficking plot line with undercover police officers which was wild considering how juvenile the show in general had so far been. There was all together three side characters with romance plot lines that didn't lead to anywhere. Since Fu's and Moo's romance clearly had not enough material to carry the show trough all 10 episodes, the three side character romances could have really helped to at least bring some substance in to the hollow main plot line.
The shows main couple did generally suffer from credibility problem. Since Moo had obviously been so set against Fu courting him for years, the 360 that is made in just few episodes feels absurd. I do have some empathy towards Moo's reason rejecting Fu previously, cruel careless things heard as a teen can be very traumatizing, even if it was something they could have discussed earlier. The end of the show feels just as absurd for the main couple, considering the short time they have been romantically together and what generally was the relationship's starting point.
I really like Boss and Noeul's on screen chemistry, which makes me just hope this show will be quickly forgotten and they can move to better acting projects. I would not recommend watching this, even if some of the actors are your favorites. For me this was a clear fail.
