It was cute.

Overall, it was a cute, fluffy, and relaxing series. It had an interesting story idea, but the execution was not quite there. On the positive side, I really like the two main leads which were cute together. Yang I Hsuan did a good job with his character. He was able to make Jiang Chi come across as stand-offish and cold individual without making him coming across as an A-Hole. Hong Wei Zhe did a great job making Gu Bu Xia appear as a loveably goofball without him being annoying. Both characters balanced each other out very well. As for the negative, the script had some flaws in it. Although there were a few, the major flaw for me was the constant picture taking/shipping chat aspect of the show. I found this very annoying and felt a little out of place for a Taiwan BL series. I would have expected this more from an older Thai BL series. I also hated the comment about sexual positions, why does it matter who is the top or bottom. It would have been nice to see more of the supernatural aspect of the script in the beginning of the series, but this is just a minor aspect for me.

Random Note: Although it was not perfect, it was a nice change from the last two BL series I watched from Taiwan.
