So this is my first BL show and I liked this one. I was looking for something short and sweet to pass the time on a rainy day and I'm glad I chose this. I liked that it had only 4 episodes.

I have been wanting to watch the History series for a while so I thought today, WHY NOT! I thought this story was interesting because it was boy love but not because one of the boys was actually a girl for most of the series. It was sweet and a fun story, a little cliché but I didn't mind.

The acting was good too. It had a small cast of 4 people so I thought as an audience, you really connected with the cast. Yes the acting was a little corny at times but not cringey corny, just cute. I thought the main couple had a lot of chemistry which made it fun too.

The music, I don't remember a lot about which is why I gave it a low score. Since I don't remember the music, it probably didn't lend itself to impact the story all that much.

I would definitely watch this again and I am definitely going to check out the rest of the History series and maybe some more BL down the line. I thought this was a short and sweet series that didn't disappoint.

When I read about this movie, I thought it could be an entertaining movie so I thought, I'll give it a try. The movie wasn't horrible but it just wasn't great.

I felt the story was very generic. It was a typical adventure to save the world concept which always could be exciting but in this movie it just fell flat. The story was just so generic and even though a lot happened, it also seemed like nothing happened in the movie at the same time. I mean even the ending left me wanting more, which is never good. Story was just very lackluster.

I thought the acting was VERY cheesy...ESPECIALLY the main male lead. I actually found him to be quite annoying.

The music wasn't memorable at all...I actually don't remember the music at all and I am also not going to ever rewatch this.

The only saving grace of this movie was that the CGI and cinematography weren't half bad. It helped with the enjoyment of the movie but that is about it.

So now I have watched all of the History series and I have to this BY FAR is my favorite story of all of them. I just thought the couples were realistic and people you could relate too. It seemed like I was watching a couple of people I know going through what the couples in this story had to go through AND THAT IS GOOD!


I thought the story was good. Volleyball gave a backdrop, kept the story going and help with the character development which I liked. I played sports in high school so I liked that they used a sport in the story. The story gave the characters enough back story without it seeming bogged down which was good since there were only 8 short episodes. So the story didn't distract me from the emotions and connection with the characters.


I thought the acting/casting were perfect. Everyone had good chemistry and made it seem effortless. The only annoying thing I found was the actor who played the obnoxious captain and the sister. Probably because they bothered the main couple so much which I hated but other than that I thought the main couple worked well together and really sold it.


Sorry, don't remember much about the music.

I would totally watch this again though. It is light hearted and quick drama to immerse yourself into. I loved the entire History series but this was my favorite.
