Somehow lost its way...

I just finished this.When started it few hours ago* i was so excited and almost certain,i was going to love it.The premise and the main idea was interesting and unique.And as iam a real sucker when it comes to messy/parallel worlds and all this stuff,i thought my final score would be above 8.Alas!

*Yes i had plenty of free time but still many episodes,watched them in 2x speed.Guilty!

First of,this one has one of the most beautiful intros(both visuals and Music)among all BLs,if not the best.Too short but too impressive.I never skipped.

Also,Production/Cinematography and Direction everything was really great.(i only had few issues with some editing)
I usually do not like Thai Osts.Same here.I gave Music a 6 just for the intro music theme.

Cast & Acting:
Ohm and Fluke are a couple i always have high hopes but...i don't know what is going wrong at the end.
Their acting was average all the way.I was really disappointed.
I thought after having so much experience playing a couple in previous BLs,their chemistry was gonna be Fire!Unfortunately it wasn't.There weren't even few sparks to start off.

The Story.
I gave an 8 because it had so much potential.This is not your typical BL.Multi/parallel worlds and different time sets.Exciting!Was all these confusing?Hell yes it was.Still a unique idea,which i loved.The execution was the problem here as the development of the plot too.
The word parallel is the main issue here.I copy: " extending in the same direction, equidistant at all points, and never converging or diverging" So why the hell you messed up with the plotline giving us this way the story went?I get you wanted to give us a Happy Ending,yes why not..but.No,the multi universes never ever never should align!You ruined the main premise of your idea!I would prefer to see the development of all couples in their different worlds,with different outcomes!
You cannot love one person in your world just because you have met and loved him in a parallel universe.
Mum & Dew in one world.
Dew & Mint in another etc etc.That would be complex,interesting and would keep my enthusiasm in higher levels!


The intimacy scenes between the main couple were surprisingly fewer than expected and the editing at those scenes was always rough!Bad in quantity and quality as well.And for me that was one of the reasons i really didn't feel there is love or passion.Therefore,lack of chemistry.And this ruined the story too.

Again no real depth in characters.I understand there were too many things to show(and actually failed...)but at least try to give us a little insight of every character.It is always apreciated by the audience!
I loved Mint's char in Mum's world and i hated her char in Dew's world.That was the only exception about some depth in chars.

Side Note:
About Mum's character.
Ok iam going to be a bitch here.
His looks.The hair..The style... the bike...the attitude...
His mixing drinks skills..Being a player switching girls like shirts,,,Should i continue??
Women passing him their phone numbers..Buying him drinks...Helloooo!Does it ring any bells??
So Porsche!I mean comon it couldn't be more obvious.And to be honest i was really annoyed and i didn't like all these details at all. Apo as Porsche,was and always be the real thing so please don't.just don't!Is tacky!

Ok now iam back to my old good and kind self!Lol.

To conclude:
The main idea was excellent.
Is not the typical BL.
Wach it for something different.Especially if you are a fan of the main couple.
Is not disturbing and unpleasant in your eyes.Good quality in visuals.You may like the songs too,i don't know.
Definitely not the worst out there.
And lets be honest.We,all the BL lovers,want to watch as many as we can even if they are not the best.Is called addiction!
Cheers!
