I did not expect such a hype, but this series certainly deserved it. They did a lot of things right and I really enjoyed it, but I still got a little frustrated with it.

Let’s start with the positive aspects. First of all, the cast was great, I can’t complain about anyone. Also, the characters they played were mostly well-written, they felt relatable and genuine. I could feel the author of “Theory of Love” (which I loved); unlike other BL series, the characters didn’t feel cartoonish or totally unrealistic. The music was on point, obviously, the screentime of the side characters was okay and the amount of humour was just right. The overall storytelling was smooth and never boring, although it sometimes jumped a little too quickly from one scene to the next one.

However, I expected more. After the first, say, 5 episodes, some more story development and more drama should have occurred; it just started going in circles at some point. When there was some tension, it was usually quickly resolved within the course of just one episode, so I could not get invested in it. The emotions of the characters felt very real, but it all went too quick to really get me emotional while watching. It was all fun and sweet, no doubt, but just too “light” for me to fully enjoy it.
