Needs to be 8 episodes, but definitely worth a watch

The premise of the show is unique but heavy. Compared to the History series that Taiwan has become well-known for, Innocent takes on a far grittier quality.

My favourite thing about BLs is being immersed in the process of how couples fall in love and getting increasingly invested in their relationship However, the show struggles to elaborate on how the characters built emotional intimacy – likely a function of the series having only 4 episodes.

I was expecting a dramatic turning point where a character makes a conscious decision to act on their feelings in an us-versus-the-world moment (super typical for BLs), but there just wasn’t this sort of scene in Innocent. Not that it’s a big deal but this definitely contributed to the series being slightly underwhelming.
