I love the 16/21 age difference, it's so cute. It reminds me of when I had the same captivating relationship. So pure and innocent. But here, unfortunately, it's handled too prudishly.
Please don't talk nonsense. THIS IS NOT A THAI PRODUCTION. IF YOU DON'T KNOW, just keep quiet. The series is produced in China (mainland China). However, due to China's very strict censorship rules regarding homosexual romance (BL), the production adopted a specific strategy: the series is produced by an independent Chinese studio (Jialan Shanying), but it is distributed internationally via foreign platforms (such as the Taiwanese platform GagaOOLala and YouTube) in order to offer the story uncut.
I really like the actor Kingston; he's a revelation in his first leading role after extensive training abroad, including in Canada. Having lived in Iran, he brings a fresh perspective to the world of CBL and Asian BL in general.
I find him very refreshing. Now that he's launched his career, I hope he sticks mainly to the boys' love genre; I don't want him to go into heterosexual territory.
I also like Leo Peng, but he doesn't bring anything new to the table in terms of acting. It's pretty standard.
How did Quing Tian die? Why did Shi commit suicide? What kind of training was it that kept them from seeing each…
the Chinese BL novel and series *A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream*, the mention of the "Hunter School" (猎人学校 - Lièrén Xuéxiào) refers to a very specific element of the characters' past, and not to a hunting school for animals. Here is the contextual explanation within the work: A Special Forces Military School. In the story, the "Hunter School" refers to a top-secret and extremely difficult elite military training academy, modeled after the real-life Hunter School in Venezuela. The purpose: It trains special forces, elite soldiers, and paramilitary units for the most extreme combat conditions. The danger: The failure rate is enormous, and participants must sign a waiver stating that they accept the risk of losing their lives during training.
The comment section is practically empty, but it's clear this series doesn't conform at all to the standards defined by the fujoshi MDL universe.
It's absolutely not a BL, but a definitively LGBT series. This little gay bar was typical of the 80s, with its barroom discussions with the owner about gossip concerning gay friends; I knew that kitschy atmosphere well. In our country, these bars have all long since disappeared from the nightlife scene. Do they still exist in Japan today? Our two characters are the opposite of the model-like actors (many of them are) that we see in 95% of Asian series; this obviously makes the series more authentic. It makes us focus on the psychological struggle of the two protagonists.

Under these circumstances, this rating should be considered very good.
