first of all, i have to admit that im an apologist for this show so here's some points i wanna defend the show…
I'm not from HK but I have been watching HK dramas for many years so I totally agree with everything you've said. I have been really enjoying this drama, it's hilarious and light-hearted - a great introduction to BL/GL dramas for the general HK audience.
Same as you, I really appreciate the way the writers added local HK slangs and flavours into the drama! I've never watched the original so maybe I'm biased but I really think this drama should be appreciated on its own.
Yes, the drama has its own flaws and the pacing of the last few episodes is a little messed up but the great acting from the cast makes up for it.

Anson Lo mentioned in his instagram post that this is Tin and Muk in an alternative universe ❤️❤️❤️ And if you read the lyrics, you can tell that this is what Muk feels about falling for Tin - his loneliness, him loving Tin and taking care of him even though the chances of Tin loving him back is slim
Worst drama ever, even worse than TVB's worst dramas! Absolutely no effort put into writing credible characters or making sure that the plot makes sense. It feels like they have recycled every single one of TVB's cliched plots from the 90s and mash them together into this unwatchable show.
For a 40-episodes drama, the pace is kinda fast and I actually enjoyed it! The best thing about the show is making me so emotionally invested in the two couples, the writing and chemistry in the couples helped us all to root for them. The quality of the show went down quite a bit in the last 10 episodes, the writing was messy and it felt like the writers didn't know what else to do.
If I'm not wrong, there should have only been one episode released last week because all the episodes (except for Episode 13) are divided into Part 1 & Part 2.
