A pleasant watch
This was really sweet and I enjoyed watching it. I thought Cheng Chang Fan was a standout as Kane (I dont know why the subtitles call him that) and Alan Song as Soda was great too.
I was a little surprised that what I thought was the main pairing ended up taking a backburner to the side couple, and I ended up wishing they had paired the two most appealing actors instead of what they did. I didn't really feel the love from David Chiu as Sung Yi Fan - his performance was too cold with not enough subtle hints about how he felt, except for the way he kept wiping frosting off Kane's face, which came off slightly creepy rather than cute.
Kane is a young man who wants to be a musician but is being suffocated by pressure to hide who he is, and I think the actor did a great job - he's one of those people that's way cuter when he's sad than when he's smiling and I just wanted to hug him all the way through this.
Soda is having pre-wedding jitters aggravated by trauma he's suffered from his parents' disastrous marriage, and the actor did a great job with one of the better-realized characters in this drama.
The production values are great, and all-in-all this was a solid BL, although it's probably not going to make anyone's Top 10 list. Unless you've only watched 10 BLs.
