STORY: Details above describe it well but I will add that the story is sweet and real. Hang Hang (HH) can't help but fall in love with Liang Ze (LZ) but LZ isn't able to fully comprehend what this means because he's straight. There are a lot of great moments in this series and LZ is irresistible; if only he truly understood what he does to HH. Some say this has a sad ending but I don't believe it was. It was a somber cliffhanger but it was real: nobody died, it wasn't a tragedy, but I hope season 2 happens cause this story ain't over yet folks!
Total run-time: 3h 17m over 10 episodes, about 20m each. But like the trend in these dramas, the opening and closing credit eat up 3.5 minutes each; so binge on.
ACTING/CAST: Amazing chemistry. Actor Luo Yi Hang (Liang Ze) is amazingly cute and he plays his part well, so well that I couldn't keep my eyes off him every scene he was in. The rest of the cast were also very attractive.
MUSIC: Good for a short web series. In fact, in the extra episodes, which you must watch, it is revealed that a popular Chinese musician (via a cameo) actually sings the theme song. Way cool!
REWATCH VALUE: Yes, I want more LZ in my life.
OVERALL: A nice, warm show that's not complicated but does have some funny moments and some very serious ones. I think the pacing is a little slow in parts but overall a good show.
MISC: Watch the end credits at least once...wow. Don't forget to watch the special too. Google Yandaixiejie Additional Chapters. There's a part 1 and part 2 on YouTube, each 10 minutes long.
