A BL That Serves Tea

Never thought a fluffy, cutesie BL could actually talk about things that matter. I was genuinely surprised by this. The story was on point imo and the leads were also topnotch (damn, Kao). Another thing I really liked was how similar young and old Nubsib was, especially how they called Gene's name, so adorable.

If I would nitpick, the breakup thing was an unnecessary drama (although I understand that's part of the story ofc). The last episode was also kind of a let down compared to the previous ones. But overall I think it still managed to stand out and is definitely one of the best (for me) or at least one of the good ones. I really hope this would be watched by a lot of BL fans, especially the toxic ones who doesn't know how to separate actors' public & private lives, as it not only entertains but also serves a lesson when it comes to these issues.

A New Standard for BL

Let me just say that I haven't really cried for a movie/series (BL or otherwise) in a loooonggg time, and that's coming from someone who doesn't really get emotional quickly. This one is different and at the same time very good. I haven't watched a ton of BLs, but this is definitely the best I had so far. The story and the setting are just a breath of fresh air. The actors and the characters they portray are also excellent, so much so that you'd get attached to them as you watch the series. I don't really mind at all the limited skinship, it's one of the few BLs where less is more and once we got it, it was really executed well, maybe even better that others who have tons of skinship/kiss. Plus, the chemistry between the two leads (EarthMix) is topnotch. And lastly, the OST. I just fell in love with it and is definitely my new favorite. The song about the wind (don't know the title) has also a really good lyrics/meaning and I like how emotional it is.

I nearly stopped watching after the first two episodes, but decided to continue anyway as I have been reading really good reviews about it. The thing is, some really problematic scenes at the first two episodes may put off some viewers, and that's perfectly understandable. So if you're new to this, might as well watch the start and decide for yourself if you wanna continue. The story actually got better as the series progressed. And the chemistry between the two leads is topnotch. While a lot of people may disagree with me, but I must say this series is hard to top for me so far, especially in terms of chemistry between the two leads. That alone is enough to hook you with this one.
