This one heads the top of my list for 2023 - As a side note, there have been many disappointing bl's this year.

These actors were awesome together - the chemistry was off the charts, their expressions were so emotional you could feel the love, the pane, the happiness.

The rest of the actors/actresses were also awesome.

The story line is very different from other bl's, and it is a really good story. I don't know who wrote this story but I hope they write more bl stories.

There were no side stories to interrupt the flow, no super annoying characters screeching & screaming. Although it is not a complicated plot, it is an interesting one.

The music was a bit unusual, but it fit and I liked it

The passionate scenes tastefully done, and I so appreciate a bl where the kisses make you feel like these two guys were in love, honestly they should give other bl actors some lessons.

The pacing was also perfect, nothing rushed, nothing boring.

I would love to see these two together again.
