Sometimes don't mind the comments before starting a series!

I started knowing about the series through the BL fan pages posting clips of the series. But after reading some of the top comments left on MDL I was unsure but I still start watching it because of TutorYim that I knew and adore from Cutie Pie.

And dare I say it was quite a journey through the first episode! The pacing of the episode was quite good although not quite packed with backstory for me to get to know the characters (also understandable as it is only 8 episodes). The cinematography was great (thank god for 4K Youtube) and the editing were not that horrible.

As I am not that deep into DMD's BL environment for me to compare and slam the series for it's storyline, actor/acting etc. like some of the commenters here, I think it was just a cute, bubbly, cringey BL for me to take it too seriously. Jade IS quite a handful as a character and at times over-hyper but I don't mind it. His chemistry with Mai is quite good and I'm quite surprised that I'm not into NetJames which is apparently DMD's other big BL couple that I'm not familiar yet.

The series' characters and vibe almost remind me of "A Boss and A Babe", in which both of them were not the top-notch series of the year type of series as much as an introduction series for the actors to really get experiences for acting. All and all I can say it is a good BL for you to fill up the time but you can't expect an Oscar for the series. And I do understand that for some people, this kind of series is not their cup of tea.

I can expect myself watching it through the end with hope that the story will progressing great in the future episode.
