When I started watching these series, I knew that they won't be all lovey-dovey and that's what really pushed me to watch it. I'm a fan of series that aren't so fake to real life and let me think more about what actually does happen in the world. And these series shortly but surely did show a dark side of it.

Overall I would say that this is a good series to watch since a lot of people don't like the "real" stuff in BL world and that understandable cause it's a fantasy world where people come to run away from real-life problems, but this way it's easier to understand and see the real-life problems when you mix them with fantasy and make them visible. Also, the series is short so you don't have to "waste" a lot of time on it. One more thing that is shown that I liked a lot, is that this story doesn't have a 100% happy ending. We don't even know what really is the ending. It doesn't end with "oh let's forget everything that happened, I love you, you probably love me, let's just be together" and I stan. It would be a bit sick if it ended like that. It was realistic.

What I also liked, is that we weren't told if Shin actually did have romantic feelings for P'Keng (or if he was even gay) and we only knew about P'Keng's. Shin is this typical shy character who at the end has developed and it's visible. About P'Keng though...I could understand his part too. He's a broken person from the start and the blame lies heavily on parents. At first, you want to love him and then hate him with passion but you have to think about everything before judging him. He really did do an awful thing, that's true, but those were all the repressed feeling that had piled up in him that came out in one moment and they mixed and their effect wasn't the best. So, judge me all you want, but I do feel sorry for him that his situation made him the way he is. Also, he confuses love with obsession a lot.
