Zhou Shu Yi has been fighting to be number one since middle school. He's highly intelligent and an excellent swimmer, but he always comes up short behind Gao Shi De. When he goes to one university, and Gao Shi to another, it's a relief. Finally he can be number one. Until , that is, Gao Shi transfers to the same university, and their rivalry starts all over again. But is Gao Shi really out to beat Zhou Shu just to be annoying? Or does he have another reason?

Spoiler alert - yes, he does. He's been in love with Zhou Shu for most of his life, and beating him is the only he can keep Zhou Shu's attention. When Zhou Shu's two best friends declare their love for each other, leaving Zhou Shu upset and a little lost, Gao Shi steps in and things progress from there.

The pacing for this story is consistent and fluid. Nothing drags, nothing feels like filler and no scenes are wasted. indeed, sometimes there are scenes that are too short and some things could do with extra attention, but everything still works well. There are no nonsensical sound effects and no blatantly obvious and out-of-place product placements.

The acting is excellent, especially by the two leads, and their chemistry is sizzling. When they finally kiss, it's with real passion. You can practically see the steam rising off of them. This probably shouldn't have surprised me as much as it did, as I have noticed that so many Taiwanese actors who do BL don't have a problem with the more intimate scenes. I've yet to watch one where I got the impression any of the actors were uncomfortable. If they were, they didn't show it at all.

This is exactly the kind of BL I like to watch. The plot is simple, the acting is great, the pace is perfect and the soundtrack is wonderful. It's a sweet and fluffy series with some angst sprinkled over for drama's sake and a happy ending.

It is absolutely re-watchable, and I highly recommend it.
