A really beautiful teaser!

I stumbled upon this teaser thanks to browsing Taiwanese tags on MDL. And I could not be happier! The vibe of it is so artistic, minimalistic but still gorgeous and full of emotions. Even though it is just a teaser (and we do not get to know much about the story in a greater detail), it was so beautiful and melancholic.
I simply cannot wait for the whole series to come out (even though it is supposed to be just aroud 5 ep long, each 10-15 mins - at least based on a YT comment). I am really happy that the creators reached their goal in fundraising for the series, otherwise, it would be such a shame if the story were not developed fully.
Firstly, the direction is beautiful, artsy with long shorts in one angle. It is just my cup of tea!
Acting? Amazing.
Music? Also amazing, gorgeous, ethereal. Really fitting.
I am immideately tempted to watch it again.

A great show but could've been better

I must admit that I quite liked the show. Mainly for the acting of the two leads. They were really great and communicated a lot of the emotions really well, even without words... What was lacking was the pacing and story of the show.
I mean, it starts quite slow - which is not a problem, if the show is at least 10 eps and the build up pays off, but here it is eight 15min episodes... SO SHORT! - and in the final two or three episodes it is all soooo rushed.
We do not have the dancing school developed at all, not even the relationships at the school. We just see one lunch scene and then the one douchebag (being a douchebag like two or three times) and that's it. Nothing more. It just kinda ends without any depth or resolution. There is not much attention to the bullying or rivalry, it just disappears. We do not even see the rivalry at the final dance competition... Nothing.
I was also confused when our ML hurt his leg, was visibly limping and then just aces the audition? Like, hello?
As for the relationship of the two men, it was nice, cute even. But the series should've been longer. I mean, in the last two episodes so much happens that I was just baffled at the development. They kiss (also, I am afraid that the kiss from To My Star will not be topped for a looong period of time... here it was quite lacking, but whatever - physical contact is not everything), then they are quite cold to each other, then they touch, kiss, presumably have sex (YAAAS! Finally, not just a smooch), then they "break up"... Like, what? I mean, it was so rushed. And the end was so forced for them to have a happy ending. I feel like we could even get a bad ending and a possibility of some second season... please? Where they would meat a few years later. Still finding out they love each other... hm? No, here the plot device is a literal podcast. Which is cute but also so weird. Like, how the loan shark boss is okay with our ML just going for the debtor when a few episodes back it was such an issue...
Please, make your series longer so that the plot development makes sense. OR make the story way simpler so that all the complications and "rising action" reaches climax and also a resolution... then we, the audience, are satisfied. :)

Cute but a little disappointing...?

I really liked the first season - it was a great mix of parody but also fluff. We also got from point A to point B, basically, there was a progress in terms of the MC.
This time, the focus is more on characters (the parody, not so much) and we are mostly following the supporting characters... That is where I had an issue. I felt like the story of the supporting characters could've been released as a spin off episode. I feel like nothing really happenned with the MC and his development.
I would prefer it if the focus of this season was more on Mob, and his brother Ayato (who gets screen time but still I would love to see more... Ayato/Toujou have such a great chemistry!).
Why am I rating this season still relatively high? The acting and the gorgeous guys made this still very watcheable.

Watch it for the chemistry, not for the plot or production

I mean, this was my very first C-drama, bromance one too. I had very little expectations for the series and I loved every second of it. Plus, I am planning to re-watch it so that I can experience the beautiful chemistry of the two leads once more.
Let's be real here: the plot and production value is subpar. It is apparent that the budget was cut halfway through so the CGI is oftentimes horrendeous, there are no extras in certain areas, the props are also cheaply made. Also, this series balances on the very edge of all the issues that are censored in China (BL, magic, ghosts, time travel, etc.). Meaning, the series is very very different from the novel and some things are not really explained to avoid further censorship. One thing I did not understand in the series was how come that Zhao Yunlan is a Guardian.. HOW?! He is just a regular human in the series. Nothing supernatural about him, really.
Some of the dubbing was also quite bad - why were some phrases/voices dubbed?

The best thing about the series are the main actors. They are SO GOOD! The way they portray the BL relationship is amazing and everyone knows that they are not just friends. All the little glances, touches, stares, reactions communicate well that the guys are actually in love with each other.
I completely understand why this drama is so loved but also criticized in terms of the plot development or production. Yet, I think that anyone interested in BL/bromance/censored dramas should check it out.
