This series is definitely an outstanding BL to me. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and life lessons, carried by remarkable acting and chemistry - from the two main leads especially - and top-notch writing. Afterday, the writer of the novel this series is adapted from, is also the one who wrote Bad Buddy, so the writing quality is unsurprising ;)

The series successfully explores themes such as being a teenager, introvertedness, being gay and coming out, growing up, loving, grieving etc with a realism that makes everything incredibly relatable and moving.

The only thing I could see improved would be the pacing, which was at times slow, and the camerawork - very plain at the beginning - but honestly that faded in the background of everything that is great about this series, and didn't make much of an impact as I binged watched the show instead of waiting 1 episode a week.

I am grateful to everyone involved in this production and to Santa and Earth for their wonderful job bringing Cake and Eiw to life <3 I will definitely rewatch it!
