Strong Start, Meh Ending

I was so excited for this drama when it first started. The attention to detail for the early 2000s setting really added to the fresh feeling this BL had. Most of the cast may be first time actors, but they all gave their absolute best to their roles and you can feel the love and heart put into this project. Title was especially wonderful as Nut and his chemistry with his costar Man as Phob was great.

Good vibes, pretty decent acting, a strong start... so, what went wrong? One word: flashbacks. This show was plagued by far to many similar flashbacks that sometimes added nothing to the scene and took away valuable time that could have been used for storytelling. Because of it's short run time, the story of Phob's and Nut's relationship felt extremely underdeveloped. Not to say their feelings felt rushed because they weren't. Them getting together made sense. But we didn't get to see anything beyond that really after such a crucial time in their lives where Phob was going through such a big change.

The finale was disappointing to say the least. It felt like a music video montage and had an unnecessary time skip that ended on a cliffhanger. So, season 2 maybe? This series felt a bit too much like it was trying to be a mysterious indie movie with an ambiguous ending but kind of flopped in that area.

Despite this I still think it's worth the watch. Like I said, it just feels like a production with a lot of love and passion behind it and often times it left me feeling warm. I congratulate the cast on their performances and hope they all continue to have a bright future ahead of them in the acting industry.
