I remember finding this series because I stumbled upon it whilst searching for dramas to watch. I went into it completely blind without knowing anything about the plot, and when it was over it became my favorite BL. 2 years later it’s still at the top of my list, even though a lot of good BLs have come out since then, so I decided to rate every section and explain my reasoning.

Story (10/10): In my opinion, the story was beautiful. It’s the best friends to rivals to lovers cliche but it’s done in such an emotional way that it feels different to everything else i’ve seen. If you don’t get into the story, then it might appear as boring at times and some of the scenes might look like they don’t have meaning, but everything is connected and every small detail gives insight into the main character’s mindset. If you pay attention, you’ll realize that every scene matters and things you might not understand start to come together.

Acting/Cast (10/10): The acting is great. The main character (Teh) has many flaws and I feel like his confusion throughout the story is portrayed very well. The entire point of his character is that he’s not perfect, and he’s a realistic portrayal of someone who’s having a lot of doubts and experiencing things he’s never felt before. Even though we, the audience, might feel anger because of his actions, and some people even dislike him, you have to put yourself in his mindset and realize that the reason he’s such a complicated character is because of everything he’s going through. Oh aew, the second lead, was also perfectly casted and you feel all the emotions the actor portrays. PP is an amazing actor and nobody else could’ve done such a good job. Finally, the chemistry between both leads is still the best I have seen in any BL up to date.

Music (10/10): The music really set the mood in every scene. It made sad scenes feel even more emotional and evoked uneasiness in the more tense scenes. Basically, the series wouldn’t be the same without it.

Rewatch Value (10/10): I have rewatched this series multiple times and although it’ll never be the same as watching it for the first time, it still makes me emotional and cry at a few of the scenes.

Overall (10/10): Overall, I would say this show is a masterpiece. I find it difficulty to find any flaw with it. The characters, whether you like them or not, were made to be exactly how they seem and makes the whole story more realistic. The story, which i’ve seen some say is boring, is done very well in my opinion and is not boring at all if you understand the importance of every scene.
