This series was very difficult to watch, as in, the English subtitled episodes with audio were hard to find. I had to use three platforms to watch the first season.

Although the story of a nerd crushing on a popular guy seems basic, the actual development of the story felt fresh. It is hard to understand why the two male leads like each other, but their chemistry is good and the progression of their relationship is unique and satisfying.

The series is a good representation of Chinese BL before the ban was enacted. A common characteristic in Chinese BLs is the quick and easy advancement of physical intimacy, which is refreshing to see.

The casting and acting felt appropriate. Any defects are due to poor writing and direction, not the actors.

The music was not memorable and in certain parts the music really did not fit the scene.

Despite the very noticeable defects related to a low budget, spotty writing, and mediocre production and direction...I would rewatch this show more than once. After watching 90% of BLs in existence, I find this show so refreshing despite it's many flaws. This show has potential to be great as a remake and also offers a look at China's unique take on the BL genre.

This show, a long with Addicted, are good watches if you want to see what to expect from Chinese BL when the ban is lifted.

In short, despite the low rating it was worth the watch and gave a refreshing BL experience.
