Beautiful and leaves you wanting more.

I can't explain the overall feeling this show gave me the whole time watching this. It was SUPERB!!!

It left me happy, satisfied and overwhelmed with emotions, that rarely happens when i watch a show. I was really attached to the characters. The actors really gave justice to their respective characters. The story is freshly executed and I agree with most of the reviews here, the cinematography is beautiful and the lighting was really good and how it highlights the mood and the faces of the characters.

The main soundtracks are also really good, they really emphasize the scene especially the melancholy scenes. Can't get enough of the songs i have been listening to it non-stop and it really brings you back to the show.

I still have hangover from this show.

I don't know what happened.

This started out really good, i was really looking forward to it, during the first few episodes patiently waiting for the new episodes to drop even if its 1:00am where i'm from. The idea was really good, the trailer was really exciting.

I don't know what happened but from episode 4 or something i felt like nothing is really happening, i didn't even realize that i was almost skimming thru most of the episode. Some scenes were dragging and boring. A lot of good and interesting premise was shown in the trailer but instead they focused too much on some unnecessary things. A lot of characters introduced but just wasted in the end. They could've done a lot of things instead of all the filler scenes in the last episode.

One of the things that sparked my interest was the exposing of the BL Industry they did indeed expose some like consent and the too much NC scenes but at times it felt forced. There were also times that it seems like they're also doing what they're exposing/shading and it felt a bit hypocritical. Again the idea was really good but the execution wasn't.

The whole drama in the end felt exaggerated, the whole break up and separation. They could just say they were childhood friends and people could easily check it. I agree with most of the review that it felt there was no real conflict for them, they could've just not break up since they're both rich or they could break up as they did in the show and nothings change. The whole drama around it felt OTT, i don't know how else to describe it. The way they show Gene being sad about it like he's never going to see him again or as if there's no way at all they could talk and see each other felt ridiculous.

Overall, i guess it just didn't work for me.
I would still recommend people to watch it especially if you like cute and fluffy BL's. Watch it and make your own assessment, it might not be for me but it could be other's cup of tea.
