THE HAIRRRRRRRRRR

This little gem right here.

At first glance, it's definitely a drama that is completely and utterly cheesy and cute which is right but it grows to show it has a more serious plot to it. There is a solid plot behind it and it's quite enjoyable. It's got a ton of funny moments and is filled with shameless bromance. Yes, the plot is a little predictable at times but it's good if you've just got some time to spare and to have a few laughs without planning a million theories on the plot. It's a good dose of cuteness, humour and bromance.

The acting was very well done. I loved all the actors and I think they did an amazing job. The two main leads have done incredibly well even with no professional training. It looked natural and was convincing. The supporting roles were great and I especially loved the character, Xiao Lin. He was adorable with A Fu. Admittedly, I came for Song Jiyang (I actually ended up forgetting about him being in it and I just saw my watchlist and thought I should check it out lol don't even think I read the summary hah) but I stayed for everyone else in the series too. The leads are beautiful really, they're really, really cute when they smile lol.

Music was really nice. The opening is super catchy and the rest of the songs used throughout the drama was just great. Also, the sound effects of the cat and dog fighting used when the two mains were fighting was actually a really funny thing. I laughed a lot during their fights with those sounds.

Production wasn't very high-budget, we can see that but they did a really good job with what they had. I would just like to mention that I really loved the costumes and the hair. Like, the bloody hair was styled so beautifully. I literally could not concentrate because I was just staring at the hair. It just looked so much better than any other drama I had seen for some reason. It was so pretty? I don't understand, I've fallen in love with their hairstyles HAH.

Overall, this is great as a light-hearted little series for some laughs. It's filled with sweet moments and a strong, shameless bromance. This drama was really good. I know it was based on a BL novel so I actually decided to check it out and for once, I can see the similarities in the drama and novel. Also, I thought I would've ended up dropping the novel like I always do but I'm still reading it so like yeah, the novel's good too. While it's a true bromance, I like it better than some BLs honestly. So, if you ever have time, watch this. You won't regret it :)
