Not even worth a rating
It's just such a nothing series.
I went into this expecting fireworks because of all the hype and glowing reviews, but what I got was just another average BL that never really justifies why it's so highly rated. It has its moments, sure, but they're few and far between. Most of the series feels surprisingly flat.
The writing introduces plotlines that either go nowhere or are resolved so quickly that they barely matter. It constantly hints at bigger things but rarely commits to them. By the end, I felt like I'd spent more time waiting for the story to start than actually watching it unfold.
The acting didn't do much to elevate the material either. I never found myself fully immersed in the characters, so when the emotional scenes came around, they didn't land the way they were clearly intended to.
Even the music was forgettable. I can't think of a single scene where the soundtrack elevated the emotion or made a moment more memorable. It mostly blended into the background, which is a shame because a strong score can often make an average scene feel special.
If you're going to watch it, honestly... leave your brain at home. I think the show would actually prefer that. It asks you not to question much because most of the storylines don't amount to anything anyway.
You'll laugh here and there. There are a few genuinely sweet moments. But for me, it was mostly just ten hours of my life I'm never getting back.
And one final lesson I learned from this: I'm never trusting a drama rating on its own ever again.
