Honestly, I really enjoyed this BL! The concept was original, and I felt there was real character development—for both the main and supporting roles.

I was especially moved by Thun. He seems cold and violent at first, but he turns out to be the complete opposite: sweet, deeply loyal, and ready to do anything for the people he loves. Keen also pleasantly surprised me. I was afraid he’d be portrayed as passive or fragile, but not at all—he truly takes control of the situation with strength and confidence.

I also liked Sian Therp. At first, he didn’t leave much of an impression, but later on, he becomes a proper antagonist, which added good tension to the story.

If I had one small regret, it’s that I wish we had seen more moments of friendship within the group. It would’ve emphasized even more how Keen found a new family. Still, the emotional build-up was definitely there.

Visually and story-wise, it was refreshing to watch. Some episodes were over an hour long, which could feel like a lot, but honestly, the pacing made them fly by.

And I can’t finish without mentioning Itt and Mawin’s love story—I loved it! They’re totally different from each other, yet so complementary. And Mawin is such a brat—it’s incredibly entertaining.
I recommend this BL!
