This series was in my bottom 3 of the 2025 lineup. I had low expectations only to be pleasantly surprised of how good it turned out to be. The premise itself wasn't mind-blowing, but it truly excelled in execution and writing, investing on slow character development. The drama explores human relationships, trauma and healing process in depth, providing both humour and comfort in between. As for the romance, it's treated maturely and without following any of the usual BL tropes, which makes the approach feel more refreshing and organic.

Acting-wise, I gave a full score only for Jimmy, Sea and First's performances. The entire cast was really good, but these three gave outstanding performances and outdid themselves, showcasing their growth and versatility. I can confidently say, that the characters of Thap and In, both in their dynamic and their acting technique, are the best characters ever played by Jimmy and Sea. As for Karn, he is arguably one of First's most challenging roles in his entire filmography and he delivered. Regarding the side couple of Save and Franc, despite their limited screen time, they actually showed a lot of chemistry and potential.

Overall, I do recommend this series to anyone who looks for something different in the BL genre. Admittedly, there were a few moments the show felt a bit slow paced for my liking, but it still kept my attention till the end. And even if the plot isn't to someone's taste, the acting alone is so good, it's worth giving it a try.
