Nothing but Spectacular
Very consistent from start to finish. It doesn't flop and always keeps you at the edge of your seat without being repetitive. It combines mystery, fantasy and romance perfectly. For the most part, it has a dark and dramatic tone with a few touches of comedy, that don't feel out of place, but rather are naturally incorporated to the series to lift up the mood. The plotline is so strong and well written, that doesn't rely on the romantic aspect to keep you interested like most bls. The romance feels more like a bonus to an already interesting story.The acting overall was good. I had very few issues with this series, that don't really overshadow its positive traits. I feel no show is 100% perfect.
I absolutely recommend it to anyone who is looking for an exciting journey to the unknown..

Avant-Garde
A very fresh and different series that didn't follow the usual format of a bl. It explores the challenges we all face when we get our first job, combining it cleverly with comedy and romance, while being educating. It had a solid plotline with very well written episodes (for the most part at least) and gave room for all the characters to grow, not just the main ones. Jane and Ryan, as main leads were such an interesting pairing. For me, after "Not me" these two were the best characters portrayed by Off and Gun. They served so much chemistry and I got the butterflies and everything as if watching them for the first time act together.With all that being said, there were some bumps on the road when it comes to the distribution of the screen time to the point where the development of the main couple became a bit unfulfilling. It's not an exaggeration to say that Off and Gun turned into a side couple in the middle of the show, which was the most disappointing part. Such a great set of characters kinda went to waste. It's one of those rare instances when a show could actually use a few more episodes, because it had so much more to say. Regardless, it's still a great series hence my rating, but it's a bummer because it could have easily been an almost perfect series if there was more care to the main pairing.
I highly recommend it if you like romance, office love or if you're just tired of the same old recipe. If you are not convinced, give it at least a try for OffGun. You're not gonna regret it!
