Hooked From Start to End --- But Left Wanting More
Well, I must say, watching the series in one go is absolutely amazing.
Yeah, I watched the whole series in one sitting: from episode 1 to 9.
I really appreciate the actors’ performances, their beautiful and elegant appearances, and their overall aura. I also loved the entire setup, the environment, the atmosphere, the storytelling, and the direction.
I haven’t read the novel; I started this series because of its positive and motivating reviews.
Still, I genuinely feel they should have given stronger BL vibes from episode 1. The interactions between the two leads felt more like bromance than actual romance at first. It was only after three or four episodes when He ChuSan kissed Lui Yi in his dream, that it truly started to feel like a BL series.
Also, the second leads felt a bit underdeveloped. Their relationship lacked depth, and the interactions between the cops needed more screen time and emotional intensity.
Even the second leads weren’t truly in love, but since their relationship was built on revenge, it should have been explored with more intensity and intimate moments to make it feel complete and believable.
Overall, the series shouldn’t have been limited to just 9 episodes, it needed more room to grow. And if it ends like this, then there has to be a Season 2.
I’m genuinely looking forward to it.
