Worth Every Second of your Time !!

I don’t even know where to start…

The moment I saw the poster, I just knew this series was going to EAT and it absolutely did.

From the very first two episodes, I was completely hooked. The plot immediately pulls you in, and the chemistry between the leads is simply incredible. The way these two actors portray every emotion feels so raw and authentic that you can genuinely feel every moment with them. It even gives you butterflies. YES, it’s that good.

I’ve watched a lot of BLs, but none has captivated me like this one.

Nowadays, many BLs rely too much on lust, toxic dynamics, or characters trying too hard to be dominant. This series is the complete opposite, and that’s exactly what makes it so refreshing.

This is the kind of BLs I’ve been missing. The love develops naturally, the emotional connection feels genuine, and the longing between the characters is portrayed so beautifully. If you’re looking for a story filled with slow-burn romance, heartfelt, understanding, and that aching sense of yearning for someone you love, I can’t recommend this enough.

Both actors deliver outstanding performances. Every glance, and every moment of vulnerability feels believable. They truly bring their characters to life.

Now I find myself counting down the days to a new episode because the wait is pure torture. I’ve even rewatched the released episodes more than once because this series is just that good.

Without a doubt, one of the best BLs I’ve watched in a long time. Cuddos, to the writers, directors and producers who have created this MASTERPIECE !!

Modern Office Romance

Before getting into the negatives, I have to say that I really enjoyed this drama overall. The main couple is a great pairing, and their chemistry works really well. Their complicated, undefined relationship was handled surprisingly well from beginning to end. I also really appreciated how the drama addressed the time skips instead of leaving us confused as viewers.

That being said, I sometimes wished Luan Nian’s communication skills were better. He can come across as quite harsh and, at times, a little arrogant towards Shang Zitao.

What bothered me the most was that, throughout the show, he never really seemed to see Shang Zitao as his equal. He often gave off the impression that he was somehow above her, which doesn’t sit right with me considering that they’re re in a relationship. Even when Shang Zitao did something wrong, he would often call her words like “dumb” or “cheap” instead of trying to communicate with her and show her a different perspective - Like, you’re her partner act like it and lose the attitude! 😭

I understand that he isn’t the best with words, but I honestly think he falls short there quite a lot.

Another thing I still don’t understand is how their parents never met over the course of six years. I understand that their relationship wasn’t official, but after six years, you would think the people closest to them would know about each other. What also bothered me was how they decided they to keep their relationship private for so long, eventually deciding to only meet on weekends — and most of the time only in the evenings. For six years?! That is crazy to me. 😭

I also wish the drama had explored their future together more. They never really had a deeper conversation about what they wanted their future to look like or what they expected from each other. Shang Zitao mentioned that she had a bucket list of things she wanted to accomplish, but that part was never really explored further. I would have loved to see more of that side of their relationship throughout the show but we got that closure in the end so it’s fine.

Overall, I’d give it an 8/10. It has a great storyline, actual plot, likeable characters, and a beautiful OST. I also really loved how they showed us previously unseen clips of conversations near the end of the drama. Those little details made the storytelling even more enjoyable.

Despite the things that bothered me, I enjoyed watching this one. 💗
