This is a coming of age gay series telling stories of a taboo relationship between step brothers. so, it’s more about figuring out what is the forbidden line and what is okay. They’re both 17yo kids trying to navigate through school, life, and a forbidden relationship. great series.

I’ve watched a lot… I think the issue is the director or the script. it makes the actors one dimensional in every wuxia series. most of these series are also based on novels, and they really have the same theme.

love this series. my only issue is the makeup, especially with SW… closeups you can see how cakey his face looks. they need better lighting and editing for the actors.
