It's a shame, because I really like the actors and the lore. But you have to admit that the script is pretty bad. It looks like an action movie where there is no time to explain the characters' motivations... but it's 6 chapters... they could have done better. Maybe they planned more chapters but they had to shorten it....
I hope Luo Yizhou will do well in this drama. After his bad luck with the cancellation of Youth with You 3 shortly before he won the competition he deserves good things to happen to him. he is truly talented.
Yesterday I found unexpectedly the manhua from MDZS translated into my language in a bookstore in my country (Spain) and I was really thrilled. I tried to explain to my friend why I was so excited and why the series was awesome but it didn't work.... Outside of mdl I'm a totally misunderstood person....
I honestly don't know how to feel about this drama or what to rate it. The ending felt rushed and things weren't…
I totally agree with you. I also gave it a 6. not because it's worse than others, but because it tries to do too much and doesn't get there. I really liked Ha Jong Woo, he has enough points to become famous.
but if they say so themselves... they are using the soft power of the BL to talk about oppression. from my point…
And just for fun, copied and pasted from wikipedia:
The term yaoi emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s [...] as a abbreviation of yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi ("no climax, no point, no meaning"), where it was used in a self-deprecating manner to refer to amateur fan works that focused on sex to the exclusion of plot and character development, and that often parodied mainstream manga and anime by depicting male characters from popular series in sexual scenarios. "Boys' love" was later adopted by Japanese publications in the 1990s as an umbrella term for male-male romance media marketed to women.
(I don't mean to discredit the genre, I watch tons of BL too).

I have not explained myself well. Script flaws matter, but in this particular case, I think it is more important for the authors to transmit a political message (from my point of view related to the protests in Thailand in 2020 and 2021 and the processes of oppression and dictatorial systems).
The characters themselves say that the BL is the soft power of Thailand and that they are going to use it to expose the corruption of the school. I think this is a hint from the authors in reference to what they themselves are doing with this series.
So, to me the script flaws in this series don't seem that relevant and concentrating on that makes you lose the message.
Part 4 of ep 11 looks completely out of plot. That was cute but there's no way it felt like a continuation of…

I love the characters and the progress and growth of the couples. The core of the drama still feels lukewarm to…
The entire series is about the 2020 Thai protests. The students were accused of violating Maintenance of the Cleanliness and Orderliness of the Country. . I think they can't make it too extreme because of censorship... but still they are talking about dictatorial systems, repression, collaborationism.... Anyway, I agree with you... in Not me they did it much much better.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_Thai_protests
It is very interesting that this series has escaped censorship.... Dictatorial systems, repression, collaborationism, alienation... they are talking about that in a country ruled by military governments until 2019 and in which forced disappearances and assassinations of political activists still occur today.
The whole series refers to the 2020 Thai protests where students were accused of violating Maintenance of the Cleanliness and Orderliness of the Country. Sound familiar?
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to enjoy the show all the way to the end but that doesn't mean I'm not scared of the levels of toxicity they are romanticizing.... On the one hand we have Cinderella with the drug lord and on the other... final boss level Stockholm syndrome.

the scenes of the demonstrations are pretty lame... but I think they are using the BL to talk about those issues.
