Would have been 9/10 stars if not for the BS ending
Do not watch past EP 10 unless you like being angry with nothing to aim it at... There better be a season 2... Cause WTF was that??The most BS ending I have come across in my BL experience. I am so livid. I am angry on behalf of the poor ML who has already been through so much, and abandoned by everyone else in his life.
I know its only a show, but this drama elicits too many hightened emotions. It honestly up to ep 10 is sooo worth it.
The acting, the glances, the emotions, the angst and turmoil. The brotherhood, the connection, the love and maturity, the friendship. All thrown right out the window. I have never wanted to slap the shiizer out of a ML so bad. But the acting and actors are truly that good.

First Taiwanese BL and it did not disappoint.
I did not know what to expect coming into this show, as I started watching after seeing a vid of one of the NC scenes, but my god I fell in love with the show and the characters in the first 10mins. By the end of the first episode I was hooked.The story and the characters were portrayed amazingly. Did I wish the episodes were longer and that the story didnt end where it did? Yes.. Which is why it gets 9 and not 10 stars. Will I watch it again? Absolutely.
It is a rom-com, heavy on the comedy, with witty lines, and humourous characters and the different dynamics seen. It is true fluff with only 1 or scenes with any real drama that is not followed or has humour running through it.
I cannot recommend this drama enough.

Its so good it made me cry.
After reading the reviews I almost didnt watch, but Im so glad I did.Is the main character an ass? Yes. Is he a lovable ass? Also yes.
The main part of the series is set in 2015 so unfortunately the main character suffers from comphet & internalised homophobia - but you can see him soften and learn to accept himself and his feelings
This is not really a feel good series, but by the end I was in love with all the mains. My faves being Pear & Pisaeng cause they are the purest most good hearted characters. And watching Pisaeng push Kawi's buttons was so entertaining.
Hopefully you will understand and learn to love Kawi the way i did through all his flaws and brash nature. He is selfish, self centered & hard shelled but he does soften as the series continues, and truly shows he does just want the best for those around him.

The slowest of slow burns
After reading other reviews of this show, i was skeptical. But I honestly loved every minute of it. It is the slowest of slow burns, but the journey was worth it. The angst, the shyness, the sass, the quips, amazing. Its a show that makes every glance, every touch seem meaningful. Could it have been better? Of course, but for its age, budget and unknown cast, spectacular. I can truly see why these actors became the leads and seniors of GGMTV. - its also the first ever show Ive watched the BTS for as well cause I loved it so much..Sometimes the sound is not so great on the episodes, but it doesnt last super long, thankfully. If you cant stand bullying/ hazing, dont watch this, but if you can take it for the enemies to lovers trope that it is. The characters antagonising each other is so worth it. Singto and his character *chefs kiss* - Krist really made you feel angsty and shy with him,
The characters are real, although slightly exaggerated, and it works.
