I loved the story
Story is original, beautiful and not shallow like in many BL dramas. It can be seen that they wanted to make good drama. There is a lot of characters but the viewers had opportunity to get to know them.I would rank this drama higher but in my opinion main couple lacked chemistry between each other. Individually they've showed good and convincing acting but when they were together although it was not bad it was also not fully convincing. I only started to feel some realistic connection around ep 10 before I was actually confused what type of feelings especially actor playing Jom wanted to show. I couldn't really get into his emotions for his partner for most of the drama which originally made me drop this drama at ep 8 but later on I rewatched it. Also ending could be better explained and although story was very interesting it was also sometimes inconsistent but generally speaking I still love to see well made and interesting BL dramas.

Wel...
Episodes are short but if combine them all it could be a full length movie. Taking that into consideration I feel like it's one of those BLs made just to gain clicks. Even tho there was so many short episodes the story almost felt repetitive and predictable.Honestly in many BLs it can be sensed that actors are not comfortable with kissing eachother and that's one of those BLs. Tense closed lips so that it would pass as a BL and gain views but I feel like actors were trying to not get intimate. Unfortunately many BL are made either just for money or as a test run for new actors to gain popularity quickly. I would love to see more BLs that are taken more seriously not as a easy money without proper attention to details. It's not tragic tho. It's just nothing really to remember.

Toxic but immersing
Japanese BLs are very good at showing more serious or raw emotions. Actors surely did a good job with showing their characters and progression of their relationship and struggles was well executed. I wished they would be more story aside from showing only characters and a little bit of their background but for the limited time it was great watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Lately popular topic well executed.
Series about hearing disabilities are lately popular but they did really good job at presenting it. Actors showed their characters very well and you can see development of their friendship. When it comes to BL side I'm not sure if I felt the chemistry between them that much but I still recommend to watch it. Japanese BL series are one of my favourite they never disappoint.Was this review helpful to you?

Wasted potential
The idea of the story was really nice but I guess besides the idea not much work was put into making script actually interesting.Both couples are popular and good looking and they both usually have good chemistry on screen so proper script would make it a hit.
Instead I got kinda disappointed. Either this story doesn't fit them or maybe they didn't have enough time to properly record some scenes but bdsm FirstxKhao scene seemed so cringe that I couldn't watch it. I was actually bored of overusing s*x plots without any build up. It felt like director was just thinking "we need to show them "having sex" a lot and then we will add bdsm so it will sell". I should have checked the director tho. He also made Only Friends and apparently wanted to stick to "sex" concept. Well some people will like it probably but for me it lacks depth. Therefore although both couples are one of my favourites I dropped the series. I hope I'll be able to see them in another one with better story.

Good chemistry between actors
When I watch BLs I feel like I'm on a desert looking for a good chemistry between actors and fortunately this BL gives that. Actors portray their characters well. Story is sometimes inconsistent but generally speaking it's really nice BL to watch. Not awards winning but definitely not a waste of time.Was this review helpful to you?
Original story.
This drama have truly original and beautiful story. It shows struggles many of us had during growing up and that life is not just unicorns and rainbows. It's shows more realistic side of life. Also the fact that they were able to show years passing in such a great way even thinking about changing phones or apps they were using. Great idea. It is a BL but I didn't feel that intense romantic mood between actors. They could work a little bit more on music and showing how each character came to an understanding of their feelings for each other. I felt that it was not that well presented from perspective of every character. If not for that then I would consider this series one of the best.Was this review helpful to you?
