I am enjoying this series. The chemistry and maturity of the two main characters, Qin Xiao and Qi Lu, are wonderful.
The second couple, Liu and Tan, is more of an issue for me.
There's not much chemistry, and I don't understand why a glaringly obvious solution to the "you look like my dead brother, therefore I can't love you" arc hasn't been acted upon: Tan could VERY simply just color his hair, so he would not resemble the dead brother. It's good that they've gotten to the stage where they just full-on confessed their feelings, but it still feels squicky that Liu is attracted to a much younger boy who STILL looks just like his dead brother. It's just very uncomfortable, at least for me. CHANGE TAN'S HAIR COLOR is all I'm asking.
That was super cute, but it was ridiculous that they didn't kiss. BL has become so chaste that it borders on homophobic,…
You have to keep in mind that some of the actors in this series - including the actor playing Noh - are quite underage in real life. There are some 14 year olds in the cast, and the actor playing Noh is 15, himself.
So there are probably legal issues with actors under a certain age engaging in stuff like kissing. And especially in case their parents or guardians are on the set, too.
The two main characters are HALF BROTHERS (they have the same father), so if it were a BL, it would be about incest.
But it's NOT a BL, so that's not an issue.
Second......the ending is kindof a cliffhanger, so I'm hoping for a second season.
I mean.....the series **could** end, as is, but.....there are a few unanswered questions and that ending has "second season" potential. I guess we'll see what happens.

And that's all I'm going to say. No spoilers.
