Is this short, sweet, simple BL going to change your life or anyone else's? No, but it's a great version of what it is. It has classic BL tropes of Enemies to Lovers, supposedly unrequited love, an early crush on a female friend, and a kind of obnoxious side couple that should have been cut because they add nothing tangible or interesting to the story. They're sort of funny but eh... Take them out and literally nothing changes.

Realistic characters are especially important in romance stories because romance stories are only about the characters. If there's nothing real or recognizable in the lead boys, then the series is nothing but a vapid distraction. If that's what you like, then I'm not going to fault you for that but I can't stand stories like that. Zhou Shu Yi and Gao Shi De are something like people you might know in real life. Their actions and reactions to the elements of the story are appropriate and don't usually come off as melodramatic and over the top. I also like that Shu Yi had some hesitation about a potential relationship with Shi De because they're both guys. It added a nice dash of authenticity to the drama.

Yes, it is pretty ridiculous that after like a day of dating they're already talking like they're ready to walk down the aisle together but that's common enough in any kind of romance story, gay or straight.
