I’ve been waiting for this drama since the casting stage. I remember clearly how it was promoted as a BL, and both the trailer and the plot gave off that vibe. However, once I actually started watching, I find that it’s not romantic at all ,I wouldn’t even go as far as calling it "bromance."
Personally, I don’t want to box it into shallow genres that set certain expectations. Doing that makes it hard for people to appreciate the side stories and character growth, instead of just looking for a romance full of sweet moments or happy ending.
​Instead, the show is about a journey of self-discovery for two people whose paths crossed at the right time. It supposed to be a "soulmate" kind of bond where they found healing in each other despite all the pressures and hardships they faced together.

I want to talk a lot about the supporting characters' stories and the acting , but to keep it short.. the casting, the acting, the plot, and the cinematography were all good,
even though the plot were "tragically depressing" but I was somewhat okay with that.
But what I found totally unacceptable though was the script. Not a single dialogue between the leads stuck with (me) or felt unique compared to other dramas. I felt like there are many points didn't get the depth they deserved,there were specific moments where I expected a lot to be built upon, but the characters' reactions kept reminding me that I was just watching a series.
I don’t know if anyone else felt this way, but I felt completely detached from the characters.
Their emotions didn't quite reach me, and I couldn't bring myself to feel deeply what they feel or get affected by what was happening.
So regardless of the genre, the marketing, or how the ending turned out, i think this would have worked much better as a movie rather than a series with Disjointed storytelling ..
