so is there like no romance in this... all just angst?
I'm only up to episode 7, and its mostly angst. There was some romance squeezed in-between the angst in episode 6 which was quite sweet, but its really mostly angst. One of my criticisms of Japanese dramas in general is they seem to prioritise angst far more than does a typical Korean or Chinese romance drama. In my judgement, this is to the detriment of the drama.
Stop trying to profit by stealing someone else's work. The show is freely availalbe on YouTube. By stealing t heir views, you're depriving them of income and incentive to keep making more seasons. Strop being a thief.
Trying to steal their views and therefore their income is disgusting. If you were really a fan of GL content, you would want them to succeed financially so they can make more and better content in the future. But you just want to profit by stealing other's work. You're a disgrace.

I tried to get into this drama, but I just couldn't. I found Su Yan Cheng behaviour just too annoying for me. Even though he's very self-righteous about people not lying, he's quite happy to lie to, and deceive people when its suits him. For example, in episode 5, after his injured leg had healed, he faked an exaggerated limp when he saw Bai Xiao Duo in order to garner her sympathy. He even kept his leg brace on once it was no longer needed, again to deceive her to gain sympathy. When he got busted for his deception, he lied about why he was keeping it on. Another example also in episode 5 is when he lied to his Professor claiming to have booked all of Bai Xiao Duo's time so his project parter (Su Yan Cheng) couldn't have any access to her. He hadn't. He just lied to try to keep her away from Yu Shu Bo. Anyway, clearly some people absolutely loved this drama, but its jut not for me, so I'm dropping it after 5 episodes.
An easy to watch, fun rom-com. I really enjoyed the first half of the drama while they were still at school and university. Personally I found some of the episodes in the second half of the drama (when they were working) to be a little draggy. Also, the writer's decision to have Kiran not tell Peem why she ghosted her for 7 years missed an opportunity for a very powerful reconciliation scene. Writers just seem so reluctant to write characters who are able to have an adult conversation. In terms of runtime, I think 13 hours was more time than was needed to tell this story. Tighter dialogue and cutting some of the padding scenes (and giving Pok less screentime) would have resulted in a better drama in my judgement. I thought the drama finished strongly, with the proposal scene (with all the people and the band), being one of the best I've seen in any drama. I was also satisfied with how Poon got put in his place. For fans of GL dramas, it is a must watch. For general viewers, if you like fluffy coming of age rom coms, you'll probably like this. My score: 8/10
An absolute gem. Brilliantly acted. Complex but engaging story. VERY thought provoking. Respected the audience's intelligence by not overexplaining every twist or subplot. About as close to perfect as I've seen in a modern Chinese drama. I'll be thinking about this drama for days - something I almost never do. Highly recommended: 9.5/10
If you're a GL fan, its worth your time, but I'd suggest you give it a miss if you're not.
