All in all, pretty standard (and sweet) show.
This was entertaining in that mindless, brain-candy way that made it easy to watch. There’s nothing wrong with that. Occasionally we just need a show to be pure mindless fun, and that’s exactly what this one was — cotton candy.
The plot was easy to follow, and the atmosphere was one of its strongest points. I really like this type of sweet BL series — with a little angst and lots of fluff. But it’s not a masterpiece by any means. This is pure GMMTV vibes through and through. There’s nothing wrong with that either.
The plot is really simple.
Sun and Bay are trying to carve out their own slice of happiness. It might be messy and complicated at times, but it’s theirs. The major life complication? Their fathers are in conflict. If you’ve watched Bad Buddy — yeah, something like that.
Boat and Kong — it’s complicated here because I liked them so much. Did I get any actual romance from them? No. Hints of romance? Maybe — though probably not (except for a few minutes in the last episode). And yet there I was every Sunday, waiting for my five-minute dose of them.
I debated hard between 7 and 8 stars for this series. A a friend let me know recently that my scale for good grades of— that “7 means alright, 8 is good but not amazing” (9 = amazing, 10 = I had a blast) is actually more positive than how most people on MLD interpret the ratings So since the show was good, I first thought 7. Then my pushover conscience got to me and I bumped it up to 8… only to let it fall back down to 7.5. I just wanted more sweet moments (especially Boat and Kong) and fewer fathers.
Would I recommend this to you all? Yes. Rounding up — I had a blast regardless.
