This is the one of the best series of my life!
Tian performs his role to perfection. A character who clearly starts as a red flag and gradually evolves into a green flag, and that transformation truly works because of the actor’s skill. He conveys emotion without exaggeration, and much of what we feel comes simply from his eyes, the pauses, and the micro-expressions. Nothing feels forced or empty.
Ziyu is equally impressive. Even in the more intense and stylized moments, almost anime-like in tone, his performance never becomes cringe, which is very rare. He balances emotion, vulnerability, and restraint in a very natural way, always keeping the character believable.
The story itself is excellent, especially in the first part, when they begin to fall for each other. The relationship development is careful, gradual, and emotionally coherent. We see interest growing, hesitation, restrained desire, all built in a very organic way without artificial rushing.
It is even more admirable knowing the series was made with a limited budget. Nothing feels cheap or careless. On the contrary, you can feel the dedication, the smart creative choices, and the respect for the story they wanted to tell.
Above all, the strongest point is the acting. Unfortunately, in many BLs we often see inexperienced actors without much talent, relying only on the genre itself. That is not the case here. These actors truly know how to act. They work beautifully with micro-expressions, silence, and emotional tension. There is truth in their performances.
It would honestly be a dream to see them together again in another series.
