Wasting 24 episodes
Honestly, the series is good and interesting, or at least most of it. The chemistry between the characters is interesting and captivating. However, the last few episodes significantly lower the rating in my opinion. I feel like they wasted the potential of those 24 episodes. The action starts slowly at the beginning, only to pick up too much towards the end. They should have balanced the story more.The writing in the last few episodes is truly poor and weak, as if it was written in a hurry because there wasn't enough time. In the last three episodes, I couldn't help but feel that a large part of the story had been removed, making it a bit boring to watch. The action was artificially sped up, and yet not everything was explained (I still don't understand why Wang Shuo engages in a water pistol fight with them in the last episode).
I have a terrible feeling that people are overrating this drama because it's uncensored Chinese BL, not because it's actually that amazing. I understand the hype; a high rating might encourage more Chinese BL dramas to be made. On the other hand, inflating the rating just for that reason is akin to inflating the ratings of a series just because you like the actors.
Well, that's just my opinion. I'm someone who rates a show based solely on how much fun I had watching it. The series was a solid 8.5/10, but the final episodes may have dropped the quality. So, my final rating is 7.5/10
English is not my first language, but it is the only language in which I can watch dramas, so I hope my opinion is understandable.
