I hate when someone decides to make a show and invest in everything except for the story, if you don't have a proper script, don't go making a drama full of potholes with rushed ending.

Because that makes everything else seems stupid, all the efforts can be thrown in the gutter if you don't have a consistent story, and let's be honest for a moment, the whole cast are not very professional or extremely talented to save this, I've seen some shows with bad stories but made enjoyable by the actors efforts representing their characters but that didn't happen here.
I'm not saying the cast was bad, they were ok, but not enough to save whatever that was.

I appreciate everything they did and how they tried to bring back an icon in the Chinese BL history but they didn't stick to the novel nor did they replace it with a good story.

I wish next time they will invest more in a proper idea, with better characters maybe and a good ending.

I want to say something positive about it but unfortunately aside from a really underdeveloped side characters' story, there was nothing interesting about it.

Definitely not recommended show, watch the OG (yes, the one that got stopped half way through, it's more developed than this) or read the novel, if you are interested.
