From ‘Not My Thing’ to Peak Obsession
I honestly didn’t expect this kind of BL to get me. To be fair, I used to stick to censored BL and wasn’t interested in “straight-up” BL stories. Back then, I avoided this one… until TikTok edits kept attacking my FYP like a personal mission. So, I caved. And wow.
This is my second BL drama watched (the first was Meet You at the Blossom), and right from episode one, I was surprised — not only because of the plot, but because Tian Xuning and Zhan Xuan popped up, and I’d already seen them in other dramas. The first episode? Peak. I blinked and suddenly it was the middle of the night because I couldn’t stop watching.
Every character here gives something. The plot is tight, and that’s honestly what kept me invested until the end. I’m not really into watching behind-the-scenes stuff — it just feels awkward to me even though I know the actors are close — but the onscreen chemistry? Chef’s kiss. Every couple has a unique storyline, no filler fluff.
I do feel bad about the hate this drama got during its release. There were even rumors about the writer disliking Zi Yu (which I did not see coming), but regardless, I’m rooting for either a reunion project or a Season 2. Highly recommended — this drama really went from “not my thing” to “you’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.”
