Started off strong but failed to keep it together

Sick of tried and tested BL tropes? Want something *fresh* and *original*? Great. But don’t get your hopes too high up.

This parallel universe thing is mindbendingly confusing but makes for such an intriguing premise. For the most part, you won’t have the full picture of what’s going on. Does it all make sense later on? Sadly, I don’t think so. The writing is a little haphazard and lacks proper flow. Most upsettingly, Cir’s character turned out to be supremely problematic and downright creepy. (In my humble opinion of course.)

The conclusion ends up being overly simplified and unsatisfactory. Central to the story is Cir’s big secret and his valiant attempt at escaping from the trappings of his life. The final episode tries to tackle this in a hurried fashion, and largely doesn’t succeed in providing a reasonable conclusion.

But the chemistry between Boss and Noeul is epic as usual. It's serving like it should. You can look forward to that.
