Why this BL series just didn't hit the mark for me
Even though this series didn’t seem all that entertaining at first, I still gave it a shot because there were so many good comments in IQIYI app and I’m not the type to judge a show based on low ratings. But honestly? Yeah, it kind of does deserve that 7 rating, haha.
I found it pretty boring overall, and Kuea’s character really got on my nerves. He was just so immature and full of lies. I couldn’t understand why he was living a double life, was it just to impress Lian? If so, big nope from me. I didn’t like all the pretending, especially when he was acting like some perfect “good boy” around Lian.
What’s frustrating is that his real self is actually super cool: he loves music, plays the drums, great singer, rides a motorbike, and has awesome fashion sense. I would’ve loved that version of him way more.
And it’s not just Kuea, Lian also lied. Like, why would you pretend you don’t love someone you’ve basically loved since childhood? That part made zero sense to me, and they never even explained it! Therefore, the characters were poorly written (the deception was consistent from start to finish).
I honestly almost dropped the series, but I pushed through just to finish it. Safe to say, I didn’t even bother watching season 2. Felt like it would’ve just been a waste of time.
Anyway, actors are great with undeniable chemistry so I gave it 6/10.
