This show is fucking incredible so far. I really cant believe how well done it is. I hope they stick the landing in the last few episodes because this set up is amazing. Both couples are super interesting, the acting from the leads to every supporting actor is on point, the writing is balanced and well paced, the direction is effective, the cinematography and lighting is beautiful... Even the sets are so thoughtful and well designed. I appreciate that all of the characters are 3 dimensional with their own motivations and sympathies, no flat villains or perfectly innocent heroes.

I was just watching it and thinking this. Like i'm actually SO floored at how good it is... Every single aspect is so well done. I had faith that it would be good but it has really exceeded my expectations in every aspect.

criminally low rating for such an amazing series. MDL ratings always need to be taken with a grain of salt but this one is truly crazy. The acting is perfect, the tension goes crazy, well written script and thoughtful story, great characters, well made production with artistic merit... what's the issue??

Really glad that GMMTV terminated their work with the director after his disgusting sexual harassment comments on social media. Hope they take their protection of artists seriously in the future and continue to address this kind of behavior in the company.

GMMTV released a statement that they will no longer work with the director

The ONLY reason this is rated so low is that its starring OffGun and they have set the standard very high. For any other CP this would be seen as an amazing performance and people would love it. Its not cringe and the acting is good. I think after Not Me people just had super high expectations for OG series, and this didn't meet expectations, which is fair enough. But it's not a bad show by any means.

I just rewatched this series and it honestly gets better every time. The atmosphere, the cinematography, the acting, its so beautiful. I can revisit it again and again and it still breaks my heart and heals it again every time. One of my all time favorite GMMTV dramas, and one of their best BL works in my opinion.

this series is great. MDL ratings are way too low. The actors did an amazing job, especially chen ye sheng. I really hated him at first and then suddenly saw through the cracks to the repressed and traumatized person underneath... really interesting series. And the critique of censoring BL works for funding as well.. interesting.

This show is so unfairly underrated. Its so good and has really amazing acting performances. But since it doesnt fit into a perfect cookie cutter then it wont be rated as highly as a more generic show.

unfortunately i think a lot of BL fans will poorly rate anything that deviates from the standard BL plotline and story progression. I heard a lot of complaints that it was too scary, too complicated, and a bad ending. I totally disagree with the criticisms but such is life.

Unfortunately its not on MDL because it was released in Singapore. MDL really needs to change their hosting rules.

It's definitely giving "Plot? what plot?"

Wow I'm so glad you figured it out!!

This series has become a comfort watch for me in a weird way. The moodiness and beautiful acting keep me coming back.

Its a happy ending though?

I was so happy to see him! Sparkle in your eye is so good too.

Thank you so much!

Wow I really thought I had watched every Chinese BL series, but I had somehow missed this one. So so great especially with the lack of budget and production. It was a wild ride but also delivers SO much and really makes me wish China continued producing uncensored BL. The actors really killed it.

I think ive watched this series 100 times since it aired

I need the idol couple to get their own full length drama!!!
