The Chemistry Was There, but the Story Wasn't
What I can say is that the directors literally ruined what could have been a huge hit.
Coming here after watching *To My Shore*, *Deep In*, and *Double Helix*, I had pretty high expectations. I know these dramas aren't made by the same production team, but after seeing so many great Chinese BL series, it's hard not to expect something equally impressive.
Ming Xuan and Shen Mo actually had really nice chemistry, but unfortunately, the production never managed to build the right amount of excitement or emotional tension around them.
At some point, it genuinely felt like the writers had run out of ideas and started throwing in unnecessary filler scenes just to keep the story going. The constant time skips made everything even worse. They were so confusing and poorly handled that it became difficult to follow the storyline. If they knew from the beginning that they were going to rely so heavily on time skips, they could have at least used different color grading or some kind of visual distinction to make the timeline clearer.
Overall, watching this drama felt more like a chore than something I could actually enjoy. If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have dropped it much earlier.
Usually, even when a BL starts off slowly, it eventually picks up around the middle and delivers its best moments. Unfortunately, this one never did. From the very first episode to the last, it remained a disappointment.
Such a waste of good chemistry and what could have been a genuinely great story.
