A Good Watch
I enjoyed this series, though I feel it could have been more engaging and dynamic in how certain details were executed. The plot introduced something fresh to BL storytelling, making the initial episodes exciting, but the pacing dragged in several places, affecting the momentum. For me, the male leads truly carried the show—they were perfectly matched, and their chemistry made their love scenes incredibly convincing. Another standout element was the OST, featuring beautiful songs that complemented the story well. Overall, it was a good watch, but with better execution, it could have been even stronger. I’d rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars.Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful and Honest
This BL series had an undeniable charm, with a lighthearted and visually stunning approach that made it enjoyable despite some narrative shortcomings. While the story itself followed familiar tropes, it could have developed the emotional depth of the romance. The relationship between the two leads had potential, especially given their contrasting personalities, which added intrigue to each episode. However, the lack of substantial development in their connection made certain moments feel somewhat rushed or underexplored. One of the most remarkable aspects of the series was its cinematography. Each shot captured the essence and beauty of Chiang Mai, turning the province into a character in itself. Despite its shortcomings, the series maintained an earnest charm, with the lead actors delivering genuine performances that added emotional sincerity to the narrative. A solid 4/5 stars for the beautiful visuals and honest storytelling!Was this review helpful to you?
Something Got Lost Along the Way
It feels like this series showed good potential at the start but lost its way somewhere along the line. The story had potential, but as it went on, things just got messy. Some scenes were confusing, and the editing didn’t do much to help. One thing that stood out, though, was Choi Min Ho’s face, the camera really loves him. So, for me, something did not really move in the right direction.Was this review helpful to you?
Gorgeous Cast
The Sign gave us something different in the BL series realm, of course the romantic angle is there but with a mix of action, political intrigue and historical fantasy and let’s give credit to Idol Factory for stepping up to the challenge of presenting variety to the audience. The cast really stood out for me, well, primarily because they are all gorgeous. Leading the pack of delectable men is Billy and his slutty waist. A real eye candy but he also gave us some credible acting. It is my first time seeing Babe and he definitely has one of the most beautiful faces in BL right now, perfect in all angles. Also, special mention is actor Gap who exudes a throbbing sensuality at the same time a sweet boyish charm. The cinematography is also something to be applauded for together with the special effects which were executed cleanly. I do feel though that there were some scenes that dragged on like the crying scenes which would tempt you to hit that fast forward button a little bit but again, commendable effort in trying to offer something that is not expected for a BL series but still making sure not to deviate far from the boys love theme. I can say that I enjoyed watching this series and looking forward for what other series this production outfit can come up with in the near future.Was this review helpful to you?
