This series tryes to be more than fanservice, but mostly failed
I did not read the BL Novel, so I´m no insider. But I am very familiar with the genre. In the past few years there where a couple of shows that tryed to make a interesting series, that´s more than adapted fanservice. The best example from China for a BL service turned into a Bromance Series is the Untamed.
The Spirealm tried very hard. But vital elements that would explain the universe inside the series where missing. So without haven´t read the book it´s hard or imposible to understand many parts. If you have to google to understand, while the content inside the series and the plotholes overexplain the riddles and puzzles inside the doors. The viewer feels stupid and simutaniously are there missing vital information.
And I know because I researched, that it had nothing to do with the BL part, that was cut out.
I understand, that the series was banned in China, probably because of the virtual reality part, wich is very imaginative.
Story: I enjoyed the idea of the escape room game turned into a series. Sadly the story wasn´t always explained much. some characters were cut short, some information about the universe were missing. (example: why and how long do they have to wait for the next door?) 7/10
Acting/Cast: Very young actors need more experience. Sometimes flat emotions. They obviously tried and you could feel the effort. 7/10
Music: Did not fit a horror themed drama. Only one sad song that I liked, but I did not like the rest. 6/10
Rewatch Value: None for me 5/10
