perfect balance of sweet and heat
Can't wait for more. A classic story with good execution, a cute couple with incredible chemistry, and JUST the right balance of all the right things.
Its classic but fresh, dark but bright, toxic but wholesome, sexy but cute.
Our story is about a love jilted guy out to prove that he has more to offer his ex than her new boyfriend, so of course‐- he has to seduce him. Though its not a new trope, its cutely done, and the actors do great at subtle emotions. It doesn't feel corny or over the top, the characters are loveable and will hit you in all the feels. Production quality is high too, and it flows really well.
It's still early, but it checks all the boxes- every week I get excited for the next episode, and week by week it does not disappoint. Its been a while since I watched Counterattack so I dont think ill compare the two, but glad its getting a remake! Will update as more eps release.
Just a note, since this is a Chinese BL trying to use HK loopholes to avoid censorship, its very possible we won't see the ending of this released, so just keep that in mind-- but I still think its well worth the watch.
