Unique setting for a BL story.
First of all, I really liked the non-high school and non-university setting of the story. It was quite refreshing. Started watching this expecting it to be just a quick, fluffy story, but it surprisingly turned out to be quite entertaining and memorable.The actors did a good job, and there was a decent twist at the end, too. Overall, a better-than-expected watch.

The second half redeems it.
The first few episodes are all over the place, almost to the point that I felt that the 20-25 minutes per episode were not enough to actually explain what and why people were doing what they were doing. This issue gets sorted out around episode 7-8, when you kind of get a feel for what each character is made of.The ghosthunting thing was a quirky plot setting...but the main reason for you to watch this should be Erek Lin, who plays Amber...I really enjoyed his performance. He brought a certain subtlety to his acting, which made it really natural and enjoyable.
Overall, a good, quick watch of a story with a new type of conflict.

Heartwarming!
I really liked the storytelling, the actors, and the tone of the movie. It is a well-shot, funny, but warm story. The actors were great, and given the somewhat ridiculous setup, the execution was surprisingly realistic... all except in instances where the tiniest, smallest piece of jewelry is found in the most vast of spaces.Overall, it's definitely worth watching when in a good, light mood.

Watched it in one sitting
The story is well shot, and had so much potential to be something other than your typical BL tropes, but alas it falls short in writing.I liked the main actors, but almost every other character seems unnecessary to the plot (except the secretary). What purpose did the two brothers serve? After the first episode, none!
The love story begins unexpectedly, and the feelings developed so quickly, as if a lot of time had passed between the main couple's initial interactions, but it hadn't, which felt jarring.
But the music was great...Jeff Satur sang the beautiful OST. Exceptionally smooth voice. One additional star in the overall rating just for the music.

Keeps you hooked, even though, a bit confused too.
I started watching this blindly, with little context, and after episode 1, I came here to actually get some context about what the story is about. However, the story synopsis is cleverly obscure enough that I went back to episode 2 with more questions than answers.Still, the episodes were so well-made that, even when I felt lost in the story, I continued to watch.
I am glad that other people like this, but for me it left me with some questions and loose ends...
Still a surprisingly good watch. worth your time.
*********Spoilers**********
The timeline was a bit difficult to get my head around. The characters first met in 2019, and the current timeline is set in 2022. Apparently, one person was in their last week of the 99-day period, while the other was in their first week of this 99-day period. However, the conversation with the brother reveals that it has been three years since the second person "left"... then how is this possible? Have I misunderstood something? Anyway... it bothered me a little, but not enough to eclipse the very well-made quality of everything else.
