A huge step for Omegaverse and Ch BL but with room for improvements
As a smut-o-meter-judge, I judge this to still reach a good decent level of quality intimacy scenes.
I know you all thirsty out there want that tea :P
That said, don't expect Hollywood or other high quality series/movies level of delivery.
It is still withing that kinda B-level of fake kisses and comical bed shake humping experience.
But I still feel they made it flow, it wasn't horrible to watch and enough believable.
The story wasn't all about just relationship and romance but they did squeeze in some typical corp wars.
Sure, it was all in a ridiculous fake level, that at times it felt more as a decor than part of the story, but when we enjoy things, we tend to become temporarily blind right? That's how I felt with this drama.
All B and C-level budget and fake stuff could be ignored because the story had a flow.
Now to spoilers part:
This is why I went from a 9 and almost dropped to a 6 in grade for this; the ending was so so horrible, I wish I never saw it.
They did not just cut corner, they jumped off a cliff without the hanger. They skipped such a huge portion of the story and rushed an incomplete and mumbo-jumbo ending.
It did not only left us hanging in what happened but it twisted a good story into something cheap, especially the second part of the last episode.
I personally felt betrayed af and robbed of the SL CP. Their story has been like a teaser the entirety of the series and just as many of us was hoping for some screentime, some closure in the last episode, it became instead worse. We never got to see past the revelation meeting and the timeskip just made it worse.
As for production, acting and scenery, I'd still give it an A+
I loved the Enigma take and how they chose to portrait it.
Chinese censorship did not only took vacation, I guess it went afk for unforseen time.
Eliot aced his role and easily became an actor (and character) I loved to hate, the biatch that kept me craving for more.
The scenery of the houses and building, cars and clothes...daim, wth budget did they have? It was kind of insane for a BL.
I've seen Thai BL splurge, but this felt bit more.
The music fitted and wasnt too much or too little. Kudos for that.
To summarize:
It is a drama worth to watch but beware the last episode.
It is a love drama but I'd say it is more a romcom.
Not too hard too watch, smut is just on PG level really and it is more the semi kinky suggestive scenes and the makeout that makes it a little NSFW. If you ignore a lot of nonsense, you will enjoy it a lot.
For a Chinese BL this brought me so much joy (or rather, HOPE) that I now keep longing for more Chinese BL and that Immortality might be released..
This is how I feel about it, others might might not agree.
