Best school love BL I've seen so far
I normally don't give 10/10 for everything when it comes to a show or movie but with this one, I just had to. There is really not much to say aside from a very well-known and used trope done well. The story was simple, and straight to the point with little bits of funny, sweet, and painful moments. The music tracklist fit well and the acting did not make me cringe at all. All the actors sold their roles perfectly and made it really enjoyable for me to want to rewatch it again and again.
What I do wish for is more backstory on Shi De's cousin (which I know we see a little bit more of in season 2) but it still left a few gaps here and there. I wanted to know more about his backstory, more about his relationship with Shi De. They did do the character justice in portraying his inability to feel.
I love the way the series began, a little school rivalry turned into an amazing love story for the two boys. There wasn't too much dragging on from Shu Yi's side while he came to terms with his feelings for Shi De. I understand, coming to terms with your feelings and understanding them doesn't happen overnight but I've also seen stories where it's dragged on long enough to create more misunderstandings or have other people swoop in and steal the other. For a school love, it was well balanced in my opinion.
