Summary in few sentences
I cried rivers, I laughed tons. I've skipped some lengthy shots, I had my guts clench in anxiety. Overall it was so brilianty done it made me feel...The acting was... really good, you could believe they were immersed in characters and knew them. and the music made it even more believable. Nice usage of Chinese ancient music yet epic modern when needed.
Just warning it's lengthy. If you don't have time don't start it because it's made a way that wants you to watch it all at once :)
And second warning. if you are sensitive, perceiving bring a box of tissues. I really cried a lot. Sometimes out of happiness, sometimes out of sorrow.

Lost brains
I'm not gonna lie but I think all of the female characters just lost brains suddenly around EP23 and then suddenly found in EP30. I usually don't comment but wtf happened there was mystery as hell even to me.In the scene in EP1 in hotel was FL giving off 'I'm smart female character and I'm awesome' yet somehow it became 'oh oops help me' and ended with pikachu faced moment of 'oh he is the perpetrator'... FOR BOTH OF THEM!
You could see the villains from early on so no surprise there... And the way characters were just falling into traps was... at least hilariously easy.
For me, the plot was promising at the beginning. And it should have ended a lot earlier cuz some scenes later on were just plainly boring or totally hilariously out of the characters' characters.
What saved it were little Chesnut and male actors that actually performed really well. So well I got disgusted by Minghao. And pitied ML cuz of his suffering. And Oscar was actually really nice variegation from all the drama.

One of the best I've seen
I love the story really a lot. It's not an unusual concept in kdramas, that they are special to each other, but in BLs where always all are about engineers or doctors, then, well, probe and mono are something new.I really hope that there will be a second season because the last episode left a lot of unanswered questions, but guess I can read the novel too to get answers early.
I can honestly say that I will rewatch it, probably many times, lamenting how short the story is.
And despite the actors being relatively new, they pulled it really heroically. The main Yeonwoo, I could really belive he that he had no other choice than to do it. And Yoohan's actor was the same. steady perfomances slightly getting better towards the end :)
For me this drama was something I had really enjoyed watching and I'm looking forward to second season, hoping that it would be now full-length.
