I'm Surprised I Finished the Series
Never did I ever think I'd come back and finish this series and never did I ever think I'd rate a BL series so low.
The positive first. I love the actors in this series and I adore the chemistry (or what little they gave us of it) Man and Ben are able to create through their characters in this show. I can only hope that they get another series together with a better relationship. The only thing keeping me going for the majority of this series was the second couple but I shouldn't be putting all my focus on the second couple, I should be rooting for the main characters who mid way through the series I could care less about...
Now for the negative.
My god, we started out with such a promising storyline but episode after episode I wonder does Pat even like Jeng, more episodes go by and my patience is STRUGGLING. I don't mind a slow burn but you can't have a slow burn if there's nothing to burn! There's just little to no relationship in existence for the majority of this series; the pacing in this show really got the best of me.
I'm usually very lenient in my ranking and neutrally enjoy almost anything, all I ask for just some kind of acknowledgement of any sort of feelings, but instead we get radio silence for all of 8-ish episodes with no relationship progress whatsoever.
And just when I'm about to give up Episode 9 rolls in and we're finally getting some where, but alas this series is only 12 episodes so too little, too late. Episode 10 was lovely but it should've happened 5 or 6 episodes ago so we can truly explore the relationship and properly deal with conflicts not shove them all in last minute. Maybe I'm too impatient but this series was truly a waste of time and a waste of talent to me
