A highly recommended comfort BL

For those who are wondering, this series has a *happy ending* for all four couples.

I watched this series because of Earth, but ended up loving every single cast. Here are some reasons why I love and recommend this series to watch:

- Comfort BL. If you are looking for something sweet, simple, and at the same time, well executed plot, then this series is for you. It covers different romantic tropes (enemies to lovers, long time lovers, friends to lovers, and admirer/fan to lovers) without too much angst and too much sweet moments. A perfect balance.
- Equal screen time. Another reason is that this series perfectly executed and mashed the four couples in one series. The main couple is not overshadowed and the secondary to fourth couples are not treated as side stories. There is equal screen time and the flow of the story to one couple to another is very smooth.
- Perfect balance of comedy, romance, and a bit of drama. Earth really improved on his acting that when he bawls in the series, I bawl with him. The comedy is well executed and the progress from enemies to lovers is so damn smooth. Not too fast and not too short.
- No toxic characters. Well, there are two. Tim, who is kind of a bit toxic, and the head counselor, but the rest are not. The main characters' sisters aren't toxic. They are not intrusive and are very supportive. There are no intrusive and over the top BL shippers in this series. The characters can even hold hands freely in the campus. The parents are also supportive and open.
- A good kind of cliché. A lot of reviewers didn't like the cliché tropes in this series. However, I got to say that the clichés in the series is well executed that I did not skip any part because of second hand embarrassment. Also, the story is engaging until the end.


Things I didn't like much in the series:

- The head counselor, but thank God that they didn't make the shipper thing progress the relationship till the end. She is funny though.





All in all, this series is soooo damn underrated. I watched Ai Long Nhai (ep 1-3) before watching this on a whim and I can say that this series is better than that. Also, I love that 'Support' is a prevalent theme in this series. This is a highly recommend series to me!! Watch it on Boyyent youtube!
