So I’ve kept up with this drama and I’m not disappointed. However, it’s not as sweet as I think it could be. Ai seems to be quite a sweet boy whose actually sensitive. While Nhai is this goofy but adorable character. There are countless moment where I think it could be sweeter. However Ai takes very good care of Nhai which is sweet. But like for example Nhai gets upset over small issues and it’s like played off as a joke? I’m not sure how to describe it. But for me it lacks in seriousness in some moments.

This drama is incredibly steamy. Like it’s really fckin hot. There are many scenes where Nhai and Ai like really get into it with their kissing. The chemistry is way off the charts. It feels natural and not forced at all. Which is good considering irl the actors have a 5 year age gap. It’s good that they are able to be comfortable with each other. The actors of the cast are all very handsome and portray their characters amazingly. It’s very believable.

Now for the story. The story is a bit…weird. Like Ai saw Nhai and went ‘hot damn son now that’s a catch’ It just seems a bit to unrealistic for someone to just instantaneously look at another person and fall in so much love in that moment. In a bl there is typically a problem trying to tear apart the couple but where is it exactly? People are going to say the mom but like she kinda isn’t though. All she did was demand Nhai to break up with Ai and that’s kinda it. Nothing really else happened. Then others will say the mom sent her daughter. Like yes but also no. The mom didn’t send her daughter to break up the relationship. Just to hand Ai some food and to request that Ai visit the mom. So yep. Where’s the problem? And then there’s the whole JaoNan and Ai’s dad. I’m still watching it as the last ep has yet to air but JaoNan to me seems a bit suspicious. Like he has this deep rooted hate for the mom. Like I don’t like her either but JaoNan’s hate for her seems way to deep to just be the fact the mom messed with the family. Also there seems to be quite a bit of side stories which makes me think there’s going to be a season 2 unless they can explain it all in the last ep. There are some scenes that I though could be improved. Like when Ai’s mom digs her nails into Nhai’s wrist so hard I thought she might break the skin and have him bleed. Ai was just like totally chill when he came down to get Nhai with medicine. He didn’t freak out or get super mad or anything. I know Nhai was just like complaining and whatnot but Ai didn’t seem very concerned.

I do like however that this bl in particular does a very good job of showing the process of Nhai trying to figure out if he’s gay or not. Nhai goes and visits a family friend who’s gay and asks him how to know if he’s gay or not. This bl in particular does a very nice job of portraying homosexuality. The friends don’t care that Nhai is dating a guy. Nhai’s family doesn’t care either. No one really seems to give a crap that they’re gay except the mom. Even the daughter doesn’t care. I was actually surprised to learn in the drama that Ai has two dads that live together as husbands as that was a first for me. Because most bls do not have gay parents raising a kid. But it was so perfect in every way. Also this drama is not bad with consent. I know there was that whole drunk ordeal but Ai did say stop three times and asked Nhai if he wanted him to stop. But after that Ai takes it nice and slow and doesn’t force himself on Nhai in any particular way.

Overall I really like this drama. Even thought it’s not done airing I keep rewatching some certain scenes that I like or particularly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend giving this drama a try if you’re looking for something very simple and not too hard on pulling the heart strings. This drama has nice comedic undertones where I found myself laughing during the drama. I’m actually very excited for the last episode. When it’s done airing I will come back and update this review for a better, more thought out response. This was just my take on it so far.

Update:

Alright now I have finished watching this. I’m going to miss them a lot. So let me finish my review. I’m honestly a little confused about the mom. She kind of just disappears? Like in the last ep I kept expecting something bad but it never really came. So I think the mom could have used a bit more work as the way it ended was just really like boring. Ai and Nhai are just too cute. They are so cute and adorable. They’re fun and there’s just something about the way Ai looks at Nhai that I love. The side stories however are just way too brief. Literally Ton and Chon somehow magically end up together and there’s no real explanation or anything. Nai is just like there with a broken heart and the other guy is somehow getting pursued yet nothing happens. The side characters just had so much potential and their stories are just way too brief. JaoNan and Sib are just amazing. Their chemistry, their acting, their everything. It’s just too perfect. I love them as a couple so much.

For me the last ep was kind of disappointing. I think if it was just a regular ep it would’ve been fine but for a last ep it was underwhelming. Although we did see something happen in that shoe store that I though could’ve been done a bit better. When Nhai brought Ai to the roof I thought they were going to maybe redo it but no. That definitely did not happen. But yeah. For a last ep it was eh. Nothing too exciting.

I really hope this gets a season two because there is still a lot of things that have happened that need more explanation or more things done. This drama I feel could use more work on explaining things as it kind of jumps around a lot. This drama focuses a lot on Ai and Nhai’s relationship and their character development is insane but the side characters and Nhai’s friends don’t experience a lot of character development. It’s not like disappointing but it’s something that could’ve been worked on.

I recommend this if you want a nice and light bl. There’s not a lot of heart pulling or quarreling. The mains are just so perfect with each other and this drama is actually pretty funny. Definitely give this drama a try. It’s something I particularly enjoy rewatching because it’s just very enjoyable.
