this series could have had such an amazing potential... everything was ruined by the lack of time. i'm starting this review with this bold statement because in my eyes it's very true and i'll explain why.
•good cast. main couple definitely had a good chemistry and they way they portrayed their characters seemed very accurate. this was Yin's 1st ever acting job and he did a good job just like War, who had some more experience beforehand; they both did their characters justice.
•characters design was good. i liked how Yin's character was tormented for his actions and didn't get a free pass immediately. War's character was cold and sarcastic which was something new to me; since we never really see main characters being bratty like that.
•set design - 10/10 amazing, especially the scenes in the club with strong red and purple lighting; so good.
•the PLOT... (insert: honey, you've got a bug storm comin' video). first of all, episode one started very badly. even though the details were not shown, we could see how one of the characters took advantage of his drunk friend. why is this sill a reoccurring issue in BL series? we will never know... but let's go back to the main topic. the plot was shortened as much as it was possible, only getting 3 AND A HALF EPISODE! this is another big issue. as i said before, this series got an unfair treatment. everything was so rushed and the plot was unrolling very fast to then slow down completely in some unneccessary parts... weird?
Overall, it's not great but it's not terrible. Definitely a wasted opportunity of a full length series; Studio Wabi Sabi messed it up. Hopefully they will learn on their mistakes and don't EVER experiment with their series like they did with En Of Love; just release a normal, full 13ep series, not 3 half-assed parts next time... :/ thank you!
