This is definitely worth the watch.
I love how healthy the relationships are portrayed in this BL, which is saying something because it's not often that gay couples are portrayed as healthy. Unlike most BLs where physical intimacy between gay couples are the primary focus, that wasn't needed here. The intimacy between Solo & Gui and Phu & Kao were enough for me. It was soft and actually portrayed genuine romantic emotions between the characters. The acting was so well done in those scenes that I forgot the actors were new.
My favorite scene between Solo and Gui was when Gui couldn't sleep while staying in Solo's apartment and after Solo had woken up because Gui wasn't in bed, he casually laid on his couch with his head in Gui's lap. It was such a simple action, but that's something you do when you just want to be close to someone.
For Phu and Kao, my favorite scene is when they are spending time together and using Kao's red earbuds to listen to music. Phu just looks over at Kao and reaches over to gently brush Kao's bangs from his eyes before resting his hand on Kao's cheek. The way Kao looks at him afterwards made me swoon and my heart flutter because I want someone to look at me like that one day. Again, it was a simple action, but it was the perfect amount of intimacy.
I highly recommend watching this and I'm definitely going to have my friend watch it since she had to experience me ranting about it as I watching each episode in our discord chat.
