Sweet BL story about growth, acceptance and self-confidence

A sweet BL drama with a consistently sensical storyline and clear writing choices. It was a more quiet show reflecting on rather deep topics such as acceptance, self-confidence, rumours and doubts.

The story, built around a central conflict, was paced quite well. Even though it is a short series (11 episodes of about 15 minutes), it managed to show appealing characters developments and also to provide appropriate context to the viewer to understand some of the emotional injuries sustained by the leads. Too bad that given the length of the series, it was not possible to develop deeper some of the interesting secondary characters.

The acting was okay. The chemistry between the actors could have been a bit better but they still had quite a bit of very cute moments supported by a nice soundtrack and good film making direction. After a first half quite platonic, the second part of the show increase the speed of their relationship in an organic and natural way, still staying on the soft side. This made perfect sense in this atmospheric and melancholic drama.

I would recommend this to people looking for a more profound BL romance and that do not mind watching a show with a more subdued ambience.
