Like many others, I started watching this series with a high expectation set by its first episode. There was anticipation of why the two main characters were separated by 3 years and the obstacles that lie ahead of them.

The plot is perhaps my biggest disappointment. I am not quite sure with what the director has up his sleeve as I could tell many details were not explained explicitly, or intentionally kept secret so as to create rooms for our interpretation, say there is no explanation to why Tee skipped classes a lot during his third year and how he managed to get himself together and what the diagnosis of Mork's constant nosebleed was. I may say it might be too ambitious to illustrate the problems that could possibly occur in a homosexual relationship when two schoolboys are still struggling with their sexuality and identification. They seem to have a touch upon family and cultures, the sexual intercourse problem and the perception from the society but neither of them are explored in depth, and failed to offer insights into looking these issues as a result.

The characters and acting are another letdown for me. What's plausible is probably the storyline for Morn and Gord. It is simpler, but stronger than the main CP as they are indeed too early to confirm their feelings for each other, though they are deeply aware of how important they have been to each other. Even though I have read some praises of Drake's acting and his sophisticated delivery of emotions with his facial expression, I may have to disagree a bit on this as he has been showing really similar expressions in the latter half of the series, though he successfully brought me some heavy feeling, only occasionally . Frank is for sure lacking acting charm, so the chemistry between the main CP is not at all convincing for a supposedly established couple.

I actually like the opening theme as it has the youthful spirit this series should have, but the sounding is terrible as it is always full of noises. As a big fan of BL drama who have watched most of the BL series in recent years, Cause you are my boy is a fall-from-grace for me.
