Here's my disclaimer: .I'm a middle aged white woman and discovered BL quite late in the game. So quit reading if my thoughts wouldn't be worth your while.....all set? Ok.

I loved, loved, loved this series! Just enough action to keep the plot moving, but with SO MUCH character development and depth. Just enough romance, but with sex scenes that actually make sense and, like the action sequences, keep the plot moving along. I watched this on IQiYi, and really enjoyed the option of watching all the little extras with the cast.

It's very well-put together - staged, sound, music, and just the right amount of silent pauses with the main cast, particularly Kinn and Porche. I loved how Porche went to his former boss to ask for dating advice, and how Pete sensitively gave Kinn advice on how to tone down his frustration when talking to Porche. Sure, there were corny bits done just for laughs, (weird almost kissing scene between sleeping Pete and Porche, for example) but all in all, the comedy was at least giggle-inducing.

My only critiques would be when Vegas speaks English out of the blue. Why? I mean, his diction and American accent are pretty decent, but like many tonal language speaking actors, the delivery was quite flat, which I find annoying and distracting. I was also confused by the trailer scenes not ever appearing in the actual series. What's that about? Were they playing around with creating scenes before actually putting the series together? I've tried googling deleted scenes to see if they were just cut for time, but no such luck. And finally, some of the plot twists after episode 8 were just extra - like the whole sequence near the end with the fake death of the dad and the sudden appearance of mom) but, hey, they had to fill in the 14 episodes, right? (I have this critique for many, many, many series. so nothing new to see here.)

I never watch things more than once - at least until I've forgotten the details. But I'm watching the first 8 episode for the third time at the moment.
