FANTASTIC WRITING AND ACTING!!!

I usually only ever write reviews either when something is extremely horrible that I want to warn people never to watch it, or when something feels so underrated that I want to give it more recognition, and this BL is exactly that, underrated ( I even created this account just to write this ). The themes this BL goes through is extremely relatable to me and a lot of others. Im still 17 but with each growing number I relate to the feeling of not having done anything meaningful in life. The themes with wanting to stray away from the daily routine but also being afraid by it is something I really appreciate that this BL portrays so well. Sometimes I get anxiety attacks and stressed out since I keep thinking about how boring and monotone my life might be. But this series shows me that sometimes it takes just one small thing like eating something new or getting a smoothie you've never drank before to make life more interesting. Moving to the actual acting and writing, I don't usually watch live action BL series because from the stuff I've watched, the actors and scenes feel forced and I get turned off by it. But with this series, the actors really feel like they've been friends for years and did a great job making the characters come to life. The scripting is also really well done. Everything flowed together and each dialogue felt like something that would happen in real life. Nothing felt out of place and the timing/delivery feels organic from both actors. Both of their interactions with one another felt very fluffy and cute without being OVERDRAMATIC cute, where overdramatic cute feels forced and uncomfortable to watch. Basically what Im trying to say is that their relationship doesn't feel forced. Overall I really love this series and It saddened me to hear it only has 5 episodes. Series like these are a rare find, I would even say this is the first BL live action series that producers got right. Im looking forward to the rest! Ill give this a 10/10 and would 100% recommend this to any BL lover <333333
