The best BL series ever!

I have started watching BL series since Sotus and so far no BL series has made me love it and moved me as much as this series. Why do I think this is such an excellent BL series?
1. Handsome cast: a series with so many good looking guys can never go wrong (except Check Out maybe :P).
2. Great acting: Gemini and Fourth are great actors that make us fall in love with the characters, but not only the lead actors, the other actors are all well acted (e.g. mark Pakin is funny as hell, and the fighting scene in episode 11, Fourth, Winny and Ford really stole the show with genuine emotions). I also like how they improvised in many scenes (e.g. pinky fingers, first kiss in forest) and they kept going on professionally.
3. Excellent chemistry: there’s no denying that Gemini and Fourth has great chemistry, they give us the vibes of young teenage first love that makes us swoon over and over again. Another pair, WinnySatang, also developed great chemistry as the show went on.
4. Storyline: a lot of fans are hesitant with high school love and they tend to be repetitive, toxic or over dramatic, but not this series. Yes the storyline is set in and about lives in high school but they also infuse a lot of elements e.g. family, future, discrimination, fails and how they get back up again. I was moved to tears several time in scenes like Gun’s mother in hospital, healing music scene, graduation and Once Upon A Time scene.
5. Attention to details: I like how the team has attention to every detail, like the scrabble in different episodes to show Tinn’s emotion and at the last scene showed The End, like how they showed Gun and Tinn’s first day in school in parallel in episode 1 and 2 etc.
6. Direction and filming: the filming is of good quality and the editing is tight, there is no unnecessary scenes everything is related. I especially enjoy how they change Chinzhilla’s position from performer to listener in Healing scene, and how everyone is saying goodbye in Once Upon A Time scene, not to mention the Pinky finger scene which is excellently filmed.
7. Unbelievable OST: be it a cover version or a new song, this series is jam packed with quality music production and each and every song can cater the scene very well. Not only are these songs well written, the singers (mainly Gemini, Fourth, Satang, Ford) are unbelievably good and professional, that you can never guess their day job as actors during listening.
I could go on and go but I think you already got the point. It also goes to show that you don’t necessarily need a lot of NC scenes to make a series great. I applaud to the cast and crew for creating such a wonderful series that makes me laugh, cry and genuinely happy for a whole 12 weeks. ?
P.S. this has been my number 1 BL series, out of over 150 series I have watched so far that’s how good it is!
