Took forever to get through
Where I watched: iQIYI (subtitles were sometimes a mess and were missing in some of the texting scenes)Chemistry: meh, I’ve seen better and I’ve definitely seen worse
Date started: 10/26/23 Finished: 11/17/23
Overall thoughts: The first 5 episodes were soo slow and boring and the storyline just went around in circles, it honestly felt like one big ad for 7-Eleven. By episode 6 it did start to slowly pick up but by that point I was already annoyed by the characters ?. It had some good spicy scenes. Definitely will never rewatch.

Meh
Definitely agree with the other reviews, this felt way too rushed, especially the last 4 episodes. The acting was....okay, super cringy at times, I had to pause the video to regroup. There were also a lot of flashbacks that were not needed, especially when the episodes were around 15 minutes each, there was no need to remind me what happened 3 minutes ago, it felt like they just needed to pad the runtime. It also felt like they tried to throw way too many tropes into a roughly 2 hour long series. The song also kinda grows on you as you watch, wasn't the biggest fan but by the last episode I was singing along lmao.Was this review helpful to you?
Nothing special
Where I watched: iQIYI (once again subtitles were a bit off and some missing during the texting scenes)Chemistry: Same as the main series, meh
Started and finished: 11/17/23
Overall thoughts: This definitely could have fit into the original 10 episodes of some of the repeating plot was taken out, especially because all the main episodes were an hour plus long and this was only 30 minutes. The cat scene was pretty funny and the spicy scenes were good but overall still kind of boring. Definitly happy to have this series be over.

Everyone gets shot
For real though, it seems like everyone does get shot in this show and the first aid non-existent. Good story though, and good acting. Sound quality was extremely good for a BL (they usually wear mics under their clothes that pick up everything or nothing). The music used in this was also really good, added a few to my spotify playlist lmao. Not the spiciest BL out there, I'd say middle to low tier but the chemistry was so good. It had some really great quotes and deep scenes. Definitely made you sad in a few parts.Was this review helpful to you?
