I have nothing in particular against this series to be honest. I think my mistake was watching this without watching Kiss or Kiss me again before hand(even knowing that they're the parent stories), but I just wasn't interested in anyone else's story besides Pete and Kao's tbh. However, It kind of fucked up the series a little bit for me since this series starts out with them already being a couple(which I literally couldn't tell because all they act like is really flirty friends most of the time). I just felt like this was lacking somehow but I still think that it's my fault I couldn't build an attachment to their characters considering I missed out on most of their story. Because of this, some parts with Pete and Kao almost bored me. I still really liked their interactions and relationship but I found myself a lot more interested in Sun and Mork's relationship. It's pretty much the reason I was able to finish this all the way through. I didn't hate it, I didn't love love it either. I think it's probably a good idea to watch Pete and Kao's story from the very beginning like everyone said because I feel like I would've liked this a whole lot more. I still think the show was well done and it definitely had it's curves and twists. I think PeteKao is really cute and I've always liked their ship, even before I watched this. They're cool dudes. Maybe I'll watch the parent series and then come back to this again and change my mind. I think for what it was to me though, I still enjoyed it more than you would think I would. I think New and Tay are something special.
*EDIT* I changed my rating on this from a 7.5 to an 8.5 because I went back and actually watched Kiss and Kiss me again. Now that I have the WHOLE back story on Pete and Kao, I do really like Dark Blue Kiss more than I did before. I still wish that sometimes we had a little more intimate scenes because I genuinely think that Tay and New have the potential to produce real raw and intense chemistry(just from seeing them in interviews and hangout with each other) but I'm not going to blame or rate the series lower because of that. I know that sometimes the actors aren't exactly comfortable with that kind of stuff and I respect that.
