*outline*
This is another one of those dramas I've watched where my first impression on it wasn't all that excited. But I'd heard about this drama from many sites and sources online so I finally got around to watching it.


*thorough*
STORY : It's a very cliche plot, from the beginning to the end - mind the rest of the ships though. I'll admit, most of the ships I didn't expect but while I watched the series I started imagining each relationship more and at the end I just ended up loving each couple equally. However, the confession scenes for the side couples were the best, the main couple's confession scene was way too longed out. But it was constructed that way for a reason, so I totally understand. Even the rejection scenes were to die for, but thank goodness this drama didn't make me cry too much. Yeah, sure, there were many climaxes that kept getting in the way of their relationships but no one stayed mad or angry for too long, and before I knew I was smiling at them like an idiot. The pace for this drama was perfect too, not a single scene was wasted. I just wish there was a more finished ending to the series but S2 is out soon and I'm starting on that ASAP. I also realized how deep my love is for BL. I'm practically married to the ships--- fite me :0

ACTING/CAST : Individually calling out my favorite characters would get too long so I'll just say my general take on this series was just way too good. The main couple, though, were perfect for each other. And this is probably one of the very few times I think this about drama. Especially when they smiled, that just changed the whole mood of the scene. They all acted so well, even the background actors. (Side note: I was actually surprised over Ryan Peng's appearance. I didn't know him before this drama but I was so confused over why he was speaking in a different language, with a different person doing a voice-over.)

MUSIC : I actually didn't like most of the tracks, but the reason I gave the music a high rating is because the music made up the whole drama. Watching through every episode, nearly every scene had background music - whether vocal or instrumental. It also fed to my love for the ships as I really vibed with the scenes and empathized with each character more easily.

REWATCH VALUE : Despite loving this series so much while watching it, I slightly doubt I'll come back to it. But I will definitely miss the characters and their ships. Probably even binge-watch some videos for the ships or the making of the drama. If it takes too long for Season 2 to air then I will definitely watch this again just to relive and revisit the story


*recommendations*
I would definitely recommend this for anyone.
'Why R U?' and/ '2 Moons' if you're into the same character development.
