1st Impression: When I first heard it, the series had me going for a conservative guy in the church, having this defining and enabling moment to pursue a love that goes strongly against in what he believes in and what he's molded to be by his family. All the while this boyfriend of his would enable him to push further and create a place that they'll grow without prejudice.

Realization:
This series is more of a statement or pandering of messages than what you would normally consider a normal or typical BL Drama. The story it's trying to tell is meaningful and enabling for those who do capture it, but for some reason it gets lost in the scenes it should have the most impact in. I would've wished to see more of the main couple's struggles instead of having the side characters push the story for them. I'm learning and intrigued by them more rather than the main CP which is in every thumbnail or poster promoting it.

Characters:
Zach - He has the best portrayal of his character. He enables every situation that would help push him and his partner forward. He gives you this determined guy that would blindly put his reputation or life on the line to pursue his goals and that one defining moment of love. The dialogues for him though, I partly disagree because they could've used his character so much better than just a purveyor of being blindly in love with a guy.

Christian - I have never experienced a monotone actor before and if I had a list, he's up there. The emotion he's trying to put out is so out of place in scenes where you have an argument, nervous, excited, embarrassed or do I need to go on? At the start I was hoping for some conviction to his faith, a certain wall Zach as to get through but it just took a quarter of Episode 2 & 3 that has like no wall breaking moment to crumble the conservative structure for someone you expect to be so closely tied to a church. I'm still trying to root for him and the best moment I saw is when he was crying to say I love you.

Antagonist: Wolf - He portrays his jealousy really well and engages in arguments dramatically to the piint I believe his stance on the issue of love for Christian.

Side Characters - The foundation of the series and the constant push of how the story progresses in an episode.

Setting: It takes place in a Church institutionalized school that would have been to be expected more conservative and strict in policies that battles the LGBTQ+ (which in all honesty was the hope for me that this series is trying to battle)

Story: It skips parts of the story you would expect a character development for the main couple. The side characters have more depth and layers that would put viewers more interested in their story. They could have approached this way better because you're telling a serious topic about religion and sudden realizations without emphasis or basis on how they got there just puts a lot of wondering and people being left to their own interpretation on how they got there.

OST - Good soundtrack and well engaged in the scenes.

Overall, as I watch the series go further, I'm hopeful that they won't skip the progressions and developments. We need that emphasis on the message that you can't let anything push you in a box and stay there for the rest of your life. I really need them engage with some of the expectations of the viewers, because its just so frustrating to see the potential be snuffed out by bad acting, skipping plots, and unbased story progression or character development.
