I have mixed feelings about this series
I'll start with what I did not like.
The editing was very sloppy and let the down the series. Where the series was supposed to be a bit more fast paced it was so slow that it felt extremely dragged out and the parts that was supposed to be a build up was cut short. I felt very disconnected for a lot of the series and couldn't really get emotionally invested in the characters (apart from Bank and Pitch).
The acting was also a hit and miss through out. some parts were great and other parts was like i'm watching newbies act. This could also be due to the chemistry between our leads was not so great. It felt forced and awkward (not sure who the actor is that played Sun but I actually liked his acting and the way he portrayed his character ... it was very consistent through out).
The two girls. Not sure what their part was in this apart from Sky trying to use the one to my Sun jealous but other than that they were of no value especially the part where the one chick was crying when Sun said he loved Sky. Like seriously the guy has not expressed a single ounce of affection towards you so why cry or be shocked when he doesn't like you. That was wasted air time that could have been used to iron out other parts that could have added value to the main storyline.
What I did like:
Bank and Pitch - their chemistry was great and they brought something (comedy, romance, fun and a breath of fresh air among all the drama) to the series that I didn't realised I needed until I finished the series. Their acting was also very well suited for the roles that they had.
I actually liked the storyline. Not the most original but it was a bit of a different take on this trope and I really appreciated that most of the series took place of campus (well all of the action and romance parts).
Just realised that I don't have as many likes that I thought when I started writing this review. Overall it wasn't a complete disaster like some other BL's that I didn't even bother finishing so that is already a win for this series. I will defs be rewatching (I think this series has great rewatch potential because it is light and does not require the viewer to pay a lot of attention. Great to watch as you are in bed waiting to fall asleep) this series to see if things make a bit more sense now that I have the big picture
