It has a strong beginning. Solid chemistry between the leads with good rapport. Good soundtrack, great acting. Simple but unique character backgrounds.
I was really enjoying watching them build trust between each other.
Shi Lei’s coming out scene is actually one of the better one’s I’ve seen in BL. The acting was fantastic and emotionally impactful. Major props to the actor for pulling that scene off.

Sigh, I really enjoyed the first half of this and everything kind of went to shit when the ex returned. I don’t mind drama but I hate when the drama is all around miscommunication and indecisiveness. Stop wasting your time and mine.
And the ex’s motivations don’t make any sense. Like, you wanted to help him move on. Then give him closure like a normal person. Say you’re sorry you hurt him and that you hope he’s happy with his new partner. That’s literally the mature thing to do rather than playing weird games. What’s wrong with you dude? Sociopath behavior.
The ending also feels somewhat abrupt after all that angst, which felt unsatisfying.

Anyway, I’m honestly not sure if I can recommend this since it left me in kind of a bad mood lol.
