Great series

Overall another great production from the same director and writer who created Crossing the Line. Decent acting and great chemistry between the leads. The heteronormative dialogue in the last episode irked me but it was minor.

Right off the bat, tsundere Tang and brash Meng have great chemistry and soon thereafter they were abducted and shackled together, which makes for some nice tender frenemy scenes. They're both cute in their own way. Come to think of it, they're basically the same personalities as the main characters in Crossing the Line! The cop sidekick Zhao is stupid-cute. He's kidnapped by the red-headed, sly but jolly sidekick of Tang to ask for Tang and Meng's location but became friends. Great chemistry again.

The premise is cool for a gay series, not just some highschool/uni romance. I feel like series/movies featuring adults would be safer from being pigeonholed by BL stereotypes or genres since they would likely have been in relationships and aren't confused about their sexuality. This establishes that they are gay/bi and not have their sexuality removed from the series to create a sterile situation for straight people to fetishize queer men. Tang is established/rumored to be bi, and he kissed an associate to rile Meng up. Meng is never ashamed of liking Tang. And the director doesn't shy away from showing "adult" affection between the two. I don't like that Tang's sister called Meng sister-in-law but I guess that's her way of joking and riling Meng up. Meng himself doesn't mind, and even said it's perhaps fitting, meaning he's a bottom. Still, the script isn't written by a gay man - it's heteronormative.
