It's a very interesting series and the highlights are the technical aspects. The direction, cinematography and performances are excellent. The main actors are excellent and I like that the story is very different from what we usually see in BL but this should be a story of revenge and not a story of starting over.

And that's where the story starts to lose its strength. Joe is an extremely lovable character but there comes a point when he becomes too permissive and makes decisions that only harm him. And when he puts himself in the same situation that culminated in his death in the past, it simply becomes impossible to defend him.

And that's what makes the series lose its strength, especially at the end. It's a serious problem when your main character doesn't evolve. And on the other hand, we have Ming, who despite having a redemption arc, still does abominable things and is absurdly toxic towards Joe, which makes it hard to accept his "love."

And I like complex characters who make mistakes but the script here failed to develop this in a way that would benefit the characters.

Another thing I hate is when a series hints at other couples in the final episodes (the secretary Jim and the brother, the makeup artist and Sol), especially here when other couples would have been excellent to make the story more dynamic and less repetitive.

The idea is very good but the series ends up dragging a bit and I hate that Joe decided to save Tong in the end. This was a decision that made me abandon Joe. If he had died there I would have been completely fine with it. I understand that they want to create a good and selfless character, but he ends up sounding stupid and masochistic.

This soap opera ending with everyone happy is something that I didn't like at all. It's a series that could be much better, but it's still interesting and has an excellent production.
