I've completed eight different BL series now, so I feel like I have a handle on what constitutes performances with good chemistry. It's hard for me to tell if the writing is weak, the acting is weak, or both are weak. Whether it was an okay script with poor performance or a poor script with a decent performance, I can't quite tell, but I feel like it could be one or the other.

The story was interesting, but not interesting enough to overcome the weaknesses in actor performances and their chemistry. It truly felt like everybody was just reciting their lines and perhaps even overacted in some scenes. Episode 9 was my breaking point. I might have dropped it at episode 8 if not for the cliff hanger.

But sadly it's enough. It's a shame because I like the premise here. The cop and the mobster. But all the character interactions leave me wanting. I actually started and finished watching two other series while trying to get through these episodes. I feel like that communicates my watching experience the best. The two series that trumped this one were Manner of Death, and We Best Love: No. 1 For You.

So despite its high overall rating, if the most important things to you are acting and chemistry then I'd recommend you skip this one.
