It was cute and sweet. The main couple were good together and overall there were no real angst or big dramatic misunderstandings that went on for long.....

That said, it wasn't really an angst free situation, it's more like they were hinted at then immediately dropped? Like Nhai was shown to have nightmares a couple times. But we don't really see any of them but one later in their relationship. So, there is no real explanation as to why. I also feel like with Nhai, it's very clear he has issues. And like I understand why, it sounds like from his intro and what we see that girls see him and think he's cool and sort of get this idealized view of him and then pursue/date him and are immediately disappointed by how goofy, scatter-brained, and messy he really is and then leave him. So, he's afraid of Ai doing the same. But like...other than him having a few freak outs, it doesn't go too much into it or resolve it. And then the same happens with Ai's mom and sister and bio-dad situation. They come up...then fizzle out without any real resolution or closure. Like the sister seemed to like Ai and want to be family, but then had basically no reaction at all to her mom physically hurting and insulting his boyfriend right in front of her. Like she didn't even look upset or shocked? And then mom made all these threats only to just...leave and not come back. Also, got to say it got a little weird how often it came up that Ai was originally drawn to Nhai because Nhai looked like his step-dad.

I liked that the female character that was pursuing one of the leads didn't become a villain. She pretty quickly realized where his interests were and then basically decided to tease them and be friends instead.

I also liked the friend group. They felt realistic. Like the right mix of insults and supportiveness. Like you could imagine them driving for hours to track Nhai down when he got lost, but you also know the entire drive back is going to be them teasing him for it. Also I was laughing so hard when after he accidentally drank all that alcohol they were immediately like "okay, what was the best tasting thing here? We need to move it away from you so it doesn't end up in your bag". And they were right too.

And frankly, they're just as thick as Nhai. They literally heard Ai say, "are you mad I won't let you drink soda?...if I see you in pain in bed tonight, I'll ignore you". Like he really just admitted to both restricting his diet and sharing a bed and they were still like "nah. they're just friends :)".

Speaking of Nhai's ability to get lost, I think Nhai has ADHD. Because I relate very strongly and a lot of these could be symptoms. The getting lost, the easily distracted, food obsessions, misplacing items, special interest in travel, pocketing things that you might want later from the rubber band and shell to food (though never just loose in my bag like the sausages were, but he was drunk), etc.

The two things that I think were my biggest issues were the timing and the whole reluctant bottom/"straight" partner trope. It wasn't as much of an issue when I first watched as it was one of the first BL dramas I'd seen. But now it's just kind of...annoying having so much time when it could be developing their romance spent on internal debates about positions (as if switching wasn't a thing) and sexuality (often with a "I'm straight, my boyfriend is just an exception" conclusion). Also maybe it's just me, but I don't want to see a "romantic" scene where one person seems to be begrudgingly going along with it. I'd prefer two people in love actually seem like they're in love and want to be together.

For the timing, I couldn't quite pick up what the timeline was in terms of how much time was passing between scenes. Especially in the first few episodes. It almost seemed like official meeting, having lunch together, and hanging out at the dorms where Ai played guitar could have been the same day as Nhai seeing his crush had a boyfriend. It could also have been a month later, it's not super clear. The day after Nhai saw his crush with her boyfriend, Nhai got drunk at Ai's place and they slept together. The next day Nhai freaks out and tries to ghost Ai. And then, it's not clear if him ghosting him is all the same day before Ai tracks him down or if it's been days. Ai confronts Nhai and they decide to live together. The next day they go out on a date (and to get Nhai's bike). It seems like later that same day their friends are together and make a comment like "since Nhai got his heartbroken, he's spent all his time with Ai". Which suggests that he didn't ghost him for very long as they would have seen them apart, but also seems weird since it seems like it's been like less than 48 hours since he got his heartbroken. And then after when Nhai says he is going home for the weekend like he usually does, Ai is surprised and says he didn't know that he did that. But it's already established that he's been tracking his location since like that first day they had lunch as friends, so he likely would have known if the events had happened over more than a week or so. So like, the entirety of the events of the series seem like they could have happened in like a few weeks or the course of a full year.
