No.
I'll be very honest with this review because I have a lot to say about this series.Many people overlooked the toxic, abusive and just plainly ridiculous plot lines this series had just because of Mew and Gulf, which is very sickening to me. I can't actually believe this series got so much love with all of these aspects that shouldn't be a part of a healthy relationship. I watched this series in hopes of them correcting the mistakes made earlier in the series (sexual assault, serious bullying etc) but they just made it worse. Not only did they not do anything to show that what Tharn did to Type in the beginning of the series (rape) is not okay, they also showed physical abuse and manipulative behavior between the characters (Type mainly being the toxic one). The toxic behavior from Type was explained as him being overly jealous and apparently easily agitated but that is not a reason to punch your s/o.
What else was wrong with this series? The representation of mental illness. The total ignorance towards Type's mental illness was terrible. The way everything was displayed made me feel disgusted. I don't even have any words about that.
There is so much media that discriminates and shows only negative sides of gay relationships and ignorance of mental illnesses. It's literally 2020 so it's time to show healthy representation of gay people and mental illnesses. Tharn type is not that.

What I honestly liked about this drama was that the plot was somewhat logical. The acting was believable and there were no cringy or overly absurd parts which would have made me want to end the series (which is quite unusual for a BL series). The settings were also beautiful and there was a lot of thought on the color scheme which was a very nice thing. The emphasis on the color blue gave the whole series a sort of calming and relaxed aura and at the same time mirrored the characters' emotions.This drama is quite different to the usual BL dramas as the main characters are actually unlikable. There is a lot of cheating and the "good" people forgiving them over and over again. The main couple are sort the antagonists of the story and you can't help but feel weird about them getting together at the end.
In conclusion, this drama is definitely something you should watch. The setting and how the story flows forward is definitely worth watching but just be prepared to be disappointed by the characters' actions.

It's now been a long time since I found it and last watched it, but I still remember the feelings it brought me. Although the plot of the story might not seem as magical to me now, I'm sure that if I watched it again I would be as touched by it as I was years ago. Something that this drama holds inside it still amazes me.
I truly recommend this to everyone.
