This show is kind of like a sampler of a lot of different genres. It skirts between typical Asian romance, elite university drama, sci-fi , BL... every few episodes it changes its tone. The story kind of loses focus towards the end, but the characters are likeable enough to keep watching. The total run time is probably around 2 or 2.5 hours, so you can easily watch it in one sitting.

Acting and music are decent. I wish Wayne (from History 3: MODC) appeared more. Also, I wish there was more of a focus on the relationships towards the end... hopefully they make a season 2, which could tie up some loose ends.

Given its length, I recommend that you give this show a chance.
