Recycled concept with nothing new to offer
Here we go with another BL show with the never-ending enemy-turned-to-lovers plot, rich kids go lowkey, supporting characters with no significant roles, below-average chemistry, cliche scenarios, and those typical twists and turns.
This show has a lot of similarities with one of GMMTV’s finest BL, A Tale of Thousand Stars, transparent with its village setup. I guess they tried to get another win but obviously, they failed. The drama has nothing to impress the audience, unlike a few of BLs nowadays who had at least one to three memorable moments that once became the talk of the town. The YouTube views are high enough compared to other BLs that aired at the same time with this and yet only fewer viewers seem to enjoy the show.
Given its vibes, I am expecting to feel the warmth of the people from the small town but the drama tends to focus on showcasing the unimpressive romance of the leads. During the release of the first four episodes, I am always on the verge of either dropping the show or allowing it to have another chance to redeem itself. Thank goodness that 2x speed was invented since it saves me the time to easily watch it, wanting to see the end as soon as possible.
The good thing is, I somewhat feel like I already got the hook of the show and succeeded in finishing it till the last episode. I just hope that if ever the main lead has a new project, it should be in a more distinct nature that will highlight their roles as someone unique and charming. Also, wishing to give the supporting cast a more creative part if they will be given another role similar to their previous one.
Nevertheless, the show may not be the best I’ve watched this quarter of the year. But I still like to congratulate them for making an effort on executing a drama that talked about the importance of time in a relationship.
