Repetitive and cramped storyline, but the chemistry between the main leads makes it worthwhile

Considering the repetition in high school/university students falling in love storyline, it feels like the production company has given up on creative writing and storytelling. Having watched Never Let Me Go, this severely pales in comparison and it is laughable that Phuwin and Pond were given such a series to pursue. The series again fell into the major fault of making everybody date each other, which to me is sluggish writing.

Despite the poor writing, I must applaud Phuwin and Pond for their amazing chemistry. Phuwin is generally a better actor and his character allows him to act and not just look pretty (in a similar way to Never Let Me Go). I find that Pond is a weaker actor but I appreciate that he never looks awkward when he's paired with Phuwin. Really love this pairing. They definitely deserve a better plot and setting to play with.

All in all, the production company needs to wake up. The BL industry is changing. Queer characters should be incorporated into drama series with a well-written plot and production instead of a basic drama with no creativity just to earn the BL bucks. (Shoutout to I Feel You Linger In The Air).

Refreshing BL storyline

A major departure from the usual high school/university romance which is extraordinarily refreshing. I like that the production adopts a more mainstream approach for a gay romance with a touch of fantasy and history. Major improvement in acting for Daou and Offroad in comparison to Love in Translation. I like that there aren't other love stories conflated into the series which would have taken the spotlight off of the main couple and diluted their storylines. Instead, their method of introducing and integrating the side (but significant) secondary characters is superb. Great comedic values from the series especially given that it is meant to be a soapy drama (love the goofy villains). Cinematography is also good. Love the colours. There weren't many iconic songs made popular by the series, but the music/background instrumentals chosen were top notch. They added so much sentimental values to each scene and episode. Overall, a superb drama series. I have already watched it twice. Will definitely watch it again when I need a dose of laughter and Daou+Offroad!
