This VERY short video gives you a peek in the lives of Magnus and Felix IF they got their happy ending in 2C2B4, which is bittersweet. It teases you with a "what could have been" -- a dreamy but still plausible scenario had they been given a chance to carry out a "plan" that they "discussed" during the events in the first film. It may be a bit of a fan service to those who loved the film but were left devastated -- this is not a complaint though, hehe.

Great acting from Ethan and Khalil, and the chosen song is something that you can play over and over the entire day (too bad that I can't find it on Spotify, it's in SoundCloud though)

People might be left wanting more, as it's just a minute and a half long, but you won't get tired watching it on loop

STORY
* The makers present an interesting premise and have a pretty good idea on what main events should happen, but as they strive to tell 3 love stories in 10 episodes, each running for ~15 minutes, it's no surprise that they left some arcs underdeveloped. With such limited episode time, I think it would be better to stick with the main story, and did not show any development on the "side couples" -- maybe some hints which can be explored in a different series. There are also some parts of the story that did not make sense to me or left me wondering how that was possible, but all in all it wasn't bad enough to deter me from finishing the series -- they really have an interesting start and that got me hooked throughout the entire thing.

ACTING/CAST
* The main couple actors were good, although there were some scenes where I find their portrayal weird. The side couples, I guess, did their best with the material that they have.

MUSIC
* Not bad, but not memorable as well

REWATCH VALUE
* It's still a good piece of BL drama, and if you're stuck waiting for the next episode of other BL series that you're watching, you can rewatch this one.

STORY
* Yes they used some BL tropes in this series, but they managed to mix these well with other plot devices that you see in other romantic series which I think is good and I hope with this move viewers can see the BL couples as like any other couple. I'm always watching BL series because I think there's not much in the media to represent these kinds of relationships, and I'm glad to see the creators portray BL couples just like any other couple.
* I do feel that scenes in some episodes can be arranged for better storytelling, that's why I'm not giving a perfect score. For example, in the last episode, I think they want to keep the viewers guessing on what happened after the previous episode with the time leap, but it made me confused more than I should be that when they revealed what had happened, it felt rushed and I was between making sense of what the previous scenes were and empathizing with the character after knowing their fate. IMO it would be better if they revealed their fate at the start of the last episode and focus on how the character dealt with what happened. After all, it is the last episode of the series. But all in all the creators did a good job, even though my heart hasn't caught up with my brain yet with this series.

ACTING/CAST
* The actors did really well in portraying their roles. Their skill combined with the great material really made each episode fun to watch.

REWATCH VALUE
* I might need to watch the series again -- though I feel sorry for my poor heart -- to check out on details I might have missed. But I don't see myself getting bored watching how the stories unfold again -- it's such a good series.

While there are good themes about young love being explored in the series, there are just too many stories to keep track of that some are left undeveloped or rushed towards the end. Maybe if it had more episodes then these stories would have “matured” better.

The acting is good — the artists gave their best with the material that they got. I sensed though that many struggled playing the more intimate or emotional scenes, regardless of whether they’re playing as one half of a hetero or a homo pair. I guess it is something that they can improve on over time.

STORY
The use of a "cops-and-robbers" theme sets this BL series apart from the usual stories happening in a school setting, and that enticed me to watch this. But what kept me on continuing to watch this are the wonderfully written characters and storylines. You won't find the usual all-good or all-bad characters here -- they are complex and their interactions and journeys in the series are really interesting to watch. Not using a university or high school scene in the series allows the makers to create something that's more than a love story, incorporating moral dilemmas that the characters go through as well as some relevant social issues. Common BL series plots such as coming-out-of-the-closet or unsupportive families and/or friends take a backseat (or "no seat at all") in this series, and that's fine. Although I recognize the importance of showing those struggles, other series are doing it already, and for this BL I feel like it transported me into a time when such matters are not a problem at all.

Most of the storylines were completed by the end of the series, there are some which I think were left unresolved, forgotten, or closed abruptly. But there's a good chance that you'll kind of forget those details

ACTING
Great actors working with great material equals a great show, and here you can't just say that this series is good because it has a great story -- the actors did a really good job in portraying the complexity of their roles.

MUSIC
TBH I haven't paid much attention to the music but when I did I find that the sounds chosen fit the scenes very well, so I'm only judging based on those times that I paid attention to -- thus a perfect mark.

REWATCH VALUE
HIStory always offers a different BL not only when compared to other franchises but even to their previous "seasons". The entire collection (seasons 1 to 3) showcases tons of different stories that I don't mind watching all of them from the first to the last.
