It's sweet and it had potential to be a good series, premise of the story is common
This series is actually a typical BL story. The story starts off with the moment of the main characters meeting each other. I actually find Solo and Guitar's first moment to be sweet and wholesome (The warm cup of milk scene). Their subtle interactions with each other is actually pure and cute for me. As for the other couple, I find their chemistry to be lacking. Especially the actor for Solo's brother (Phuri), acting is a bit stiff for me though it's understandable that the character is uptight and serious but yeah, I find the lack of charisma in his acting that's why the other couple for me did not actually gave much of an impression to me. Although, the premise for their relationship is actually sweet and funny because Solo's friend (Kao) had to chase Phuri so that he could show his affection.
Aside from the cons of the acting, there were also moments in the series that I find to be cringey or overly dramatic. Especially, the fighting scenes were kind of funny to me. I know that it was a serious scene but still, it felt short for me.
What I do love in the series is the OST songs that were sung. I actually downloaded those two songs and I can definitely say that the My Oxygen song is still stuck in my mind on repeat and I'm amazed that the actor for Solo has a beautiful voice.
What really pains me is the wasted potential for this series. It could have been a better melodrama genre in which the scenes where Solo had to face some issues within his family as well as Guitar's financial problem could have been executed in a way that it would give more impact or impression on the viewers but yeah... The execution felt dry for me. That's why I agree with some viewers that some scenes might bore you because it felt dry / lacking.
What I do love about the series is the starting scenes. The beginning of the series actually immediately caught my attention because I thought that this series would stray away from the comedic university romance trope because I thought it would have a heavy angst or melodrama theme but yeah. It fell short for me. The ending also was really dry or lacking for me. When I was watching this until the end, I constantly had the feeling that it was missing something.
In conclusion, this series was average for me. It had potential to be an angst drama so that it could have strayed away from the BL comedy romance setting. Alas, it didn't.. :(
I don't discourage anyone from watching this because it's a matter of choice. Some people might like it, others might not. All in all, you can still be entertained in watching this even if there are pros and cons for this series... :)
