I loved this from the beginning. The relationships between the main two gay couples were some of the healthiest I've seen in BL. This is something I want to see more of. I could have absolutely done without the Doctor and Khim plot, though. We did not need it honestly. Would have loved to see something more for Khem's character, though. Loved Phu and Kao. Their scenes got better with each episode. really fell in love with the characters and the actors playing them do such an amazing job. I also loved Solo and Gui and the way their relationship worked. They really take advantage of the nonverbal attraction that is there in those first couple episodes and that was such a nice way to go while having Kao being the verbal flirter when it came to Phu. The couples were so different and it brought a nice balance to the sow. Like I said before it didn't rely heavily on toxic elements like some Bl I have seen or try to romanticize problematic relationship behavior. The emotional stakes are raised through external things. The family aspects particularly and working through past traumas together. The ending did leave a little to be desired in that I wish the conflicts were solved differently but not to an extent that it dampened my love for the series right now.

Trigger Warning: One issue I did have is there is drugging and attempted sexual assault scene that sort of gets brushed over. I wanted repercussions for that to happen.
