This drama is underrated. I've just finished watching and I loved sooo much the work of the four male leads!! It was the boldest BL production I've watched, I guess, both breaking the stereotype of the controlling and aloof seme and the submissive meak uke. All of them felt like real people – even when making stupid decisions, it was on character (cof cof, Tor). I understand they had a few problems with the COVID to finish this drama, so we didn't have all we could with the secondary couples. Also, Son and Saifah's storyline suffered from it. BUT. The ending was beautiful, everyone got to the finishing line happy, hopeful, and with closure.

The last – but not least – the actors did a phenomenal job here! I just can't believe that this was Zee's first main role. Not so much on the beginning, but from the middle to the end all his emotions were raw, it felt so real his conflicts and feelings... And Saint, after his work on Love By Chance (which is on my top 5 favorites), it is soo refreshing to see him play a character that is more complex and that actually express emotions and takes the lead. Fight and Tutor felt like equals on the relationship, both with their on struggles and difficulties (which the actors brought us so well).

And how not to mention Zon's funny, light, but also so deep character? I was ready to grade him as comic relief when he started to show other sides and try to understand himself and what was going on around him (if it was true that they weren't on a BL novel). I think he was refreshing mostly, because of the way he dealt with his growing feelings for Saifah. There wasn't the usual self recrimination, but there was doubt – and Saifah was there to give him support and help him all the way. They were complementary, and it was soo good and sweet to watch their almost naivee feelings for each other grow in contrast to the more angst heavy line for Fighter and Tutor!!

And let's not forget Zon's mom reaction to the couple her daughter was shipping on her novel: "I support you". I swear I could almost picture her saying a "jia you" or "fighting" for the two of them. It was just wonderful and funny!!

Of course, not everything was perfect. There were truly a few problems with overcrowded characters, as they didn't have chapters nor screen time enough to develop all their stories as they should. On one hand, I only noticed this because their stories felt promising and sooo funny at times, but on the other hand, the problem remains that even though they had a good ending (in the way that it gave us hope and closure), it was still rushed, and wasted so much potential! Also, Zol's story was barely there, even though she was the mastermind behind the entire show kkkkkk. She was a amazing character that I wanted to have seen a bit more of – she deserved the screen time.

Apart from this things, I was surprised to actually watch entire episodes without skipping through or fast forwarding any unnecessary, filler-like scenes (sans that ONE ep on the beach – once you watch you'll know what I mean – but that was not their fault, it was due to COVID counteract measures, so there is nothing to say on it – the fact that they kept shooting at all was a bit of a shock, actually).

So I would definitely recommend and mark it as a definite rewatch!
