Let me start this off by saying that I DO like this show. It's a good LGBT+ show for China, and I love the acting, but, of course, I have a few problems with it.

The main one, without spoiling too much, is that the consent is a bit sketchy, and it took me a minute to figure out whether both of them were really into this. After I read the book, I understood the characters more, but I think shows should be able to stand on their own without prior knowledge, especially when the book is so hard to get ahold of~

I agree with their chemistry--it's no joke, honestly--but their emotions and feelings don't line up for the longest time in my opinion.

The ending is a bit of a letdown, but I primarily blame China for that because it's clear that this should have had another season (the book is SO LONG, my dudes), but still: cliffhangers are never fun~

Also, like, don't kidnap your crush and tie them to a bed, okay, kids? It's not okay. I promise. (And they just completely ignored that part, in both the books and the show, so there's that).
