These are one of my favourite couples in bl world. I’m someone who rates the chemistry between characters very highly, as I think it goes a long way in establishing the characters, the believability of their feelings and it helps sell the story. I prioritise this over many technical aspects and shortcomings of a production. Thankfully, this series does well in all aspects. It’s a good balance of strong production and strong portrayals.

I would actually rate this an 8.3 but MDL doesn’t allow you to do that.
