This series is over rated and disappointing.
Don't get me wrong I love the actors and the first half of the show. I even re-watched the first few episodes just to ease the pain of waiting for one whole week for the next episode. As I said, early episodes were good. I thought they had chemistry and spark. The plot was also good and promising BUT.....As the story progress it also lost its spark. The plot became repetitive, the side stories were set aside, the conflict became lame, the character development was nowhere to be found, in short the script/screenwriting became too dependent to the popularity of the show and the visuals of the actors. If the actors of this show were not good looking, this will be criticized heavily but since they are both handsome and popular, the bad storyline and acting was overshadowed.
Not to mention that they neglected the second main lead of the show which is Drake and Frank. They were literally set aside. It was so bad that it felt that they were just used to make this a BL series.
The chemistry of the early episodes was lost due to lack of character and relationship development. The last four episodes made the characters look and act too straight to be gay. They looked like friends and not a couple. The actors are too reserved to be called as a couple. Ironically this series lost its spark when the two main leads became a real couple. Sad that they are more in love when they are fake dating.
I was expecting more from this because it came from the director of Kiss Me Again and was written by the author of Theory of Love. Now I feel bad for Jittirain, the author of the novel, because this series messed up her creation. Unfortunately it did not live up to its popularity and standard. They can't say its because of COVID19 like Why R U?, because this was pre- produced and they have already finished filming the entire series, so I think there can be no excuse to all of its flaws.
The last episode DID NOT save this series at all. It even made it WORST to the point that viewers felt the awkwardness of the main actors, as if they don't like touching each other. The ugly directing and the story that sucks can no longer be tolerated. Sorry for using this kind of words but this is the best way I can describe what happend to this series. One comment even said, and I love how he described the ending, confession in front of an audience doesn't make it extra special.
The actors made it so obvious that they don't like to act as BL couple at the same time the director and script did not help them with making them look like a BL couple. It was a sub par acting (though I am trying to let it pass since this is Win's first series and Bright's first BL role). I think the actors should reconsider accepting BL roles if they are not fully committed to it because even if you are a good actor but you are doing something against your will, it will always show. The director, producer and screenwriter should also try to reflect what went wrong.
I remember the actors of this show said that love is just love. I agree. Love is something you can show without the racy gestures actually love is best shown with small gestures. The bad thing about this series is NOT the lack of intimate scenes but the LACK OF LOVE in their supposedly real relationship.
Things that are good in this series? Well, this has good OST (except the TINE song, it was meh) and the early chemistry but other than that, it was just a series about two handsome guys that was said to be boyfriends but act like buddies.
Not all trending series are good and even if the actors are good looking and lovable doesn't justify the bad screenplay and execution of the story.
This is a very disappointing drama.

All actors are great and fit to their roles. Both
main leads are superb in this drama. They have a really good chemistry. They both made me feel the happiness, struggle, fear and pain that they are experiencing. Ohm was just so natural and his smile was one of the best thing I have seen in my life. That is why when he cries you just want to hug him. Singto was perfect he is cute, lovable and a great actor. All the support roles did a great job. One great thing about this series is that all cast have a good chemiatry with each other.
The story may be unrealistic but the feels are so real. I love how they incorporate in the story the struggles of a young boy in coming out to his friends and family. It was not an easy journey and how it was told was so real, the fear of being discriminated, the confusion, the struggle not to disappoint your loved ones, everything happens in real life. That is one of the reasons why I said it was so real despite of its unrealistic plot.
The love story was a classic romance of two lover that came from different worlds. That is how I see it. The way it was shown was so heart warming. The lack of means to touch did not hinder to make me feel the love that they have. This is what I mean by LOVE. It can be shown and felt in so many ways.
Overall this is a really really must watch series.

This drama started so great and although parts of it went off grid because of the Corona pandemic, I still apreciate the efforts of its production to produce and finish what they have started. Too bad I think there is more to its story than what is shown but what can I say, sometimes shit happens.
Zee and Saint's chemistry is solid and unquestionable. I just feel bad for their team since for Saint he always encounter bad luck, first with the management of her partner and now pandemic. He is such a great actor. I also discovered how good Zee is, to think that he is just new. Zee and Saint is the classic definition of love.
Zon and Saifah is a breath of fresh air in this drama. They are the joy of the show and fun part. They portrayed their role excellently. Zon and Saifah is the modern definition of love.
I really enjoyed this show. I hope we get to have a different version (I think they can alter some part of it and correct the storyline since there is a comics plot introduced, you know maybe that this story was the comics of Zon and then we get to see the real story, with different path but same ending) or season 2 of this after the pandemic.
Hope to see them all again ?

Overall it was an amazing story, but the way it was told in the series is superb. This is something that I can watch over and over again.
