I gave this a 7.5 because it is a well done series, the actors, direction and cinematography is great. It would work as a cautionary tale, if the ending would be different.
This series is basically Gu Hai sexually assaulting Louyin every chance he gets. He is a sick guy, even if he comes across as sweet and caring sometimes. He is obsessive, aggressive with everyone, overreacts, and hates Louyin's friends and he's rude to them on purpose (which is a red flag in itself).
He gets what he wants in the end, but I am not sure it's a happy ending and not sure this needs a second season (unless it's a very dark one, but I am sure the fans don't need that).
To me, this looked like the type of relationship that gets you killed if you want out. By the 10th episode, it got hard to watch. We really need to stop romanticizing abuse.

I always ask myself, would this story work with a boy-girl couple? With this one, it probably would. The conflict does not come from the fact that they are the same gender. They just happen to be. No big deal.
It also helps that it is beautifully filmed and the two leads did a very good job. I was actually so captivated that I rewatched it immediately. We need more gems like this in this world.

I would give this a ten, but I felt it was a bit rushed and underdeveloped. I felt that 6 hour long episodes would have been better, there could have been more to this story. Anyway, it still has a high rewatch value for me.
