What I like:
Great OST
Very artsy opening and ending credits.
Gorgeous, handsome, fresh (too fresh?) main leads.
Side couple that kept the series sane.

What I had found out:
1. A series with a lot of hype and great promised but was not able to deliver within 3 episodes.
2. A script that was lazily lifted from the book without considering the impact when translating it into a series/cinema thereby impacting greatly into a negative viewing experience.
3. Leads with mediocre acting prowess that could have been saved by a great script (but none is found) and great directing, but that too seems lacking. I mean, didn't they get to have acting workshop before shooting this one?
4. BL side couple with acting prowess which kept the series sane. Long live PhuXKhao!
5. An arc was added to try to include 'something new' into the story, but was not handled well and turned out into ridiculous characters and character development.
6. A well-budgeted production with history of racism towards people with color and gender preferences which clearly translates into its series, again impacting negatively to the viewing experience.

ALSO, if you say that this series is so great, I believe you need to expose your self to much wider media, not just in BL, with deep storyline, actors with acting prowess and great directing so you will know why this one failed. AND if you declare and say that as a "student of film" and praise this one, I will smack you with my thick "Cinematography: Theory and Practice" book.

Again, this is just purely the viewing experience that I had felt watching it up to the 4th episode. After that, I lost interest with the flat, robotic-like acting. AND I did try, thrice I think, to re-watch because there is a great visuals, but no, it really is flat. Even PhuXkhao can't make me stay for a minute more.
