This show had a lot of potential considering its premise, but the actual storytelling felt short and ended up falling into several predictable cliches that said little to nothing about its characters. Firstly, the only character with any depth here was Tian, and even then, his only motif seemed to be reduced to turning into Torfun 2.0. All he wanted to do was do the things Torfun used to do to feel better about being a not so nice person in the past and receiving a second chance to live at the price of her death. The romance was weak, it revolved too much around pining and sexual tension moments that lead to nothing. Phupha's character being so bland didn't help at all. Tian and Phupha didn't really have the usual aspects that we have in romantic pairings, which is one part complementing the other. If Phupha didn't exist, Tian's arc would have been nearly the same. It felt like this was Tian's show and the romance was just an occasional side story... and this is a BL, so it shouldn't have been that way. I personally couldn't see what made Tian fall in love with Phupha and vice versa, so to me the romance was not engaging enough to endure the slow burn they presented. And it also didn't help that outside of the main plot, there were no side stories to engage. As I said, the side characters and their struggles only served to develop Tian's character and at some point it became boring because like, "yes, we understand Tian is trying to be a better person, can you show us something else?"

All of this led us to slow 7 episodes and when we reached episode 8, every single conflict seemed to hit us all at once and it became a melodramatic fest. Several implausible (but somehow predictable!) or just downright laughable occasions that made the show go from a chill slow burn that wasn't really offering much, but wasn't really anything close to being bad, to a trainwreck. Then episode 9 came and suddenly things are so much clearer between the main leads, it makes you feel like they had some sort of epic romance before everything went south, but they didn't! Their connection was there, but they hadn't come to the point of admiting their feelings yet. And then more and more and more drama. Felt like a cheap attempt of collecting easy tears out of your audience.

Acting was good, Mix especially. Earth didn't have too much to work with anyways, so it's even hard to judge. Chemistry was good enough, but the way the romance was developed made it hard for me to buy into the couple. Scenery was nice, who doesn't love seeing green and calm colors! But overall, this show seemed to work more on the ideia that it's just so epic and deep and emotional due to its premise, but the actual storytelling couldn't be drier.
