How are the reviews for this show so good, when the show such a disaster?

Fell asleep halfway through every episode.

The story itself was lacklustre as the premise was not clear and relied solely on the chemistry on the actors (which there wasn’t any was). A rush through the story and relationship seem to also happen with one moment the characters being mortal enemies to the next being soulmates which really harmed the realism and pacing of the story, making it hard to enjoy. The actors were good-looking and that was what saved me from giving up on the series entire because the chemistry and over exaggerated acting was really off-putting at times. Plus, one of the main love interests also seemed to cherish this power imbalance that he had with the other lead which further made the atmosphere uncomfortable even when they got into a relationship. The kisses were mostly teases to the audience which was more akin to fish kisses on the actors part to try to sell the premise of the show being a BL and keep fans somewhat satisfied with the show barely making it into the BL category.

Overall, I would not watch this series again. It was a slog to get through and I had to force myself to get to the end of the series. There are so many other better BLs and Korean BLs to watch, so, I would suggest watching them instead as this is really not worth you time.
