This is what a good high school BL series should be like – it shows in a very sensitive and loving way the coming of age and coming out of 4 young men, with all the smaller and bigger disasters people at that age have to face.

Directed by the same director as ”Make Our Days Count”, it avoids most of the annoying tropes of the genre, and all the four leads (Shen Jyun as Xu Qi Zhang, Li Zhen as Ye Guang, Andy Huang as Jian, and my very extra special Hsu Shuo as Ray Ray, who looks great as a crossdresser) are talented actors and super cute.

The OST is the best of any BL series of 2022. I have watched this series 4 times already, and I'll watch it again.
