This is the first BL I couldn't resist watching weekly. I usually wait for the whole thing to drop before binging the shit out of it, but this was different, and the reason being the actors.

Now let's talk about what I liked the most :

Honestly, it was about damn time for Aaron Lai to get the lead in a BL where he can show off all his talent. After History My Hero... well let's just say that wasn't his best work. Apart from being eye candy, he has a big range of emotions as an actor, and he knew how to play the role of Jin Yu Zhen in a way that makes you feel for the character. Over all, 10/10 for his acting.
Hank Wang (who I discovered for the first time in this series) was equally as talented. Whenever he smiles tho *-*... that smile of his is still hunting my dreams... in a good way. Jokes aside, also eye candy, and also really good with his facial expressions. I'll definitely be on the lookout for his future projects, I'm sure he's gonna have lots of them because of this gig.

Now for the chemistry between them both... 10/10. Nothing to say, just perfect. Whether it's a fight, cute or intimate scene, they both gave it their all, and both did awesome, to the point where sometimes watching them feels like I'm somehow intruding on their private life, I'm sure many of us felt that at some point with them or other BL couples (honorable mention : Tutor and Fight "Why R U?").

As for the side couple... the only two words that come up in my mind when trying to describe them are "cute" and "fluffy". Their scenes brought warmth to my cold heart, and made me all fuzzy inside UwU. Now I don't know about the whole proposal thing at the end, it seemed a bit rushed (but I guess they needed an excuse to include the title in the series lol); but even that moment was hella cute, despite being a bit random.

Ok so Yi Zi Tong (played by Deyn Li) was a very detestable character at first, with his smug face and that smile that makes you wanna brake his face, but to be honest, and altho a lot of you won't agree with this, he really did come around at the end. His motives were good at the end of the day, and yeah you might think that he was delusional for thinking that the world revolves around him, but he came back, after leaving seven years ago without saying a word, to get closure not only for Jin Yu, but I think also for himself. How many ex boyfriends you know do that ? Most Exs in BL are toxic, mean for no reason, and overall cinge worthy. After all, the only reason why Jin Yu confessed is because he was scared of loosing LeiLei to his ex. The actor did a great job in miss leading us into thinking that he was back make trouble, but all's well that ends well, and him coming coming back was important for Jin Yu to get over his past, and for the main couple as a whole to take the next step.

The story, I must say, had a lot of potential. The plot of the Singlehood Rule lost its point for me tho at some point in the series. It was just something convenient that was there to keep the lead couple from being together until the last episode. And talking about the last episode, they couldn't have ended it in a better way. And for all those who say that they dragged the kiss for too long, just remember that ATOATS (which is considered one of the best BLs of the year) also had their first kiss in the last episode, yet nobody was complaining. I agree that the pace could have used a bit more work, but the conclusion was very satisfactory for me (not to mention the hot scene was truly.... just 0_0, so freaking hot).

All and all, a great BL that was fresh, cute, and very well portrayed by the actors. I would 100% recommend it, and for me as far as raking goes, it's up there with the History series.
