For a Chinese production, I'm happy enough it wasn't downplayed as bromance

I think it's the first time in a long time that we get an actual BL genre series from the mainland. And there are some interesting plots and... slightly disappointing adjustments, to accomodate China's media censorship.

Parts where the main leads hug in bed, or kiss would be cut off and skipped, and not too subtly either. The frame would just randomly cut, no tranaition whatsoever, as if the director wanted to purposefully tell the viewers "we filmed it, they acted it, but the censorship took out the fun parts"

STORY = 7.5
Only because it felt like a rip off concept to Color Rush Season 1 that was produced a year before this. But in this series' defense, they created more interesting characters for the mono and chrome roles. Although, I think they made the characters of monos and chromes as superficial and a "beneficial" relationship rather than romantic and it felt confusing and probably not as relatable for the viewers. And it was too short and there was not enough time for character build up and progress. It felt rushed and didn't get to highlight the actor's ability to immerse in their roles

ACTING/CAST = 7
Zhou Jun Yu who plays Jiang Yifeng, and his partner who plays Lu Lin (who for some reason I can't find information on) had a cute chemistry. They would've trended had they been allowed with a lot of skinship and intimate scenes.
They were quite good for rookie actors. Especially the one who played Lu Lin. He had so much confidence touching Jun Yu and staring at him with adoring eyes, his sad eyes will pull on your heartstring like puppy eyes... he makes you want to pet him, hug him and take him home, protect him him from the baddies.
Also how can a man be manly handsome and prettier than a girl both at the same time? Isn't that cheating? Must be those pretty eyes hehe...

MUSIC = 7.5
The soundtrack, it wasn't phenomenal, but it was easy to listen on... The sound engineering though felt ancient... some sound effects felt misplaced and unnatural and the voice over dubbing felt dull and probably muted a lot of the original emotion in the actor's actual voices.

REWATCH VALUE = 6
It's an adorable series, but I probably would not rewatch it again...


Apart from the short duration per clip and those randomly cut romantic scenes (supposedly) it wasn't a very frustrating series, just a tad bit disappointing... but considering thus is a mainland China production, I'm not the least bit surprised.
