I’m putting all 10 stars for each category, because even though I haven’t finished it, I’m really enjoying it so far (thus why I put all 10’s).

Story: I’m really enjoying the story so far. I’ve watched the anime (didn’t know it was the same thing until a few episodes in????), but I like how they’re doing so far in the live action.
Cast: I personally think they chose the perfect cast - all the actors have great chemistry with one another (to the point where I had to go check if this was a BL - still surprises me what they’re able to get past censorship????). Besides that, I really like how the relationships are developing, and how it sprinkles in hints of the past that we need to try and figure out. I really like the main male lead, Xu Cai - I think he really plays his character well. I like the way his character is a genius and really thinks outside the box - makes it super interesting to figure out what he’s planning next. I really like the female lead too - she may seem like she’s one thing, but trust me, she’s not????

Music: I haven’t watched the entire show, so I haven’t heard all of the music, but so far it’s really good and fits the theme????

Rewatch value: I think I’d rewatch it, since I’m enjoying it so much right now, but it’d probably have to be in a few months when I don’t remember everything that happens.

Overall: I totally recommend it - but hey, if this isn’t your type of show, at least you can say you tried watching it...you’ll never discover if you like something by following others’ opinions - something I let dictate a lot of mine, unfortunately????
