A series that leaves more questions than answers

Starring in its main roles JN Yu as Jie En and Xie Yi Hong as Ye Hong, the plot shows the romantic relationship that arises between two heterosexual boys, one a high school student and the other, his tutor, whose lives will be altered once begin to live together under the same roof and in the same bed, after the second is hired by the first's mother. Filmed in 2019, in locations in Taipei, the series, of the comedy, romance and yaoi genre, was broadcast between September and December 2019 on Vidol TV, obtaining a notable commercial impact.
Argument
This sweet story of love and friendship introduces us to Jie En, who since he was a child dreamed of being as cool as Ye Hong, the boy 5 years older who lives next door. Immersed in his own routine, Ye Hong pays attention to Jie En just to have fun by teasing him from time to time.
As he grows up, the innocent and sweet-tempered Jie En sees in the cheeky and daring young man everything he has always wanted to be and secretly admires his neighbor as if he were his older brother.
In this romantic drama directed by Chen Mengwei we see how after Ye Hong leaves to study abroad, Jie En is devastated. He has lost the person who served as a reference in his life. However, you will soon have other reasons to occupy your thoughts: the pressure of getting into a good university forces you to focus solely on your studies.
Wanting only for her son to be able to study for a career, Jie En's mother, now 17 years old, announces that she has hired a tutor who, after graduating abroad, has returned and will move in with him to dedicate all his time. time and effort to ensure that his disciple obtains a good result in the exams.
If at first Jie En was insecure and even upset at having to share his house with a stranger, he will soon be furious when he realizes that the tutor is none other than the boy who has always made fun of him. However, both will live pleasant and happy moments under the same roof.
Living with Ye Hong brings joy to Jie En, at least until he discovers that Jing Han, the girl he has befriended in Ye Hong's absence, is actually Ye Hong's first love.
When Ye Hong's bed breaks, Jie En is forced to share his own with his tutor. One night, while the student is dreaming about Jing Han, he caresses Ye Hong's face, who, confused, believes that the boy has feelings for him. From this moment on, he changes his attitude towards Jie En and instead of mocking him, he will show unexpected affection.
This is how, suddenly, Jie En's life is altered again, now involved in a tangle of complicated relationships, misunderstandings and confusing emotions. Will the world make sense to him again?
Jing Han, who has understood the feelings between the two boys, acts like a fujoshi determined to match friends, and, to top it all off, adds a third to the already hectic dynamic between Jie En and Ye Hong, after proposing that they receive each other. his handsome friend, Xu Shaoyu, who has nowhere to sleep as his apartment is being renovated.
Will he come with the intention of breaking up the relationship in the event that Jie En falls in love with him?
From Jie En's perspective, will the unexpected visit be used to make Ye Hong jealous so that he decides to declare his love for her? Why does she accept the new guy's flirtation? Doesn't he seem to be very happy in Xu Shaoyu's presence?
That night the three boys must share the same bed. Waking up in the early morning, He Yong pulls back the covers and sees Jie En hugging Xu Shaoyu. Has he dreamed about Jing Han again and that's why he hugs him like he caressed him some time ago? Has he lost the affection of the young student? Have you ever loved him? Has it all been a product of your imagination?
The next day, after the visitor leaves, He Yong tries to talk to Jie En, but at the last minute he stops the impulse and remains silent. In the morning, Jie En discovers that the tutor has abandoned him.
In a series that leaves more questions than answers, it concludes as it begins, with the arrival of someone at Jie En's house and he, on the threshold, smiles and asks with disbelief, but marked surprise and undeniable joy: "So... you're the new tutor my mom mentioned?"
Although it is true that it is not shown who the tutor is, everything seems to indicate that it is none other than Ye Hong, who returns after abandoning Jie En. The long, thin, bony fingers are the same ones that ring the doorbell in the first episode. Furthermore, the newcomer drags the suitcase, as Ye Hong did upon his arrival, and not the backpack hanging on his back in which Xu Shaoyu usually carries his belongings.
The story is solid and the protagonists play their roles well and have the potential to act in BL series, as can be verified in their respective filmographies. With well-developed characters and events, a good boy love series could be achieved.
