Gosh, how I have missed HIStory, Taiwan’s most reliable BL series. But this one only disappointed with a plot that spun out of control. Towards the end, I spent most of the episodes praying for the end to come swiftly.

This season of HIStory has a mix of both predictable and original romance storylines. The story about the manager and the new guy is a typical BL narrative while Johnny and Haiyi’s story was filled with more surprises and unpredictability.

The time travel plot is certainly a creative one, but wasn’t as well-executed as I expected.

All in all, the show has several conflicts/tensions stretched out across 20 episodes. Some episodes (the earlier ones, especially) are better than others. Unfortunately, the relationships go downhill in the second half of the show with a lame, poorly-written conflict. It’s supposed to make sense at the end but ehhhhh… I’m not sure it changes my review.
