As someone that cannot watch most BL drama (esp. Thai and korean) because of bad acting and general cringyness let me tell you what about this censored romance was good and what wasn't imho.

+ the main couple's chemistry
Jason Xu was the embodyment of tall dark and handsome, seemingly at peace with his feelings while his counterpart Simon Gong was the spoiled goofy type in denial. Which brings me to:

- Gong's character was at times annoying af and my second hand embarrasment was strong. Was it the script? Was is overacting/ bad acting? We'll never know...

- the sister. Oh this sister. Why did they have to write her almost like a bimbo thorn in the MC's side. Why? Typical women bashing in BL once again.

+ the plot was easy to follow but not very intruiging, they could've skipped the bf's side plot with the thief imho. It was just slowing down the story for me. The only problem I had was: Xu's character seemed like a down to earth, calm and collected grown up and Gong's character just doesn't fit in there, behaving like a kid most times. Unplausible but probably so in the novel. Just a very unpleasant character...

+ overall production quality seemed good

- the music was nothing to write home about

+/- a lot of shirtlessness going on. A plus if it's Xu, very weird if it's 2 random dudes on a bed...
