Sooo much potential! Similar to Color Rush. The title doesn't do it justice- it's really cute!

Man this mini series has more plot smashed into it's tiny runtime length (12 x 4min episodes so around 48mins all up) than 80% of 12-14 ep full length Thai BLs. I'm not kidding! I'm glad I finally watched this despite being turned off by the random name of the series. Yes one character plays Esports but he's not really a genius and neither are brothers as I expected (guessing this was a mainland China censorship choice though?).

Given the weird title, I was surprised to find when I started watching this that it has very similar, unique concept to Color Rush (which I also loved). I'm shocked they even tried to tackle a complex world building component in such a short series- so I give them props for that!
Keep in mind going into this one that like other reviews pointed out, this series very much feels like you're watching just episode recaps rather than the actual show. Because of it's tiny runtime, the cuts between scenes are pretty abrupt and you often feel like you're missing something. Despite that I still loved this. I just love the concept, the actors are super cute and still manage to have chemistry and cute scenes. Man this storyline has so much potential to make a really interesting full length series.

The subs on Gagaoolala are a bit off at times too where you feel like something is lost in translation. And of course being censored, the kisses and a lot of touching are cut rather abruptly. Although I like that despite the censorship, the director made it clear throughout the series that this is BL and not a bromance- which I appreciate a lot. The romance and clear declaration of love are there, the moment of kissing is just cut.

Despite all the above, I really enjoyed this series for what it is. Just don't expect more from it and you'll enjoy it. I will quietly hope for a full length series to be made and the Chinese censorship laws to end one day!
