It is honestly exhausting to sit through another terrible series like this. I have noticed the same group of actors popping up in several of these subpar Filipino BL projects before, and they just don't seem to get any better. The production value is bottom-tier, the acting is painful to watch, and there is hardly enough plot here to even justify calling it a show. I get that a lot of these were made as passion projects during or right after the pandemic, but it is 2026 now, and there is just no excuse for this kind of poor execution. It really should have just been a quick short film instead of stretching it out. At least it only has six episodes that run about 15 minutes each, so you can fly through it pretty fast if you’re unlucky enough to start it. The plot is about as basic as it gets. We follow a guy named Sam who is stuck in a major emotional rut. He has been in a steady, loving relationship for years, but he can't stop obsessing over his ex, Travis. Apparently, Travis ...
Xiaotian used to be a gang member but when one day they bully a young boy Xingkong, he stood up against them and has been away from the gang since. He became a better person with his new friend Xingkong and two other friends. While hiding after being chased by the gang, he realizes that he actually loves Xingkong. This feeling s new for him a din fact the feeling is seen reciprocated by the young boy but neither is willing to accept and confront. Going through some denial and confirmation, he finally begs that the gang leave Xingkong. He does get beaten u badly but the gang leader sees love in his eyes and leave the two alone post which they both confess to their love for each other. and him and got beaten for it. He finally have a happy live with Xingkong after recovery. In the parallel story, we also see about Xiaotian's other friend Yan, a child of a neighboring divorced couple and childhood friends with him. He loves Xiaotian in secret. He is very jealous of Xingkong but decided that he wants Xiaotian to be happy and helped Xiaotian to confess with Xingkong.
He story, as you can see here is actually pretty basic and because of inexplicable reasons also feels very patchy and I wonder if it was completed just for the heck of it. It does have a number of flaws, we see a fourth friend in the first episode and then he just disappears for rest of the show. But still somehow, something I found cute about it, maybe the leads and the innocent looks they have (neither of them looks university student btw). The show could have been a much better 25 minute sharp short story and would have been much better as a release, but hey, to each its own. If you see this from a perspective of a slightly amateurish production, which it probably is; I have seen many more much worse shows than this. This one at least is quick and easy to watch and doesn't drag for far too long. Still, in this sea of BL shows, this one will disappear without a trace. (4.5/10)
