Loved the storyline, but the age gap...

This was btw my first BL ever (Blame Instagram), but I'm writing this I think 25+ bls later (and after a rewatch)
(Bai Zong Yi x Fan Ze Rui)
I'm gonna start with the positive stuff.
I really like the storyline; I love how they met and how their bond deepens.
I'm not usually a fan of time skip-amnesia stories, but somehow I really thought it was fitting.
Every question was solved and I understood every action and decision.

But let's address the elephant in the room: The Age Gap...
Sorry, not sorry, but "he's 17, he's bAsiCaLly an adult" is unacceptable. I think this series really romanticized the fact that this is literally illegal...

They really should have put Bai Zong Yi in University or made him at least over 18, because if he had been an adult the story would have been a lot more enjoyable, and it would affect the storyline at all.
This was always in the back of my mind and it kind of destroyed their chemistry for me, especially in the intimacy-scene.
After the 4-year time skip, it was fine tho.
But still, this show definitely romanticizes the kind-adult relationship situation, because 17 or not, he was a kid and Rui was an adult (I think he was like 25-30?)

(Chen Yi x Ai Di)
I really liked them, their chemistry was great, but i also have a few negative points there.
First, Ai Di had sex with Chen Yi when he was dead drunk? I don't know bro...
+ after that he randomly decides to go to prison with Bai Zong Yi? Naaaaah I don't think so.

All in all, this series really has a special place in my heart because it was my first one.
Would I watch it now? Yes. Why? I like action and I like their stories.
Would I recommend it? Yes, if you dont have triggerpoints with the whole age gap thing.

Had Potential but used it only in the first few and last few eps.

I really liked it, especially because it's something different among all the school/university BLs that were already kinda sick of.
The idea is amazing; I loved the transitions XD.
In the first few episodes, both of them tried to fit into this new universe and I really enjoyed watching this part.
I loved how they hit of instantly, but there's one thing that i didn't really like: The transition from friends to lovers (or something more than just friends).
I felt like it was all over the place and just a bit chaotic with random moments and random kisses.
On the other side, I really started to love the last EPS again. How they both tried to get back into their universe and this weird in between of Tess & Pued.

Overall, i liked the beginning and the end, the middle was kinda unnessesary.
(+ i loved guns guest role)

One of the best action series in BL history.

I think this is the best BL ever.
The story is amazing, actors are perfect and actions are understandable.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was the storyline between Black and Gram. I saw that people say that Gram was "Straight-washed", but i dont think that's necessarily the case. Although I think it's a bit odd for Gram to be in a relationship with the ex of his especially close friend. I mean they spent every single day together and are kind of close, so why?

However, the thing I enjoyed the most was the Story between White and Sean. Their Chemistry was amazing, the way they cared for each other was just adorable. I loved every single second of them.

I also really enjoyed watching the bond between Black and White and how it deepens throughout the series.

And OMG, THE MUSIC???? 10000/10
