I've watched both episodes and am still undecided on how I feel about it. It's very slow moving and so far the BL story has barely got off the ground. I'm also not keen on the editing style with the delayed fade-out that some scenes have after the actors have finished their lines, but maybe that's more to do with the fact this is my first Vietnamese BL (I think) and I just need to get used to the change in style.
Having said that, I am inclined to want to support this series as I've read that it's been made by a small company on a low budget and is apparently being deemed as quite a risky venture for them. I also like that they've been good enough to provide subs for the inter fans straight away.
At the moment I'm more invested in Hy and Khánh, the (related?) boy and girl who went to the cinema together than I am in the main boy couple Nguyen and Bao, but that's probably because their sporadic interaction so far has been limited to the misunderstanding between them. The preview for the next episode implies we should get some proper movement with their relationship now that they've been pushed together so I'm looking forward to that.

Like you said, it is very slow, but it is nice to have a school based show (like so many thai BL) unlike all the other BL coming from the Philippine. The other ones are mostly online or in a church

I think after having En of Love with its fast-paced relationships this just seems so slow but maybe this is just what we need. The fact that it's from a small company and they have subs ready when its uploaded is even better. Plus I love rooting for the underdog cause most want to see them fail.

Another company from Vietnam that does BL stories is CIFTv. They have a promo up for a new series that promises to have both BL and GL couples (I am hoping it won't be in the chat story format that their last effort (My Boss) was in: I am too lazy to dig through the threads to provide links to the couple webseries they have done, but here is a link to their channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi2_GBlJaCqBcr8vYL01hNQ). I know they did My Brother and several chat-stories. If I remember correctly, one of the leads was a minor character in a BL show called Comet, I Love You. |

I forgot all about this channel if I'm being honest. I couldn't really get into My Boss. I'm okay with a chat scene like that for a minute or two in an episode but at some point I would like to see a face and words coming out of it. |

Thinking about dropping this as it hasn't been that great.

There's only two episodes left and presumably Nguyen and Bao will be the main focus so I'll definitely see it out. I have to agree that it hasn't been all that great. I'm finding the writing really stilted and the characters not all that interesting to watch. The bloopers they play out over the end credits are more entertaining.
Admittedly, I did like the little flourish of inventiveness they gave us when Nguyen turned up at Bao's house to basically recreate the whole Romeo and Juliet balcony scene for real.

So, Duc was responsible for the sword swap and masterminded getting himself stabbed for real just because the thought Khanh liked Nguyen! That's crazy delusional at a psychotic level. He's the new Lhong!

So, it's over and I still don't know why Hy and Khanh can't be open about their relationship. That plot strand was introduced right at the start of the series and then just got dropped.
Huan had the best scene when he showed up at Boa's house to both relinquish his feelings and yield to Nguyen's attraction for Boa. I felt quite sad for him.
Did Duc get expelled or reported to the police for his wrongdoings and endangering the lives of other students? By the look of it, he just got told off like a naughty school boy by a Faculty Teacher.
What was the relevance of the paper planes? Apart from showing them during the credit sequence, we only ever saw them on the ground in the final rooftop scene. I presume each one had a relevant quote on it or something? But still, what was the actual point of them?
Not sure what next week's special episode will be about.

Well, this was unexpected.
To mark the anniversary of the series, the OST has been released with English subs... together with a coming soon tease at the end.
