Hello! I keep seeing My Dear Gangster Oppa posts from everyone (including you, but others too) and am starting to ask myself if I should watch it, even with all the other amazing stuff releasing right now. Is it worth it?
Anon, I do not recommend shows. I like shows for trashy reasons, and I hate shows for petty reasons. I'm picking shows based on vibes, energy, and colors. I cannot be trusted.
All's I know is I liked the show.
It had consistent color coding with the leads.
The leads, as previously in Ai Long Nhai, had great chemistry.
It had a supportive character who I loved.
And someone I simply just loved.
It had a good plot.
And Tew WAS A GANGSTER!
I feel @negrowhat enjoyed it, and I know others did too, so maybe asking them why they enjoyed it so much might help you make a decision. As for me, I'll be waiting for a Tul and Boss spin-off where Boss has to win back Tul.
Because I want to see my loyal employee get the love story he deserves too.
He earned this.

I was just watching a few scenes from the earlier episodes, and Tul is... supposedly smart? A strategic mind? Which makes it so much funnier to me that Tul is a straight up pining dumbass around Waan.

Tul was ready and prepared to tell Waan who he was but Waan said he didn’t want to meet his online friend and liked how things were between them right now. So Tul respected that and is letting Waan keep his anonymity. Even if he’s not really anonymous anymore. That’s what Waan needs and Tul respects that and I just love how Tul loves Waan

Pathway of Pain
Because I'm still upset that Between Us continues to end each episode on the saddest note only to punch us in the throat with the chirpiest side stories two seconds later, and (Team's brother's friend?) TON IS DEAD,
I'll make this quick:
*promptly writes "What's the menu?" down on BL shirt list next to Lovely Writer's "Eat Me" shirts*
Team and Win start the episode in the green because they are lost in their feelings
Win takes Team to his colorless house because both are still emotionally confused and drained (and Win promised Wiew he'd stay the night)
Yet Win wakes up in his element and in blue with Team safe by his side and Wiew idolizing him
However, once Win sees Team in the water, he freaks out and struggles to find his balance between his normal behavior and giving into his feelings for Team
As much as Tul and Wan try to help, their lack of color doesn't convince Win to surrender to the red or his emotions for Team
And Win abandons Team to sit alone in his red hues
While Tul and Wan spend the night together in Wan's black and white (with a dash of yellow) room.
Wan has been pinned as a blue boy by his father but is potentially a red guy with his red chair. Tul has the warmer light on his side compared to Wan's harsher light.
@teerayus pointed out that the statues on the shelf behind them exhibit the stages they are in their relationship with one another: Tul's statue depicts him keeping his identity a secret and Wan's statue shows him not realizing (seeing) who Tul is. Tul's statue and his shirt are in white because he is aware of the situation, and Wan's statue and clothing are darker because the truth is hidden from him.
Finally, the books next to Wan's statues are Jackie Collins' Hollywood Wives, Nicole Krauss' The History of Love, a book about hidden identities and finding love, Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, a Stieg Larsson novel, a Jodi Picoult novel, and Journey to Joy in red.
Tul and Wan, with his romance novels, are on a journey to joy as Win and Team diverged onto a pathway of pain.
