I should have read the previous reviews and spoilers
Plain and simple, I should have read them.They killed him off, for what reason? That poor man had enough tragedy in his life, to only then become more of a tragedy? I just can't, and despite the fact that both actors in those main roles were phenomonal, my heart broke. I knew at the end of episode 9 what likely happened, but still thought maybe episode 10 would prove me wrong.
This just broke my heart and I know I won't ever watch it again, and actually I'm not sure I would trust any of the other HIStory stories after this. I really need an HEA, an HFN, that is what I come here for.

Giving this a shot - Welp, kind of sorry I did.
Okay, my first thought is this appears to be like bad porn, without the actual full on sex. Although props for them having a scene in the first episode with the female lead doing something you NEVER see in series.The bride is over the top campy, with her walk, and speech mannerisms, and b1tchy. Her acting is...a challenge to watch. The supporting men mostly just walk around with no shirts on, at a business. So far, I'm not sure I'll be completing this one.
The one big advantage though, is it is VERY short! Also, does it make sense with 15 minute episodes to spend 3 minutes on the previous episode's recap?
Okay, I finished it...again, it was very short, so I fast forwarded through a few things, but it was a struggle even then. It's not good. The male leads, good acting skills. Georgia, trans character, stellar. The female lead and Posh, so bad.
Otherwise, there is a very campy fight scene, no resolution to the issue of why they were getting married initially. Also, I would have liked the dad to maybe get punched in the face like 16 times, but that didn't happen either.
Overall, I would say if you have a couple hours to spare, go for it, but go at your own risk.

Really enjoyable watch
Was this a fantastic story, with a twisting plot and harrowing ending? No. However, what it was was fun, educational, and so much about good sexual practices. They put everything out there, and had discussions about everything from safe sex, to pansexuality to sex that sometimes is about which leg goes where, and oh man, I hit my head for the third time. I really enjoyed this, and will absolutely rewatch it.Also, the actors were really great in this. I'm going to have to watch some BTS, because I don't know how they didn't laugh through the entire thing, a la SNL style.

Cried through most but worth it
First off. The entire cast…they made these two shows fantastic. Such great acting by the entire cast. The leads were fantastic. Drew me in right away. Beautiful cinematography as wellI needed that ending. Tough road for them both. Such a great portrayal of real life. You can grow apart and made that’s the end, maybe not. Honestly cried through the last two episodes but pretty much the best bl I’ve watched. You need to be okay with angst cause there is a lot.
Story 2. I know some people hated the ending. It gave me life. ;)

Stopping at Ep 12 to keep the good feelings
I don't normally stop any series, but after reading reviews, and coming to the end of episode 12, I knew that any further and I would be disappointed, and likely angry. It ends with Pete and Ae happy, TinCan starting to date and not having a rape scene put in my face.Loved it through 12, and so I will take my happiness out and not let it spoil me. I maybe will watch Season 2. However, from the reviews, it sounds like I would be fast forwarding through anything that isn't TinCan and even then, not starting at the retelling of their story, but completely different.
