A straight romance drama in disguise

loved the cast performance and quality of the series but the whole story makes you ask whats the purpose of this series? somethings were also problematic but presented as something nice. it's a straight romance drama in disguise of a bl, you think a drama talking about the BL community and gay community will at least present the gay community well but let me tell you it is not!! although its relatable on some degree, i don't think its good to recommend on people who wants to understand LGBTQ+.

Let me tell you about the problematics
1. A MARRIED GUY WITH A STUDENT - it was consensual and was portrayed actually well, like it's an intimate relationship but how the hell is this right? why is everyone ignoring this and thinking its good!? if I were married, I wouldn't wanna know my husband sleeps with someone else.. also they didn't tell the wife(?) the wife doesn't know about him literally cheating, their relationship is already dead for me, he might want to save his wife from drowning but I hope he dies in that process so I can rest in peace knowing his wife isn't with a bastard.
2. PEDOPHILE- oh my god also this!! fahrenheit is a 15 years old KID, I dont remember how old the person he was seeing but he's obviously not in the age to actually be in one, especially with the freaking big age gap! He might have fallen in love but he's obviously too young for it.. which also explains the immaturity that the kid followed the predator to his death bed and committed unaliving themselves..
3. Message & Presentation to gay people - it was clear that our protagonist is gay but is in-denial and started being a horrible character. On episode 7, they had to seriously make them kiss!? I thought he was gay.. the cheers seriously gave me deja vu of people making those loud noises on proposals so I was like, whats happening? I thought after he was outed, he would be confident and break-up with the girl, cause that girl was obviously hurting but ofcourse he didnt but the girl broke-up with him in the end which if that didn't happen, they would still be together.. every episode just made him less gay more bi when the series is literally about a gay person.. Also the no1 and no2 are gay relationships which are not a good presentation on gay relationships at all..

it seems to me the director tried to create something that gay people can relate to without actually talking to one or even meeting gay people that are in GOOD & HEALTHY relationships not something illegal.
