Still - I would recommend you watch the first few Episodes because the Leads are incredibly cute together and their Chemistry is amazing as I said!

TW: Rape, Stepbrothers, Fujoshi Plotline, potentionally Mental Illnesses?!
So first of all, yes these Plotlines are triggering for some People and I can totally understand if you drop the Drama if it isn't your Style or triggers you in any kind of way!I love it though, the Humor reminds me of Chinese Sitcoms from a few Years ago and we get all the Cliché Plotlines but it also doesn't try to force you to be OK with it? No one pretends like any of the Characters Behavior is okay or normal. For People like me that like twisted Tales and Romances but also don't want every twisted Tale to be dark and brooding this Drama is PERFECT!

Triggering
For someone that has known many Victims of abusive Relationships the Behaviors of the 4 Main Characters can be triggering. The whole Thing is made worse by the sugar coating of said behavior.Especially Zee and Max's Characters really made me anxious. It doesn't matter that they probably don't mean to be this controlling.
Example: Forcing Kuea to move away from his Family and Friends and isolating him in Lian's House while also having Camera's on him and trying to literally control his behavior!

I'm confused by other People's Reviews?!
I'm not sure if we all watched the same Show?I agree that their sound design is off, especially in the first two episodes but I'm confused why so many people apparently think there is no plot?
There is so much going on in this Show!
Also, Sex CAN BE PLOT! Figuring out what you like or don't like, how your and your partners preferences work or not work together? That's PLOT!
Let's not forget the big picture. All the talk about Sex Work and the literal missing twin that might have been killed or trafficked?!
More for Fans of QaF than of "BL" in my Opinion because a lot of the BL Fans seems to not be able to watch anything that doesn't include a beauty filter...
Also... Showing Queer Sex on TV is not Porn... I think some people need to think hard about why explicit hetero sex in shows is totally play but queer sex automatically makes a show "porn"

I can see me getting obsessed with this
TW for MAMEness!THE only real complain I have is the Music, but that's a problem with more than a few first episodes so I think next episode is probably gonna do better on that front.
Rain is cute AF, he is clueless and anxious and clearly has a little crush on Payu but the way he is portrayed is a lot less annoying than most clueless Leads. I can't wait to find out how his Character is gonna deal with a Guy like Payu.
I appreciate that Payu had actual Reasons to think that Rain is into him, of course his Behavior would still not be okay IRL but he's hot in the Show and just cocky enough to be fun to watch and not so arrogant to become unlikable.
(can't say much to our 2nd Couple yet!)
