Find Your Chosen Family!
This series is a perfect example of an underrated gem that was ahead of its time in my opinion.
Had 3 Will Be Free been made in 2022 or 2023 I feel that they could've made it longer and more fleshed out.
However the show as is, stands amazingly.
Let's start with my favorite aspect of the show, the fact that P' Jennie plays a major character in the show.
We got to see a full fleshed out character with aspirations and who wasn't’ the butt of the joke. One of my biggest issues with Trans characters in BL has always been how they're supposed to be comedic relief, who more often than not they expect you to laugh at. Jennie did a really good job showcasing this and I was so appreciative of the emotions and the depth she gave this character Mae.
I showed up to this drama to see a polyamorous relationship and I got a polyamorous relationship. This was a genuine relationship between a bisexual man, a straight woman, and a gay man. Neo asserted that he loved both Shin and Mew, equally and at the same time. I liked this, I liked how the relationships progressed. I liked that he was able to express how each relationship was different, but he was still getting exactly what it is that he needed. And at the same time seeing Miw and Shin form their own bond and connection while they both loved the same man who loved them. When people hear of an open or polyamorous relationship, they think that it’s cheating or that one person isn’t enough, but that isn’t the case at all and I think this drama did a good job at not cheapening it in such a way. Joss as Neo was great. He played the role of the Bisexual Polyamorous Protector so well that he remains one of my favorite characters to date. (This role is exactly why I have faith in Joss for his upcoming role in My Golden Blood where he'll be playing a Vampire that protects his lover.)
Tay as Shin the sensitive but strong willed artist is my Favorite Tay Tawan character. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE Pete from Dark Blue Kiss but I gotta go with Shin, he was such a sweet angel who deserved the whole world.
And lastly miss Mild as Miw rounded out our trio as the Small but Loud mouthed tough girl who would cut you but if she cared about you, she'd cut For you.
Honestly this Trio gave me life. I'm a sucker for the concept of Chosen family. I dream to have my own one day and seeing positive representations of it on screen brings me so much joy.
Love Whoever and However Many You Want, Respectfully!
