Lots of Eye Candy, Not Much Meat

In an early episode of "Just Say No," we get a pretty steamy solo love scene, but the scenes featuring the two leads never quite reach the Thai BL gold standards set by dramas like "Love By Chance" or "WhrRU?" The plot is a bit old fashioned, better BL dramas have moved beyond the "O-M-G will my parents disown me if I tell them I'm gay?" cliche. Since Yaoi fiction lives in an alternate reality, it has always seemed to me that boy-boy love should just be taken as a matter of fact so that plots could revolve around more interesting ideas. I had expected we would have a big, romantic finish but, like the rest of story, it's like a series of fire crackers that just sort of fizzle out without delivering an explosion. The strength of "Just Say No" is that the two leads are given a good back story and their intimacy quickly develops on a logical path, without the usual cliche of having one character in denial. Aside from the solo scene, it's not at all clear why this has an R-rating. But given that "R" seems to be the default rating for two guys kissing, the producers certainly had wide latitude to include more interesting romantic scenes with the leads.
