Zero agency

I was honestly pretty excited about this show when I started it, though the story set up was a bit weird. Gay arranged marriage is a bit out there even for BL shows...I didn't mind it that much but also again with the age difference? and all the "growing up like brothers and then get married"?
Besides all that, I thought it was fun at first but I'm at episode 6 now, and ...jeesch...how can you write characters with zero agency? Both Kuea and Diao can't do anything in this show. I get that the top-bottom-dynamics are common in BLs, and get exaggerate, but jeeesch can you please not write characters that don't have any say in their own lives? And I don't mean like parents telling them stuff, or someone deciding job stuff for them! But actually forbidding them to leave the house, go anywhere, do anything on their own, be themselves, like what they like.


SPOILER
I was also really disappointed by the plot logic in episode 5 and 6 (*spoiler alert* there isn't any).
so the set up is: you like someone that doesn't like you back, and then when that person starts showing signs of liking you, you..don't want that ...although you still like them?? why?? pls someone explain!

The music is great though!!! 10/10
