Underrated IMO

honestly this series was a breath of fresh air for me after being disappointed by so many others series. that's not to say this is the utmost perfect bl series to ever exist, it definitely has its flaws. i definitely think this one is underrated! i cant believe im a whole year late to this

if you don't like slow burn or a lack of psychical touch i'd say this one is not for you, but you're missing out if you decide to skip. the progression of feelings towards one another felt so natural and believable and left me satisified for the most part with its build up. its so fluffy in the best way possible. definitely a series that you can sit down and watch without thinking too much.


mork and tawan are some of the sweetest characters i've ever seen, especially mork and HIS DIMPLES ?. theres so much i could say about mork, but the tldr is he's a sweetie pie, maybe too sweet for his own good. it honestly felt like watching two baby puppies give each other affection. i know its not big, but mork's carefulness when changing tawan was really nice to see, when in other bl series they'd take this as a chance to sexualize the situation. the only critique i give for this couple is on tawan's side i sorted of struggled to see any progression of feelings towards mork at times, but i also feel like mork was more focused on in terms of feelings developing. it also doesnt help that tawan broke up with por two episodes before the show ended. nonetheless their relationship progression was pretty smooth, couldve done without the ghosting trope at the very end though..

i appreciate how we were not given the evil ex girlfriend trope in this series, im tired of women in bl series literally being demonized.


the discovery of por being a cheater was dragged on for way too long, it shouldve been discovered way sooner, and i do think that realistically tawan was a bit too oblivious with all of it. as much as i love this series the conflict couldve been wrapped up and been 8 episodes instead of ten. not too sure where the rumors of por being a kind and caring person rooted from, all i saw was a petty coward who got in a hissy fit with boyfriend and decided to drag someone else along in it. mork punching him was definitely satisfying.


in most case scenarios i end up usually being interested in the side couples more than the main one, but that wasn't the case here. i think in itself thats a flaw and a good thing.

i didnt like toy's "playfulness" when it came boss especially when he decided to mess up all of his books that im sure boss had so tediously alphabetized, i'd be mad too. the progression of toy's development is a tad bit staggered to me, but it could be worse. the blackmail was never okay to begin with. however the sudden shift of boss being annoyed to reciprocating feelings did feel a bit bit rushed to me.

not too sure how to feel about nadia and mayom's relationship progression, i definitely dont think it was given the same attention as the other two couples were given. i love nadia but mayom just bores me im sorry...

aside from the side couples the other side characters were enjoyable as well, i honestly might have liked watching them more than the side couples. theres also trans rep in there and two gay uncles and mork's bisexual awakening ?
