Overall this series was really good and I love how far Kao's acting has come and I hope to see him in more films hopefully as a main character. He was just to cute in this series, you guys I can't get over it. I love how Lovely Writer avoided old cliques and steered a new track for BLs. It was something different that I really needed. That being said there were still somethings that I completely loved and somethings that completely threw me off
Cons:
First being that Aoey didn't even like Sib. This literally came out of nowhere, and I feel like even if I rewatched it I still wouldnt see how Aoey really showed his feelings for Gene prior to eps. 8 and 9.
Second :being that Gene was mad at Sib because Sib didnt tell him that they grew up together, honestly speaking I feel that its kinda Gene's fault for not remembering someone he was so close with as a child in the first place. It just a really dumb reason to be mad.
Third: I found it dumb how for some reason Gene was scared to tell his friends that he liked guys, especially when it wasn't like he was doing much to hide it. All the tension they had at the reunion dinner didn't even lead to much later on in the story, it felt like a very unnecessary filler :/
Pros:
This series steered clear of all things sexual harassment, assault and rape related, by this I mean every sexual act that was committed was done so with both sides consenting. The only scenes where these things come close to be shown are when the series is close to the end and Aoey is being too forward with Gene.
Second :almost every pairing in here had amazing communication. I saw a comment saying how "Gene forgave Sib to fast for the whole "not telling you we grew up together thing" especially since he was so mad about it" but honestly I prefer it this way. I hate when a series drags on a conflict that could easily be absolved by the characters just talking to one another. In this situation Gene was upset and he explained why and then Sib explained why he did what he did, Gene understood and forgave him. Its a simple as that.
Third : There are so many plot twist in here, actually there are only two main ones but still it felt like I spent episode 8,9, and 10 just gaping at my screen.
EDIT-
I forgot to add my thoughts on Tum and Tiffy. I like how the show had a straight man in there who just so happened to have "feminine skills and qualities". Its like a twist that someone doesn't have to look gay to be gay and that someone doesn't have to look straight to be straight. This show needs more promotion cause the topics that are being touched upon in here reflected the entire BL genre
