Highly underrated BL on the right person, place & time for love
This show has gone under the radar for some reason BUT it’s one of the best things I’ve watched so far in 2022 so hear me out.
Plot-wise, YMS also has a fairly unique storyline extending beyond just college relationships. Ultimately, it’s a story about young people pursuing their goals relentlessly, and in doing so, oscillating between love and resentment. For the sport and maybe even for other people.
Told through the stories of these 3 couples, 3 corresponding questions are posed: Right person, right time, and right place for a relationship?
For childhood friends Thorn and Fah, they are confronted with the uncomfortable question of whether they’re still right for each other as their paths begin to diverge.
For Ai and Saan, the main obstacle to their relationship is distance. (It turns out 2 people are farthest from each other not because of physical distance, but when they are unable to communicate candidly.)
The third couple, Dome and Vee, was the highlight for me. Theirs is a story of “right person, wrong timing”. Two people forced to hold back despite being inexplicably drawn to each other. Even though their screentime dwindled towards the end, they had a giddying magnetism about them that commanded every scene they appeared in. With that kind of sexual tension, I could look at Dome and Vee looking at each other all day.
In short, this show is great for those who are into sports-themed shows, great for those who are not.
