instead of good messy it was bad messy

Overall: a slow moving series with unlikable main characters and even the side couples couldn't save it. Aired on GagaOOLala and also on YouTube.

Content Warnings: manipulation/lying, non con picture/video, vomiting, non con kiss (sleeping), coercion, manhandling, fight/slaps/punches

What I Liked
- that both main characters are flawed instead of one flawed and one squeaky clean character
- other than the confusing beginning/editing, I thought it had decent production value
- some sweet and funny moments
- at least they avoided something super cliche in the finale with the main couple

Room For Improvement
- characters felt tossed in but didn't have a real role to play, they also didn't feel like real people (i.e. Sher's sudden change of heart after 1 conversation, what does Fah see in Sher???)
- I didn't like either main character and I didn't want them to be together
- moved too slowly, boring plot points (what was with that play?)
- the scenes after the intro were very confusing, were they flash forwards, flashbacks, was that one guy the same person, did they know each other previously???
- too many characters were introduced in a short time frame and I had trouble figuring out who was who
- cliche wannabe girlfriend as the only main female character (turns into another cliche character)
- used wrong pronouns which was played as comedic
- stereotypical gay character was a villain
- the mashing of faces was not great kissing
- Ping is oddly obsessed with Fah's dating life
- nonsense things (random glass on a restaurant floor?)
