it only goes downhill
This series started off sort of good (maybe in comparison to another series airing at the time), but after a while, it only gets worse. Only going to talk about Itt and Pai.
How I perceived the plot was: at first it was sweet, the tension between the two mc was cute. it was sort of an enemies to lover trope... Itt was struggling and Pai was there to help him achieve his goals while Pai had no confidence but learns to love himself and make his own descisions over time due to Itt's influence, OR SO IT SEEMED.
What the actual plot was..: This show took a full 180 when Itt went from frenemies to bully mode. He constantly put Pai on the spot in uncomfortable situations hoping Pai would be braver or stand up for himself. But we don't really see that. Even in the finale, he couldn't advocate for himself in front of his parents when he was outed. He even agreed to his mother's request that "he's still young, there's still time to change". At that point I lost all respect for him. I couldn't care less during the crying scenes, frankly i skipped through them just because he was so pitiful to watch. Ultimately, I have no respect for Pai is because he gets shit handed to him. He didn't have to advocate for himself (which I thought was the whole point in Itt's influence on him). Itt went to talk to his parents. His parents went to seek outside advise. But what did Pai do thats not crying? exactly....
Also...when his parents finally became more open minded, I felt they were asking all the wrong questions. Its not about society and the challenges, it's not about Itt's love for Pai is strong enough, it's not about if Pai will regret this in the future. BUT RATHER, its about YOUR (the parents) love for Pai and supporting him regardless of society, the challenges, his relationship with Pai, or if he later regrets this. They were literally scaring the poor boy all over again with the what ifs, but not comforting him with their support?
The acting in this is kinda meh. At the beginning the chemistry was cute. fell flat after the whole bully situation.
Honestly Don't recall there was music used in this series...
rewatch value.... uh I wouldn't waste my time when there are better series out there.
