DO NOT DROP IT!
I watched this series 'cause I saw so many people talking about it. I struggled to watch the first episode: Toh is straight up crazy, he looks like a stalker, he barely speaks and has no charm at all. I had to skip some parts or stop the video 'cause I couldn't live with the secondhand embarrassment. I just keep on watching 'cause the comment under the video were all saying not to get discouraged.
So I keep on watching and HOLY MOLY I didn't even realized how much I was engaged!
The story is simple, but the characters are the deepest I've seen in a BL drama. Toh is weird, awkward, a lil bit obsessive, but soon he opens up and reveals his struggles and insecurities, which I believe we all can understand. At first he acts like a parody of the typical fangirl/fanboy, but the development he goes through is UNBELIEVABLE.
Nuea is the softest boy: he never lose his cool, he always tries to understand Toh. It's clear he uses his own body to seduce Toh, but he always makes sure the other one is comfortable, he always makes sure to show how much he actually CARES about Toh and appreciate him even in his weird behavior. Their relationship is so healthy, they both talk about EVERYTHING and even the little tantrums Toh puts on now and then gets away with a smile. Kudos to Billy and Seung, they did an INSANE job with this drama, their acting is just perfect.
About the side couple we get to know: Sky and Jao. They are my happiness, Istg. Sky is a walking green flag: he never gives up to Jao insecurities. And the way he keep on compliment Jao about his body, the way he just keep on love him as he is... We all deserve a boy/girl like Sky in our lives. I was super happy to see the bodyshaming topic being portrait this softly, yet with so many powerful words. If you pay extra attention to Jao's character you can see trough his body language how his insecurities about his body just rule his life; I'll never forget how Jao held on his jacket, covering his tummy while feeling exposed from the pictures some bully upload on social media. It was just so powerful.
Daisy. Omg, Daisy. I cry just thinking about them. Daisy is a transgender woman: they're confident, sassy, a real queen. Yet, when it comes to their loved one, they shows up all their insecurities and goes back to their "male" self - Day. I cried so much when they said how tiring it was to keep it up with the acting. I wish they got more screen time - their story with Touch deserves a series.
The friendship between the characters are so cute: everyone is accepting, they go through a lot, but never lose themselves. In particular, Toh's behavior are NOT accepted by his friend when it gets too crazy. They try to educate him, to make him understand why it is not ok doing his collecting, and even succeed in get a stop in it.
This series is hilarious, so sexy (LIKE REAL SEXY), all about accepting ourselves and the others just the way they are. Topics such as bodyshaming, gender fluidity, safe sex are in it. And I couldn't be more happy about it.
The writer did an amazing job. Congrats to everyone who had part in it!
