To keep it short, I loved the freshness the storyline offered, but felt it fell a bit short.
I would love if Runway handled the relationship with Tanai a bit better although you get a sense that he is the baby of the group, adding to his innocence and naiveness. Dream calling him "my little boy" adds to it (and making it a bit uncomfortable at times unless you imagine Runway being a reincarnation of Dreams lover, which for me then makes complete sense). I would love more details on Dream and how he came to be in Runway's dreams, so if there will be a second season as promised, I will watch it for sure.
What irks me is that it is not once said that Yim was raped. He was. Just implying it with a sad scene, in my book, is not enough. Also, why would he have a tender kiss with his rapist just because he said sorry? It makes absolutely no sense and it is completely wrong. Why that jerk didn't go to jail is beyond me. I don't like the message it portrays, that a young boy like that should do nothing if raped. I actually enjoy rough scenes, obsessiveness and light refusal before giving in (I know, I'm weird) - but only if the person giving in is actually enjoying it and it was just a struggle with oneself to see their true feelings. In no way is it ok if they really don't want it. Rape is never ok and the perpetrator should have been punished.
