RAPE IS NOT OK! Nor his stalking and abusive behavior!

I really like HIStory 2 and 3 (minus the ending), so I was really excited for this new chapter in the series.
The first episode was OK setting the characters and the mysterious stalker of one of them. The guys are cute and was a sort of interesting premise.

However, a few episodes in, we discover the stalker is the adoptive brother of one of the main characters, who not only beats a guy (the brother's best friend) out of jealousy but then proceeds to guilt trip, get drunk and finally rape his brother while he was passed out. After that, the rapist keeps on guilt-tripping and gaslighting his brother and we're supposed to empathize and even condone his actions because he's iN LoVe.

The other story is slightly better but still filled with clichés and homophobic sh*t.

I wouldn't recommend this series but if you HAVE to watch it, just watch Teng Mu Ren and Hsiao Li Chen story and fastforward the rest.
