Light On Me wasn't light on me

Daon reminds me toooo much of our King Namjoon that I'm getting sincerely weirded out. His character is so far likable but too much of a people pleaser that he hurts them too. I still don't like him because toooooo much Namjoon vibes I'm getting from him that I'm feeling very embarrassed.

Shin Woo is so far every closeted rude but shy gay boy who is mean to his crush because he likes him AND I'M SO FUCKING DONE WITH THIS HORRIBLE TROPE. This honestly has to be my least favourite queer trope ever (well this and the almost no queer couple can be happy without cheating. There's almost aaalways cheating involved in queer representations in films or TV shows and I mean c'mon WHY?) Sohee is however the worst character by far. And our protagonist is just very robot like, which doesn't make me that attached to him. I honestly like gamer boy the most and I actually wish he would have ended up with robot (but no they had to go for let's be fucking obvious...... #facepalm. They literally chose the least unsurprising love interest ever).

I thought this was supposed to be cute and fun but if I'm not getting weired out by fake Namjoon I'm getting irritated by Shin Woo. I'm already at episode 6 but it's honestly my least favourite Korean BL so far, which is sad since I was really looking forward to this one.

My dog Lucky is watching me like STOP WATCHING YOUR KDRAMA AND TAKE ME ON A WALK NOOOOW. And I'm so tempted to do that and never pick this drama up again.

Update I did walk my dog and picked it up again. I really should make better life choices, but alas.

A dumb girl that's friends with sohee was like: omg what is this... 2 guys hanging out on the weekend... what is this sorcery?
Me: BITCH WHAT THE FUCK! YOU'RE LITERALLY HANGING OUT WITH 2 GIRLS AS WELL. And I'm like HELLO 2 friends can hang out in the weekend and guys can have friends too. Seriously script writer what the fuck is this?

I'm losing all the braincells that I didn't even have while watching this.

Suddenly shin woo is soooo nice that I'm almost throwing up. At this point I'm just hate watching it and ridiculing it. I don't know if it's my mood or if I actually don't like the show but here we go.

FUCK YASS! Le bae Shiwoon (aka hungry gamer boy) called sohee out on her shit. She was being all jealous over robot hanging out with Daon while robot was just a temporary member and my dude was like ... you're not a regular member either so why do you keep coming here. I died. Best moment of the show so far.

This may sound really harsh but somehow that teachers face keeps bothering me. It lowkey looks like a creepy plastic doll. I'm so sorry that your face gives me the creeps and that I actually said it out loud. Not your fault that I'm brutally honest and hate watching this show.

What kind of game is I love you? I honestly prefer any of Squid Game's games over this awkward thing. I would rather actually die than have to go through that embarrassment. *shudders*

It's really weird how I'm at episode 9 and robot has only ever like Daon so far but he actually ends up with shinwoo. I honestly don't like storylines like that.

So Hee is so toxic and such a freaking hypocrite.

........ so he literally says watch where you're going because that's the first thing robot said to shinwoo.... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

I'm still not over ken barbie teacher. His looks still lowkey terrify me but at least I am not constantly reminded of fake Namjoon anymore whenever I look at daon.

So Hee just gets worse and worse with every episode. I don't know why but every female character in this show is horribly written and there aren't even that many of them.

Fucking Sohee... liking someone for three years doesn't make you entitled to that person. They have to like you as well. But lol SHIWOON IS A BAE! He didn't even freak out when she called him gay and he called her a petulant child. Hahahaha LOVE YOU BABE FOR CALLING HER OUT ON HER SHIT AGAIN. He's truly the best boy in this show and the most mature.

Of course shinwoo the silent mysterious cold but deep down super sweet guy feed stray cats. C'mon what's up with all these horrific stereotypes and cliches?

Bitch literally spread the news that daon is dating robot..... WHY? WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS STILL ACCEPTABLE? TEEEELL ME WHY...

We shall see if I manage to finish this tomorrow because my mind can't handle more of this today.

Lol robot and shinwoo literally went from 0 to 100 real quick. I mean where's their development? Somewhere off in space?

The best moments are sincerely when shiwoon is scolding sohee. I'm living for those scenes.

Hehehehehehehe sohee getting some well deserved karma. Seriously why are all the girls written so badly? Probably because the overall writing is shite as well. Whoops, too harsh?

Honestly nobody has that much chemistry with each other. Why am I still watching this? I'm questioning my sanity now.

Sohee is so selfish, only thinks of herself. She literally hurted someone she liked for 3 years just because she got jealous and he wants to stop being friends. One day later she literally shows up unannounced and has the audacity to be like I haven't slept or eaten properly since yesterday. GIRL GET A FUCKING REALITY CHECK, THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU!

..... .... ..... bitch got.... forgiven..... I'm so done with my life right now.

I lowkey looked up the ending already and I'm not a fan.

So taekhyung aka robot literally goes for shinwoo because he's available and ready to be out while daon isn't but he still likes daon. WHY??

I also feel like that a lot of watchers of this show are hard on daon. He is not ready to come out yet and that's okay but robot isn't self conscious about liking a guy at all, which is also okay. Like shiwoon said it is all up to you if you want to come out. It's also up to you if you want to date someone in the closet if you're already out or if you don't want to. But just dating someone else because you're both out and available while still looking another guy isn't okay, which is what robot is ultimately doing in my opinion.

I don't like this, I don't like this. I don't like how they now want to pair up sohee with shiwoon. Also, robot is so wishy washy on his feelings. Suddenly he's like let's reciprocate shinwoo's feelings because why not. **remembers an episode or so ago when he was still moping and simping for daon but ok then**

It's not even that I ship the ML with Daon. I literally ship nobody in this (well maybe me with the ending since that means the end for my suffering).

Okay.... I do like how out and proud they are and very mushy gushy to each other. Just the road towards this ain't it in my opinion.

Light on me literally should have ended with everybody single af.

The outro is 100% the best part of this series.
