I have a lot of issues with this drama... Although the premise is good, the fact remains that Khai is really the most arrogant seme I have ever encountered in a BL drama. He was a jerk to Third and he did a lot of things that were not just mean but also hurtful. It actually pained me to see Third loving at the same time getting hurt by Khai multiple times in the show. This is actually another example of a toxic relationship. Although Khai was an arrogant jerk in the beginning, he did had a character development in the end and changed his ways.. but the scene where he realized his feelings for Third was really lacking for me. It felt too rushed and like it had no chemistry or it was a bit dry. It was like the relationship was pushed or forced so that they could end up together (the straight/player/arrogant seme guy falls for the gay guy trope) is basically what I'm seeing here.
In the end though, the two of them end up together so it's a postive note for some of the viewers. I'm not going to discourage people to watch this but if you're into this trope, you can watch it. I just find the character of Khai to be disappointing and it would have been better if the show addressed LGBT issues better. Like in realistic situations, how would someone feel about liking the opposite gender or what struggles would they face in the community and how would they cope it or how would they solve it so that they can be accepted by people who ostracized them. It's difficult to find shows that addresses this well.
Anyway, What I can leave as a positive note though for this show is that the acting is good. I'm glad that the actors portrayed their characters well in the story.
