WORST BL I’VE SEEN
I’ve been going through most of the comments and reviews and seeing great reviews, and I’m genuinely confused as to why that is. I didn’t want to say anything, but it feels like a few others on here and myself included are the only ones with common sense.Going into this I want to point out that I’m not showing any hate to the actors. My opinions are just based off the characters in the show, which is a work of fiction, and the positive reviews.
I want to start off by saying I didn’t like how Hira showed stalker/ obsessive behavior. When I started the show I didn’t even realize that he was into him in a negative way. If none of the viewers noticed that well… The most obvious part that made me realize that he was being creepy with his crush was when he grabbed his photo and literally snuggled him up next to him?! Another thing that really bugged me is how blinded he got and oversaw how toxic Kiyoi was and the way he treated him was literally horrible, yet he still went crawling back to him.
My next point is about Kiyoi. His character was honestly just not a good person at all. He had his mini moments when he wanted to be “nice” to Hira, but overall he still was so unhealthy for him. I will admit that I felt bad for him in the episode when they made us see why he acted in such a rude way, but just because you’re going through something doesn’t justify you treating people like trash.
Ex. When he kicked Hira for absolutely no reason!
I really thought after his episode we were going to see a character development, but he stayed the same.
I know that every BL couple shouldn’t be all rainbow and sunshine, but if you want a couple that shows flaws this was not the way to go about it. They both made many mistakes between one another, yet Kiyoi never apologized for all the negative things that did to him! If they were going to show a toxic relationship between them they should’ve made them notice that they weren’t being healthy towards one another and should give each other space, during that break they could’ve had character developments and brought them back together letting them have a strong relationship, or to show in the end how they’re relationship dynamic was.
Honestly I think that if they were going to leave Kiyoi’s character like that they should’ve let Hira end up with his college friend. His friend literally built his confidence in speaking and treated him WONDERFULLY. The second that he saw Kiyoi again in the restaurant he started going back to his head down and getting nervous to speak. Kiyoi was just being downright disrespectful and annoying because Hira kept stuttering, and luckily his friend was talking to him and telling him that it was okay and just being a good person. It still baffles me that he ended up choosing Kiyoi whenever he had to pick between the two.
Overall I don’t know what everybody raves about this show. There was no character development and the plot was disappointing.
