My first favorite.
I don't know how to explain how I went from hating this series on the first episode to being completely in love with everything in this series by the end, but I'll try my best.
The way I screamed when I saw the main couple from this series in Why R U? should indicate how in love I got.
At first I couldn't deal with the offensive names used in the series. But to anyone who wants to watch this, please... watch the second episode... keep watching. Everything is explained and it kinda makes sense. As a social psychology master, I can assure you...... it all makes sense.
This series touches some very important issues like internal homophobia, rape, abduction and toxic and abusive friends. However, I must say it portrayed these issues better than some darker and colder series. For some people this might make this series dramatic, for me it gave all characters depth and a reason to exist, a story to tell. Not just a love story, but a character development story.
All of the cast is unbelievably talented and the story is thought well enough that I couldn't predict any of the plot twists. To understand to the extent of how good the cast is you will have to watch this series but let me just say how sometimes, the characters didn't have to say anything for them to convey their emotions.
And for those who are wondering... it does have that spice that you don't find in many BLs. It might be weird of me to mention this. But like I say to all my friends, just like in a book there are ways and ways to write a kiss or a sex scene and sometimes it feels cringe or weird. In a BL series I feel the same way. It takes two really good actors and a really good script for a really good kiss or sex scene to occur. And this series leaves almost nothing to the imagination.
