Not Worth Watching IMO...

I was excited to see that another BL has premiered from a BL Instagram account! And it's pretty good so far. The story is pretty simple; just two roommates living with another. However, I really liked that there was only one setting/location, the room, which made the atmosphere feel intimate and comforting. I also liked how the confident gay and panicked gay trope is playing out so far with them sleeping on the same bed and sharing a bathroom that has an opaque see-through-ish door. I'm excited to see the next episode!

Episode 2 was quite dull. The introduction of the ML's best friends who are also yaoi fangirls was awkward and totally unnecessary. All the drama felt manufactured in this episode. Nothing was natural, sweet or kilig.

Episode 3 was nice as James and Sky had their first kiss though their relationship was way too rushed. After their kiss, which was an accident of which one of them was drunk, there was literally a montage of them doing couple things. Like what? There's still 7 more episodes in this series. How will they fill it out when all the cute, sweet couple moments were edited into a montage?

Episode 4 was a bore with the unnecessary filler scenes with the best girl friends, who were so annoying. It was also kinda problematic with a possible rape/ambiguous consent. I'm glad that there will be one more episode to answer this.

Well, the Special Episode was so bad. I cannot! The entire duration of the episode focused on the annoying girl best friends and and the fangirl photographer. LIke what was the point of focusing on them? They literally serve nothing to the table. Nothing! The finale where the two ML's kiss was nice though a little too late. All in all, the series started off cute and sweet and became such a bore.
