The drama deals with one of Life's hefty moral dilemmas. It handles the material sensitively, thoughtfully and intelligently as well as explores what unconditional love between two friends looks like. I always enjoy watching shows like this because I come away with strategies on how to handle difficult circumstances should I find myself in a similar situation. For me, the moral of this drama is that each person is responsible for his or her own happiness while they walk on Earth and that happiness comes wrapped in different shapes and sizes for each individual. So whether or not person one approves of person two's decision does not mean that person two's decision is wrong.

SPOILER ALERT... do not read any further if you wish to avoid spoilers.

The drama revolves around the best-friend friendship of two male 20/21 year olds -- Frame and Earth -- and the same-sex relationship between Earth and Non. Non is 22 years older than Earth. Frame learns an uncomfortable truth regarding Non's background and, from that moment on, Frame is torn between doing what he believes is right for his best friend Earth and knowing that if he exposes the truth he will potentially be wrecking happy lives. Frames wrestles with the notion that once words like this truth are spoken, the hurt and damage can be far reaching. For this reason, Frame is cautious.

It is a fact of life that people do things of which others may or may not approve. The question is, though, Does our 'not approving' of these things mean that those involved have to live their lives according to our wishes? This drama explores the point of view that individuals have the right to make their own decisions whether or not they are good or bad decisions.

In many ways, I saw this presentation through the lens of a gay guy coming out to his family. His family may want life to be completely different for their son but if his parents truly believe in unconditional love, they will accept their son without any drama or fuss. Such an unspoken belief is also something with which Frame wrestles. If his friendship with Earth is truly based on unconditional love, he will simply state his views and leave Earth’s life-choices to Earth without judging him.

I encourage everyone to watch this drama and pay attention to the comments that Frame makes on his Instagram documentary. They are thought-provoking and there are valuable lessons to be learnt.
