A cute love story ruined by incest, rape, and annoying characters

This started off mostly well - the love story between Ae and Pete is really sweet and it was so nice to have an openly gay character. They have a pretty grown up relationship which was good to see. If the whole show had been about them, I'd have rated it much higher. But sadly, it wasn't.
Everything else is beyond gross or annoying. Why no reviews mention Tum and Tar being two ACTUAL brothers in love with each other and the wrongness of it is beyond me! I kept waiting for the bit where you find out one's adopted to make it sightly less disgusting but that never happened. I'm not sure why they felt the need to have Tar be a rape victim other than, in some sick way, they thought it legitimised him being in love with his brother as he couldn't trust other men, and there's never any explanation as to why Tum is in love with his sibling. When Tum tells Tar he's in love with him, Tar says his rape is the reason why Tum shouldn't love him - YOU SHOULDN'T LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE'S YOUR BROTHER, YOU SICK F*CK!
As for the other characters, Kla stalks then rapes No which then ends with cute music and a hand job like it's fine - WHICH IT ISN'T!!! Tin is insanely gorgeous and I actually enjoyed the character development, but his relationship with Can is mostly him forcing Can (who looks waaay too young and is possibly mentally retarded) to kiss him against his will until Can starts enjoying it. The females in it - Can's sister, Ley, and Ae's fan, Champoo - are both insanely irritating, and Pond is a pervert who manages to still get a girlfriend despite being a deluded sleaze and a porn addict. They also do a product placement for face whitening cream like it's not sad that such a thing even exists.
All of my stars are for AePete, and I judge the sh*t out of anyone not offended by this show which, apart from AePete, is an insult to the LGBTQ community, rape victims, and men in general.
