A Different Perspective

It’s interesting and cute but I have seen a lot of BLs and this is nowhere near as good as I read. First are we supposed to believe that they only have female friends. The females are really annoying. It’s so stereotypical. I like the two main characters and I understand they have issues to resolve but I find the female characters to be intrusive. What female just walks into a persons apartment, sees one in just a towel and acts as if it’s nothing. my five and six year old grandchildren know that’s not acceptable. And the older sister seems to go crazy thinking about the two guys. Telling the guys to kiss. She’s a grown woman. Too neurotic for me. As I said it’s a nice story but not as entertaining as so many others. There is a message there but it’s not really dealt with until the last two episodes. I did like the ending and the scenes with the two main leads were terrific. Some of the narratives sounded like speeches. I have a brain . I can figure out the obstacles without you telling me...and that’s what actors convey in their gestures and interaction. The music is okay. There is no tune that actually stands out. It’s just ordinary background music. Again this bl presented a different perspective which is relevant. But I don’t get the intrusive sister role. Maybe it’s a
cultural thing . I was allowed to make my own decisions as were my siblings and cousins. Our parents were open with their opinions and offered advice but in the end we were allowed
to make our own choices. But we were also taught never to judge. The sister was just a turn
off for me. Her phony accent was so irritating. I
would have preferred she spoke in her native tongue. Overall I see the good intentions which
is why I didn’t give a higher score.
