Though I thought the acting was good and the story line was decent, this show sends a bad message. I did not like that Type was such a jerk to gay people as a whole because he was molested by a man. While it makes sense, it just shows that Type lacked awareness of his own feelings. He should have seen a therapist and learned to deal with his traumatic past rather than taking out his anger on an entire community of people who have no blame for what happened to him.

There were other faults too. A boy who was molested as a child is not going to fall in love with someone else who molests him, even if he is gay. Type would not have given in to Tharn and if he did, it would be because he thinks he is worthless and does not deserve to be happy so it's good enough to be with someone who hurts and degrades him. That is not exactly the kind of love relationship I want to see. The hate to love trope in this is strong and definitely not worthwhile. Type never trusts Tharn and doesn't ever treat him well. Actually, the entire relationship makes no sense.

Also, Tharn has a deep-seated fear of being left. At least, that is what we see from his behavior. This apparently comes from the fact that Lhong keeps making sure he gets dumped by every past lover. In the end, rather than let Tharn in on the plan to out Lhong, they had Type treat him horribly and then come back later and explain. What would have changed if they had told Tharn from the beginning? Tharn would not have cried and begged. They could have worked it out together. However it seems the writer wanted to perpetuate the bad to worse relationship tropes in this series.

The couple do not grow and face things together. They face things separately and purposefully hurt each other. Type is controlling and abusive: and by abusive I mean emotionally because he treats Tharn like a sex toy who is only worthwhile as long as he does what Type wants and he actually slaps Tharn when Tharn is kissed by someone else. Tharn doesn't initiate it and doesn't perpetuate it, but Type slaps him rather than the guy who tried to kiss him without his consent. How does that make sense? It doesn't, but nothing in this series makes sense.

As much as I love the effort that the actors gave and the great chemistry they had on screen, the entire series is offensive from the first episode to the last. There are actually so many things wrong in this series that it's hard to name them all. I really appreciate the actors, and I'd love to see them in another series, but could we please get a better writer this time?
