How is this so popular!
I've only just recently entered the BL world and this was one of my first ones. I don't give a damn how hot or popular these actors are, this was so toxic and gross!
The casual way in which it romanticised and glamourised sexual assault, child rape, and incest (even if it wasn't explicitly stated we all know what was implied) was just so problematic.
And yes I do blame the actors in part, they need to take responsibility. If you have any integrity in your craft - and as human - you should be turning down roles that conflict which your values (assuming you have any and it's not just all about money and fame)
It also says a lot about the attitudes and perspectives of the intended audience which is scary to be honest and goes to show we have a long way to go to improve.
I won't say much more as many people have posted similar reviews. All I can say is don't watch this and voice your opinion for better BL shows to come out of Asia because I know they are capable of it and this New Zealander would like to see it.
