Must Watch Show That Deserves a Season 2
This show is really a must watch for anyone who enjoys BLs but especially ones that are able to tackle more realistic storylines. Well I don't think that everything was done perfectly I do believe that this show had a great cast of actors who were all able to properly portray their characters and really let them shine. The acting in lower budget dramas from my experience can sometimes be a little questionable and hard to watch at times but I think that everyone did a wonderful job in that regard.
One of my favorite things about this series is not only the representation that it had but also the manner in which it went about portraying it. With a lot of BLs they can tend to have a more idealistic approach to them which is definitely needed at times but also can get a bit repetitive if they go about them the same way. I do not think that this show had that problem at all. With that realistic approach it allowed for both the good and bad sides of being a member of the LGBTQ+ community to shine through and also how the circumstances in which one is brought up can affect their perception. And that is something that I really appreciate being portrayed.
I will say that one thing that I wish was better resolved which makes me think they're going to try and do in a season 2 is the dynamics that the main cast have with the adult figures in their lives. A lot happened in the final episode and so those plots still felt very unfinished and some didn't necessarily leave off with a satisfying conclusion. And so if the show doesn't get a season 2 I think that would bring the overall story down because there wasn't necessarily a "proper ending". But all in all with the show being a relatively shorter series I do think that some of the things that they were able to do with the time that they had in the show prior to that slightly make up for it.
But overall I really hope that more people are able to watch this show because it has some truly truly amazing moments and I hope that it can get the season 2 that it deserves to be able to further develop this amazing cast of characters.
