It could have been better

The show started out strong but then got slower and slower as each eisode went on to the point I found myself wanting to not finish this, which is sad because I felt like that show had potential. The final episode was honestly a mission to watch through and took me a number of days to find the motivation to finish.
Outside of revealing plot points or drama to move the plot forward, there were so many scenes that were lackluster. Scenes among the friends had no proper conversation or banter, and didn't build character depth, and some scenes felt especially long and drawn out for no reason.
The show relied on a lot of flashbacks to build backstory for Him and Blue, but many of them felt pointless, and at times even confusing, and weirdly in or out of sequence. Plus on completing the show I really feel like Blue was introduced to create shallow drama and really didn't give much to the story at all.
The motivations for the antagonists seemed one dimensional and not well fleshed out due possibly to lack of character depth. I want to note that I mean ALL motivations for the antagonists, this includes Te's switching of love interests as well. And there were far too many issues that were resolved too quickly and easily after making so much drama throughout the series.
I could not relate nor enjoy the romance between the secondary BL couple as I found the relationship cringy and annoying, and I didn't understand why or how the two could be attracted to or interested in eachother.
For the third BL couple I feel like Te's love interest came in too late, and should have been a bonus episode rather than included in the show.
I also don't understand why we actually didn't see more of the other romances throughout the entirety of the show, perhaps this was due to editing but I think these could have been used to break up some of the long slow scenes.
Some things were just over-the-top like Type's big face off with Chao, and some of the later NC scenes - hint: they really put their foot in it.
Finally, I also understand for some people it can be difficult to keep the exact same tone of blonde for several weeks/months, but the fact that I could tell order the scenes were filmed in based on regrowth really ruined my viewer experience.
All that being said, I really enjoyed the earlier NC scenes and the flirting between the main couple during the first couple of episodes, and those scenes at least are worth a watch in my opinion. I really love to see a strong and sassy uke in a BL.
The Charlie's Angels scene, I thought was fun, and I would also like to quickly mention that I appreciated the girl group supported Nail, rather than being the antagonists like in many other shows.
The biggest thing that kept me watching was Ryan (Dream) in this, his smile makes me smile every time.
Overall this particular show won't be one I'll rewatch or recommend unless someone wants to watch the first few episodes for the NC scenes.
