Before I even started to get into whatever Why R U was, I had seen one show to start with, that was together with me. I was into it when it was airing, and I came across it on YouTube. I loved the main pair and I loved their chemistry. It was a great show to have started with incomes to my first BL. I was then given a list by one of my friends maybe 2 months ago, maybe less about BL shows that I should watch because we just finished the untamed witch was also amazing. Some shows she had watched, some shows she was planning to watch, so I got started on her list. So, before I even got into Why R U and was exposed to what it was, I had watched Tharn type, Theory of love, and together with me. Then I started watching Why R U. From the jump this show was different for me, there was just something about Saint and Zee that stood out for me from the beginning, I started watching the show when they were up to episode 5, so I got into a bit late, but it consumed me. Everything about Saint and Zee/TTFT character was everything to me up to episode 5. As I again as watching this show on YouTube, I needed all the information I could get when it comes to whom these actors were and what this show was all about. So, I jumped into BL twitter for the first time for Why R U and made sure I was up to date on everything. I watched every Friday on one 31 and then the rerun online TV. Maybe I am the only one who feels like this when it comes to why are you, but the show is perfect for me. I mean as I said, I watched multiple other bls Before, super popular ones, and nothing has ever hit me as hard as this show. For me, every episode was amazing. That is all because of fighter and Tutor and Saint and Zee's portrayal of them. Their chemistry in the show was undeniable in these characters. It completely made the show for me. For some reason, the other main leads did nothing for me. I tried to watch their story, I tried to get into them, I was unbiased. I had no exposure to anyone in this show but from the jump until now their story was not it for me at all. I get that they were cute, but compared to the story we got with FTTT, I did not care for them. I never really got how they got from point A to point B so fast and their relationship developed into something more so much quicker than TTFT. The kissing scenes were amazing for TTFT, and so where the love scenes. People saying there were too many have no idea what a healthy regular LGBT couple in their honeymoon phase looks like. People kiss a lot, people have sex a lot, that is normal. They are showing you what is normal. Nothing about their love scenes were porn, they were tame IMO. It is leveling on homophobic the criticism that TTFT love scenes and kiss scenes get compared to SZ because SZ was cute and tame in comparison. That is not real-life friends. I also want to give a huge Praise to Zee because he's acting in episodes 11 and 12 truly made me cry harder than I ever had for a show. Same with Saint, I have never been that heavily affected by a breakup of the scene in my life. I think this show would have been perfect IMO if they scrapped all the side characters except Hwahwa and Day and Zol and made SZ relationship into one of the side characters as well. I never really care about inside characters in these shows, none of the BLS I have watched have I ever been into the side characters, so Why R U does not change that for me. It was an amazing show and would have been a 10 across the board if it were not for SZ and the side characters that for me, felt extra and unnecessary.
