I gave the story a pretty low review, but I enjoyed watching this show. My main gripe was with the non-BL relationships as all but one of the other relationships was uncomfortable and borderline abusive/unhealthy.

Pete/Kao
Enemies to friends to lovers is a cliché but classic storyline and one that I personally enjoy. It really helps the story that New and Tay, pete and kao’s actors, are good friends as they are able to bring a new level of closeness to the couple that you don’t often see. It’s really fun to watch them and try to notice the moments were they stop acting and are just enjoying spending time together. I also like how this couple goes about being gay. They don’t talk about it as much here as they do in the sequel, Dark Blue Kiss, but this couple is the first that I have seen to talk about it in a way that isn’t condescending or fetishing. They take time to talk about their sexualities are have a healthy relationship with their parents.
