DONT TRUST THE REVIEWS.

I put off watching this series for so long because it had so much hate and people said things that just straight up werent true about it- I should always remember that star wars had overwhelmingly bad reviews when it debuted in 1977 too (thats always my reference when I see something has bad reviews) but the warnings that I read from people scared me off. So im not going to spoil anything or even review this really, I just want others to give this show a chance because Im glad I did and it doesn't deserve the bad rap its been given.

S/A scene:
Yes. There is a scene where a character attempts to sexually assault another. It doesnt get very far, the offender gets punched in the face, and then its over. It has barely any screen time and had a fairly realistic resolution tbh. And the claims Ive seen about the guy who did it being a victim of SA himself? Not true at all. Not even hinted at. I can't speak for the novel, but from my point of view as someone who has only seen the show, this seems like a huge reach based on nothing. If you like Tharntype, 2gether or history4close to you- those all have worse in them than TonhonChonlatee.

This series is loveable, and the characters all seemed extremely realistic l, especially for a BL. I seriously have friends that remind me of Ni, Ai and Miriam (I am obsessed with this trio); Chon's mom is AMAZING; Ton's parents are very realistic and actually have a pretty unique storyline for problematic BL parents; Amp is terrible and I hate her but thats GOOD because youre supposed to hate her. Again I dont want to spoil anything, but I was seriously looking for things to hate while watching this series and found nothing. I loved all of the plotlines, the characters responses seemed reasonable and honest (so rare for BL) and overall I really recommend giving it a shot because there isnt a single flaw with this show that isnt extremely objective.
