I hated the story, I couldn't get over Krisha and Barry's relationship

I wasn’t easy for me to watch this serie because I hated the main storyline, I thought it was horrible and it kept me wondering all the time “how could they do that to her” (I’ll let you know what the main issue was in the next paragraph). I liked that they made an analogy about being in the closet with a fairytale story, I thought it was very original, they also address the difficulties of accepting oneself sexuality and coming out which gives the series a plus and that’s why I gave story a 5.

*explanation without explicit spoiler
There is something that they obviously don't tell you in the synopsis “To move on, Mando goes out with liberated architecture student Krisha and the two become lovers. One fateful day, Barry walks back into Mando's life. Now, he needs to choose -- will it be mind over heart or heart over mind?” and is the relationship between Krisha and Barry and that kills the whole plot for me, it is not that Mando has to decide which one to choose, he actually cheats on her with Barry, and when you know what kind of relationship both of them have, you are left there wondering “hey, wait a minute? Are they going to move forward with the relationship? Why are they not thinking about the girl?”.

*spoiler
It doesn’t matter how much they love each other (they don’t even know each other, they have never spoken more than greeting other than in the dreams they have had, I think it’s just physical attraction), they must haver respected her as a boyfriend and as a brother (Krisha is Barry's sister)!!!!! I can’t conceive how they could be so selfish and lie to her and practically use her. I mean, boy, she is your sister, how could you forget about that??? And the lack of shame?? practically being over each other when she was around, that’s another level of cheating that I can’t tolerate, it was shown that they have a good relationship as sibling and still he did that to her? what could you expect from someone who doesn’t respect their loved ones, the ones they are supposed to love the most, what could you expect for the others? This is just my opinion; I couldn’t get over the fact that Krisha and Barry are "loving" siblings and that ruined the serie for me.
