Uhm...what is going on?
I was quite excited when I started this series because I heard there was going to be a Korean remake and I wanted to know what all the hype was about plus I loved Zee in Cutie pie!
Then came the storyline which was all over the place but I could forgive that because I thought the acting of the main couple was superb! But alas, if a story is so bad not even a good cast can save that...
The storyline is supposed to be a parody of your typical BL but instead it is yet another bland cliché. Even the serious topics it tries to discuss are overdone and unoriginal takes. As for the story, you know it and *I* usually love it! But this time? No.
Boy has a rival, and the rival pretends to be a rival but actually secretly has a crush on him and they get forced proximity and slowly start to fall for each other whilst everybody and their mom ships them together. And this happens twice. Talk about original!
On top of that it was not clear to me at first who the actual main couple was (surprise, it is not Zon and Saifah who we meet in the first few episodes, no it's TutorFight who are supposed to be the main couple). And this did not get better as towards the end of the series, THREE other side couples appear who I honestly could not care about less...
The characters do not have any consistent development and the pacing of the series is also wayyy off towards the point that I have no clue how long they've been together at the end.
...on top of that, episode 13 starts off with Fight sexually assaulting Tutor???????? I don't care that Tutor was obviously still in love with Fight and only broke up with him because of Fight's father what the actual f*ck! AND NO ONE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS ?????????? HELLO??? I THOUGHT WE AS A SOCIETY MOVED ON FROM ROMANTICIZING SEXUAL ASSAULT AND BORDERLINE RAPE. I'm very disappointed in this series and sad for the cast who deserved a better story.
