Matched each other's freaks and mine too

This drama gets so much flack on twitter and tiktok but this is actually peak camp queer romcom.

Short review of the things I like:
- Flamboyant gays as the main character! Like they're not trying to cater for female audience in the sense that the usual cishet women is not the audience for Toh and Daisy's charms. Usually BL leads attempt quite hard to cater to the female gaze but I'm just happy to see more flamboyant gay leads (or "tootsies" as Daisy said in the series)

- Great character development, for everyone.

- the stalking is less invasive than what other people made it seem to be and although Toh crosses the line quite a bit, he learns a lot and is quite sensitive to feedback.

- I love that they don't do a makeover for Toh. Seng the actor is incredibly beautiful and I just appreciate that they kept the bowlcut and glasses - they just made him more and more charming by improving his personality. Showing how charming he is without having to change his looks is an exquisite choice.

- Love the friendship group. Everyone is supportive and cute.

- The comedy is so up my alley. I love laughing out of secondhand embarassment.

- Second lead couple is charming but doesn't steal the spotlight. Perfect balance.

Things I don't necessarily like:
- I hate seeing women fighting over men. Like. Don't piss me off.

Other than that I really enjoy this and would recommend.
