Knowing how it ends still didn't prepare me
I went into this already knowing the ending, and I'm really grateful for that. I knew the end was coming, but I was still caught off guard by Nuer's death and how little resolution there was. It ends with a promise that Porsche won't eve love someone else, and while that may be romantic to some, I find it to be one of the saddest endings to a story I've ever seen. Not just in BL, but in any story I've ever been invested in in my life. I can't imagine how sad I would have been if I didn't know the ending before hand. I'm glad I was able to prepare myself for what was coming.
If I can pretend the last 15 minutes or so didn't happen, this would be a pretty perfect show. I think it was sweet to see the way Porsche and Nuer's relationship grew, but more so I loved seeing the parents play such a big role. No other BLs (that I've seen so far anyway) have spent so much time focusing on the parents coming to terms with their children's sexuality, and I think it was a pretty realistic portrayal on both sides.
I also really enjoyed the conversations about how being gay isn't a choice. That's also something that doesn't get talked about in BLs. Most of the time, the characters like girls until they happen to like each other, and that's just how things are with no greater discussion, so it was nice to see this show in particular take a more serious note in that aspect. For just 4 episodes, it was a really beautiful journey to be in, I just wish it had a different ending.
