Just the best BL you will find out there. Why? Because it's healthy, it's well written, the actors actually has good chemistry and, the most important, it was made for us, the LGBTQ community. It has no stereotype, no "i don't like men, i only like you" bullshit, no internalized homophobia and no commercial soft porn. It's not for straight cis girls to feed their fetish, it's a lovely, romantic story for US, the LGBTQ. We can't say it about a lot of other BLs. People will probably say "oh, but BL it's made from women to women" like they are oh so right. But not this story, no. In here there's zero heteronormativity. There's no dude saying shit like "you will be my wife" or "let me touch your boobs". There's no r*ape being normalized and romanticized. There's no "strong" guy and "weak" guy. The director and his team took every bad trope that exist in the BL industry and threw it in the garbage. He did an amazing job. He said "fuck off" to all that bad stuff and created a good rom-com. He took the enemies to lovers trope and made it HEALTHY (and that was never made right in this industry before)! He took an actor who never played BL before and made him feel comfortable. There's not even one awkward scene between the actors. They being friends (the main couple) it could've go in the completely wrong direction, but it did't. It's comfortable to watch. Their performance is believable and lovely. This series is a breath of fresh air. It took bad BL tropes and made it good. I don't believe nothing will ever surpass it, but this director maybe can surprise us again.
