Realest types of men
I'll write this short and simple, this drama was so real that even I related to it.In this story Young dates the most canonically accurate men in one's journey about learning about gay life and love. We have:
1. The man ready to risk it all but you/yourself are not ready, only to leave with regret and what ifs
2. The man that uses you to study homosexuality or the "CURIOUS" people of this world
3. Right man, right time but soon falters as time has other plans
I might be speaking from experience because I for one have experienced all three, but sheesh was this drama an nail to the head. I honestly was more dumbfounded than I was happy watching it cause damn did it hit. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, believe me I did! The quality is exceptional, from the actors, to music, to editing, to directing, to the script, and to the ending (more in spoiler), it all works. This is a show made to and possibly was born to tell a story, a story that is to be seen/heard and not be forgotten. I would say this is not for the fluffy bl watchers, absolutely not. This is for the people who wants to learn, understand and witness how life is on the rainbow. This is a show to truly show how it is to love in the big city.
Small side comment tho:
I really thought that gyu ho might be his end game because everything felt natural really, you go through those types of phases as you are in a relationship, up and down and vice versa! I felt gyu ho's struggle when they essentially broke up just cause he was going to china, but hey I have to admit not everyone is a fan of ldr. Buuuut it was the way gyu ho might even try just for go young. Like you can see how madly inlove gyu ho was with him! I'm sure he would give the world to him! But as go young said himself, he still needed to find himself and maybe he still wasn't ready. But I really wanted them endgame sooo maybe a special ep to see them get together? I honestly don't need another season (unless this isnt the whole story from the novel) because everything felt right already.

Simple done very well!
A massive congratulations to the cast and crew for a well thought off bl! I am forever in love with the cast (especially you andy chen!!!) and will forever cherish them in my heart!Weeks ago when this was airing ep 1 and 2, I just saw this series on my fyp on TikTok and thought to myself that this might just be a silly Taiwanese series just for the vibes (cause I saw the truth or dare scene! the kiss was what reeled me in!), but woah was it more than that!
I might sound like I'm overhyping the quality, but c'mon you gotta admit everything was done soo well! The song choice, the camera angles, the script, and the lighting?! The production team carried a lot as well as the actors! I honestly was not prepared for what is to come, and honestly am very thankful for this rollercoaster of a show! We went through so much in such little time and I would applaud how the pacing fits sooo well!
This series so simple, like it has the most basic Taiwanese bl plot of step brother but it is sooo well done! It had it's own unique flair and style! I will forever love you Shang Weng and Jiang Tian ( and Gao Tianyang MY HUBBY) This is definitely forever one of my top bls to date!

love, friendship, and LIFE
I seriously enjoy this show, and I really really mean it!!To start off I agree with the hosts in the end, that show showed more emotional learning, than it is for the drama as people find that "entertaining". I love the building of both friendship and relationship and truly loved it was called The Boyfriend so it has the double meaning of friends and relationship!
I appreciated how (despite yes it was pretty fast paced I get itt) we got almost all aspects of learning from these boys, and I really appreciate their lives and courage for coming in to the show! I enjoyed learning about them and how they like to live life, it makes me think about me life as well hahaha I really love the hosts who can give such good input on the situations!
And OMG the songs!! Please everything was so good!
So cheers to the boys and everyone who worked on this show, it truly was a dating show that literally gave life!! I say really one of the best reality dating show ever!!
A short review but I want bump up the rating as it truly deserves a high rating!! hahahah
