The right to love.

First, the love scenes….OMG best and sweetest I have ever seen. They had chemistry. I also like how they handled the consent in the scene when they had their first time together.

What I really enjoyed was how they calmly discussed real issues for a lot of the LGBTQ community in so many countries. They discuss how they will have no legal rights as a married couple. That no matter what happens they will see it through together and stay together. (Inferring that though their community, country, and culture’s view of same sex marriage.) My favorite line was something like “This is the reason we have so many problems. Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart. Love is love. “

I am so happy to see a BL show that is not violent, or some kind of date rape scenario. We are getting closer and closer to main streaming.

I think this show took a lot of guts to attempt. Ina sense they went out on a limb. We all know what sells in the BL genre. This production did not rely on the standard attention getting sensational nonsense that is nothing like real life. (I am referring to the evolution of a love relationship. I think we can all agree that an aristocrat and a commoner from another country would probably not arrange a same sex marriage.) They relied on the acting, the sweet message, and the writing. It may be a little campy and the story may be far fetched. It is not meant to be some real life drama. It is a happy romantic love story that has some hot but not gross love scenes, that addressed some social and political issues.

FYI the behind the scenes is pretty cute. Especially the two leads. I think someone may have had a legit crush. Cute!
