Contains spoilers and this is going to be unpopular opinion I guess
I know my review is going to be unpopular opinion but here it goes.
Almost all characters in this show is flawed and that is good in a way as we all humans are but I personally like drama where even if people are flawed, they realize things and change their way and there is growth and redemption in someway. Below are the things which is felt about the show and characters:
1. Knocks character: Knock has girlfriend but he goes drinking with two girls and Korn and initiates kissing with a girl but then both Korn and Knock are drunk and end up having sex but Knock is angry at Korn like he committed crime? They both were drunk, so it was equal fault but for him to act like it was all Korn’s mistake was getting on my nerves. His girlfriend doesn’t know what he is allergic to while all his friends know, Utah is a huge red flag and then he says it was Korn’s fault for treating her badly? Seriously dude, use some of the brain cells. Text her and tell. “COMMUNICATE”. She is different infant of instagram camera and offline, red flag and even after people telling that, he still does not understand and notice that? She does not spend time with him at all, red flag? She says she is coming at 5 but doesn’t show up till 7 so can’t he “message” her and tell hey it’s 7 and you are not here so I am leaving? Why on earth doesn’t he see all these red flags? WHERE THE HELL IS COMMUNICATION IN THIS RLEATIONSHIP or his relationship with Korn??? He has girlfriend but he kisses and sleep with Korn but then he hurts him again? Why on earth CHEATING is okay? It’s okay if you are confused, just be honest with both go them!! Even if Plren is mentally unstable person, you need to be honest in relationship!!
2. Korn character: He is comfortable with himself, straight-forward and honest. When Knock asked about Mew he told directly, no beating around the bush. He is flirty with Knock but he doesn’t cross the line. He confessed to Knock but he did no make a move until he Knock himself kissed first. Why is Korn with Knock when he doesn’t reciprocate his love and trust him and why is he going behind someone who doesn’t love him the way he wants to be loved?
3. Plern, Prae, Mikki character: Ladies, get a life. So clingy and pathetic. Plern is such a double faced character and manipulative and why on earth is she clingy to Knock? I still do not get it. If she want’s relationship only on the instagram then why can’t she find someone else? She doesn’t know her boyfriend is allergic to shrimp? She would have killed him. Even Yihwa being a friend knows that. How can someone “STEAL” an adult grown man? Dman, these languages in the show needs to change as people in real life also imitate and seek this way. And Prae changing her love interest from Farm to Bright? I am like seriously?!?!?! Mikki: girl get a life. You can’t stalk people!!! Not legal!! What Plern did with the “serum” is fraud but no legal action for that? All the stalking, manipulation and creepy ways to hurt people and at the end they are all still okay? I mean I know this happens in real life too but still you would want to see some justice.
4. Farm-Bright relationship: Don’t even get me started on that. My blood boils. I do not feel comfortable when there is Rape/non-consent and exploitation and abuse and assault and if I start to wrote about it, it’s going to be a huge article so I want to just say that Bright needs to be in jail and undergo therapy and reform himself and Farm needs to be in therapy to heal himself from the trauma.
5. Kavita-Phu relation: Phu, you need to take care of your mess? Why do people in this show, just push everything under the mat and not explain? He just left Mikki assume that Kavita was girlfriend based on photos and did not clear misunderstanding. He knows how things are causing issues for the lecture and still he doesn’t want to take care of his mess? He lied to her saying dropping out and kisses her? Seriously? There is no ACCOUNTABILITY in this show for lot of characters.
6. Yihwa: Solid female character, non-judgmental and supportive friend, extremely smart and without her, there wouldn’t be Korn-Knock. She is the kind of friend everyone should have in their life.
7. Fai: Again solid female character, smart, minds her business, good friend. We need more representation of character like Fai and Yihwa in all stories rather than Plern kind.
8. Plot wasn’t the usual damsel in distress or one of the BL couple needs to be more “soft” or “feminine” to be in the relationship. It was refreshing to see that change
9. Chemistry between Korn and Knock was really good and the intimate scenes were not awkward like some other BL series where you as a viewer start feeling uncomfortable because the actors aren’t comfortable.
10. Overall bad to okayish storyline. Acting and music was good.
I hate that most shows (BL/non-BL) start to normalize forceful kisses/sex/physical intimacy when it is clearly assault and rape or normalize stalking behavior or lying or cheating to fall in “love” or go behind someone who doesn’t love you the way you to be loved. You expect the other person to change but that won’t happen because they are being themselves and then the issues in relationship starts. Also no communication and trust is like a main theme everywhere.
Why can’t there be a show where people show communication skills between couples, trust, honesty and consent which portrays what a healthy relationship should look like.
