Complete whack but fun (kinda)

"What the heck am I watching?" - Me, at least 20 times in the first 4 eps.

I have to say I'm so fricking glad Toh and Nuea take each other off the dating market, like y'all whackos deserve each other.
It's so over the top and camp, you need to accept that or else this is not gonna be the drama for you. It has some funny moments as well which makes it fun to watch.

Multiple people said the worst of the campness is in the first 4-5 episodes and truly, it gets much better afterwards. SCOY is enjoyable just by watching BillySeng's chemistry. It's great honestly, I am tempted to watch their other work just because I wanna see their chemistry together again. Their acting is good, love the whole popular guy - nerd dynamic.

Besides that, there are plenty other side couples without focusing too much on too many pairings at the same time (like in Between Us for example). They are also great and cute.

What I really appreciate about this drama and really liked is how we have a trans/nonbinary character. The friendship group talks about their struggle about their identity and honestly, the scene really stuck out because it was suddenly very serious and very emotional. Som was my highlight there. She is an amazing female character. Unfortunately, we don't get a lot of them in BLs since there are either a) barely any girls in BLs or b) if there are, they are often antagonists or pretty much insignficant.

Something else I found very interesting is that, we see an actual condom. I don't mean just the packaging but they actually take it out. Like, I've never seen it before in a BL if I remember correctly. Definitely cool.

Overall, if you can overlook the craziness of Toh, it's fun.
