When I started watching this, I didn't know that it'd be a favorite, but it is now.
I started watching this exactly 6 months ago. It was one of those shows I would watch in between waiting for the episodes of currently airing shows, but then I found myself wanting to binge it in the last couple of episodes.
For a show made in 2019, 3 Will Be Free, I have a feeling that it was a breath of fresh air during its time when BLs (esp. GMMTV BLs) were still trying to actually hone in on an inclusive message without falling into the trap of harmful stereotypes. The characters' progression in their relationships does not feel forced or done just for the sake of progressing the relationship. Moments were not added just for the sake that characters dive into fluff or romance. The push and pull and give and take is there. Of course, this show is far from perfect. There are plot points that are glossed over or were never given an exposition, but those didn't take away from the absolutely enthralling dynamics of the trio. Their relationship blossomed beautifully to the end.
And even though we were served by a seemingly late last act/conflict, those still managed to show how deeply the trio feels for each other and not only to tie a loose end. And at the end, it reminds us of what we've always known, love is love, no matter what (or in this case how many).
Even considering all its flaws and rough edges, I could definitely say it's a gem. When I started watching this, I didn't know that it'd be a favorite, but it is now. Great watch!
