So… this is gonna be a lot, but…
I LOVED this show. Even though the first couple of episodes were VERY hard to watch because of the second hand embarrassment from Toh. However, I’m glad that I stuck with it, because Nuea and Toh did not disappoint! For the most part, they were just the right mix of sweetness, jealousy, and spice. Although, it is pretty weird how calm Nuea was about the stalking(and that’s putting it nicely at this point🫣) I mean, he even made it into a makeshift museum…🤔 Nevertheless, good for them and their.. quirkiness?
On another note, one of my FAVORITE things about this show(aside from the fact their friend group is the most chaotic and absolute best thing ever!) was the relationship between SkyJao. The way that Sky was allele to recognize everything that Jao needed from every step of the relationship. The way Sky took it just fast enough that Jao noticed his feelings, but not so fast that Jao gets insecure or scared of it them. And the way he encourages Jao to be himself, whatever it is, and makes him feel nothing but validation in how Sky feels for him or his looks. But at the same time, once Jao confirmed his feelings were not only matching, but also that Jao was ready to handle more, Sky definitely didn’t treat him like he had no experience..🤭 Honestly, they really surprised me with how kinky they are! Like I thought NueaToh was bad, but SkyJao are better! What with the (very excessive) biting, the choking(WHAT? little Jao is into choking?🫠) and even the way they are always kissing and acting cute(which is a total shift for Jao). They are such a cute, unproblematic couple, and I LOVE IT!
I’ll be honest, though, this show could have easily been a favorite had they handled things better with Touch and Daisy! For one, the lack of screen time they got was very disappointing! Especially because they were easily the cutest couple in the whole show(IMO). I mean, come on, did y’all see how Touch looks at her?🥹 But the fact they kinda just skip over the whole thing with Daisy/Day having her identity crisis, and the fact they mention it is because of her wanting to make him comfortable, but didn’t show us anything about how he felt, Sucked! Especially since, the following episode we see both Toh and Jao tackling their issues from that episode. And a couple episodes later, we see Touch and Daisy together, and flirting, but hadn’t addressed the situation at all. And then in the last episode, not only do we only get a resolution to the issue in 2 little sentences, but we only got a total of about 1 minute worth of them being together after that. And it wasn’t even consecutive, just in the background.
I was also pretty disappointed that Saint only got a couple of scenes, I was really excited to see him in something else. But seeing as he was the director, I understand he was busy😅.
Overall, this show is AMAZING though, I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to watch BLs. And I would absolutely watch it again. The acting was great, and the overall story was good too. It was definitely different than what I’m used to, which is another plus. The main soundtrack is mostly just the one theme song used repeatedly, but I kinda liked it that way. I think the casting was done really well, everyone has great chemistry, and they did a great job on their characters.
