The picture for this show depicts a big group of friends, which is confusing given the summary's focus on the main BL couple of Golf and Bank. It's true the show couldn't exist without their drama, but it also isn't the main focus of the show either. Because of the unique character of their relationship (they are step-brothers), the show dedicates itself to legitimizing their choice to be together by demonstrating the diversity of family structures and who people choose to love. Essentially, if we can accept families with a kid living with a grandparent, another kid who is adopted by a wealthy couple, a kid who has to moms, or two boys brought together by the marriage of parents, why can't we accept that two guys who love each other want to be a family too? I can't leave out the kid who becomes family with a teacher through the care of a sick mother. What impresses me is that the show took the story from the film, but focused more on advocating for inclusiveness instead of gawking at the taboo couple at the center of the story.

That doesn't mean the show is perfect. The way it was filmed was a disaster, and the actor who played Bank could have been a little better. But Cooper, the actor who played Golf, put in a good effort and he is instantly likable because of the character's tragic past. The whole friend group is treated as real people, with backstories and dramas of their own, something you don't see too often. It's a shame we don't get as much resolution as we would like, and it's a shame there was no second season to see what happens with Tom, the closeted kid, and Jackson, the boyfriend who is going to be left at the altar. A real shame.
