Let me clarify the difference between gay dramas and BLs. This series is a fine example of a gay drama, not a BL. In gay dramas, the focus is on the lives of gay men and their experiences, while BLs explore boys falling in love regardless of their sexual orientation. It's common for boys in BLs to initially pursue girls but later develop feelings for boys, leading to questions about their sexuality. Many BL lead characters don't define their sexual orientation because their attraction is unique to a specific person.

Despite some criticism from the gay community, BL stories are primarily made by women for women. Just like in real life, being straight doesn't mean being attracted to every person of the opposite sex; similarly, BL isn't exclusively gay but rather its own unique plot device. It's more akin to bisexuality, as it revolves around finding a special someone regardless of sexual orientation.

I absolutely adore this series, as much as I disliked "My School President." Gemini and Fourth were phenomenal, and I can't fathom how the acting quality dropped so drastically in MSP. Li Ming and Heart's fluff was beautifully portrayed, making their journey believable and endearing of first love. Their enemies-to-lovers dynamic eclipsed the main couple for me; it was just that good!

Speaking of the main couple, I appreciate how this series delves into the complexities of adult relationships. Love isn't a fairytale; it can be messy, unpredictable, and sometimes, people fall out of love. The struggles of moving on in a long-term relationship are depicted realistically, and the hope of finding love again after heartbreak is a significant theme.

Even though I didn't care much for Kaipai and Alan, I appreciated the theme of their budding romance. Love doesn't wait for the perfect moment when you’re ready. It sneaks up on you unexpectedly, giving hope to those who have faced gut wrenching heartbreak and loss. It gives people hope and the strength to move forward.

While some are upset with Beam's situation, this portrayal reflects the harsh reality for many in the LGBTQIA+ community. I applaud the series for daring to explore the complexities of being in the LGBTQIA+ communities. Beam's situation reflects a harsh reality for many men who struggle with being a bisexual man or a closeted gay man by the comment section. It's essential to shed light on such experiences and the mess due to societal norms.

Unfortunately, many BL fans lack real-life experience and impose their biased views on the gay community. Many do not know people from any of the LGBTQIA+ communities other than what they read on the internet and BL. It's disheartening to see many women BL fans imposing their own social norms and judgments on the gay community, displaying ignorance and fetishization. Often, I find CIS women bashing or correcting gay men’s lived experiences with their social norms which is ridiculous. True support means understanding and respecting their experiences, and this series does a commendable job addressing these issues with Jim and Wen.
