Something a 15-yo would come up with

I feel bad for saying this cuz I can see this show had good intentions and the finale was pretty cute, but it's still so stupid! Do they want me to believe in the emotions and situations they are presenting? There is no depth or nuance. The characters are all adults, yet they all behave like pre-teens with the exception of maybe Mork. Maybe. Tawan is too naive. I understand being relatively young and having not a lot of emotional baggage, especially with relationships, but they could use some sensibility with that trait. Some complexity. But there is none. If a character is naive, then they’re too naive; if a character is helpful and considerate, then they’re too helpful and too considerate; if a character is too immoral, then they’re too immoral. It’s something a 15-yo would come up with.

I admit the main couple is very cute, mostly due to Mork being adorable and very pleasing on the eyes (that man is beautiful from head to toe), and there was some cute chemistry there too. I also liked the older gay couple. It’s something we don't often see in these BLs and the characters were fun. Didn't care about the rest. The cheating storyline? No words! The show got significantly better after they resolved that (it only took eight episodes out of ten!), but that was not enough to save the whole thing.

I understand the need for not so thoughtful entertainment for whenever we feel like just consuming something easy and pleasing to watch. But then again, I think the BL audience deserves better than this vapid stuff full of nonsensical plotlines and irrational characters. They had the chance to approach some strong themes and concepts, but it seems like they just chose to go for the cheapest options with all of them. For a show that took so long to get made and to be released, this feels like a waste of money and effort. Could’ve stayed in the drafts.
