If you watch this with your eyes and ears closed and your brain turned off, then it's fine

Decided to watch after reading a lot of good reviews and recommendations, but honestly it was my biggest dissapointment among all bl dramas i've ever watched.
First of all, the plot is such a mess. Why was arranged marriage necessary in the first place? And why the parents never even thought that their kids' might be hetero? (For real, how did they guess their orientation?)
Secondly, did the scriptwriters forget about character development? In the first episode we can see how differently Kuea acts around friends and Lian. It would have been great to whitness how Kuea opens up with time to Lian. But instead, we got Kuea's constant fear of not living up to Lian's expectations and plenty of lies from both sides.
Lian and Yi act like control freaks. It was very uncomfortable to watch how they treat Kuea and Khondiao. At first Lian tells Kuea how he hates him and then makes him move to a new house with cameras all over the place. That is not love.
Also, i hate how authors presents relationship of both couples as very cute. Is it cute to completely control your partner? Is it cute when your partner is literally scared of you?
Side characters like Syn and Nuer are fine. Except for the Kuea's mother. God, i hate this woman. Why in the world does she trust Lian more than her own son? Why she never asks about Kuea's point of view? Everyone treats him as a dumb child. That's actually the main problem of the series. Romantic relatioship is about equality and consent. What a surprise, we see none of this in the relationship of the main characters.
Just a waste of time. This show shouldn't have got so much recognition.
