Almost perfect

Firstly, let me say, if anyone lets social media rule their life this much, is best you don't be on social media. The level of cyber bullying that was never addressed is ridiculous. Lets not even get started on the stalking that was displayed from those fan fiction page owners (affectionately called "Shippers"), why weren't they charged? nor beaten even just a bit for being so atrocious.
Something I really loved about this story is how he loved him even before he changed. All of the random photos he had of him before his "make over" made his love real. They had romance and mystery, with the introduction of "a guy from a nearby faculty" (might be the wrong name, but you'll figure it out), His introduction as the only friend to Pi was brilliant to me, because of the complexity and dedication it brought to the main character in the story of their love. The main and sub characters had such great chemistry together, appearing to really be a band of old friends that grew up together. Pi and Duean had one of the best brothers relationship I have seen in a BL. They were perfect siblings, supporting and caring for each other in literally all aspects. Their parents also had a good relationship with their children, accepting them for who they are and never seeming to be judgemental of their decisions.

The brilliance of fighting for a love just to avoid who you really love played off quite well, as it was explained to not just be an emotional or mental thing to be in love, but a physical thing... get your mind out of the gutter... the only physical thing they have in this show is the checking of each others heart rate. I love a show that doesn't depict every BL relationship as being simply about sex because we like each other. The playful interaction between the main couple and the side couple, which just happens to be another set of brothers, was really sweet.

They also tackled some serious issues of "No means no" and "I can't help but be me" adding to the authenticity of the characters. They didn't just switch-up who they are, they realised mistakes, took responsibilities and made amends. They literally took the effects of cyberbullying and had the main character overcome it and while he didn't need to change his look to make that boy love him, it was amazing to see how much he overcame. Topped off only with the fact that in the end he embraced his old self marking his final bit of growth in acceptance of himself. Proving that we should never be ashamed of where we came from because it shows how much we have grown.
