Should have been a short
This should have been just the least 30 minutes. Literally, the entire emotional epicenter of the story is captured, and beautifully so, in those last 30 or so minutes. If you want to enjoy this movie... my recommendation is to just FF until you see the mom in the dorm room and then just watch from there. Because then, suddenly, it's a fantastic short about coming out versus staying in the closet and being ready versus being out and the pain of being held in the closet but also the fear of leaving and it's really, really powerful and emotional.The rest of the movie is not that. It's so, so slow up until this that it hurts this ending because by the time you get here you're just... done. And not in the good way. Not, like, being on one character's side.
If this were a thirty minute short, I would probably rewatch all the time. I do, actually rewatch those last thirty minutes occasionally because they're so good.
So... semi-recommended?

Manipulation meets insecurity
Seriously.That's the story of this show. The entire show is about Mork. Mork, who has absolutely no personality traits outside of loving Pi and who uses his supposed popularity to constantly pressure him into their relationship. From stalking him, refusing to give him any time to think or space to never accepting his no to refusing to actually be his friend to threatening to out their relationship if Pi, who has been chronically insecure and uncomfortable with crowds, doesn't do it for him.
Mork repeatedly makes posts about their non-existent relationship despite Pi's objections, including doing a FB live with the stalkers who Pi asked to stop before WITH MORK NEXT TO HIM. Mork also never accepts no, confesses to Pi in public multiple times and generally refuses to respect a single boundary Pi ever tries to have.
Pi's ever attempt to lay down a boundary is met by resistance, no matter how basic that boundary might be. It's honestly depressing.
I, honestly, find this to be the worst BL was a 'happy' ending I've ever watched. It's so bad I'm writing an actual review just to be sure people know.
