Not a BL

I still believe that the story here is morally wrong. Dying in a car crash that was self inflicted because your upset that your mom found out your gay is no where near as tragic as a couple detaching from family and friends because they are not accepted. People die in car crashes everyday and it's not because they were upset that their mom found out they were gay. The crash here was a successful suicide and murder. It wasn't an accident. That fact was never mentioned. As I stated before they could have survived the crash and just disappeared and started a new life far away. Living detached from your son and friend is far more tragic. Anyway, this series ended with everyone being happy even the main characters. Oh yeah one minor point the main characters ARE DEAD! The messages here do not seem to address homophobia in any real essence to me. The messages for gay couples from this series is don't try to have a relationship if your family won't accept you because you'll die in a car crash. Messages to friends of gay guys (Sandee) whom they are secretly in love with the gay friend is: it's ok the tell the homophobic mom that their son is gay in a fit of deceit because he will will forgive after he's dead. That's twisted. It didn't even seem like Sandee had any remorse. Well for 30 seconds maybe, then she went to the other house and Ken instantly forgave her without any hesitation or discussion. Really??? I don't even think the Pope would have forgiven that easy. The mothers acceptance in the last episode was sophomoric at best. Seemed forced and too simplistic. There was an attempt but in my opinion it fell very short. The 1st 5 episodes had me very intrigued. Wow did this one make a wrong turn! I hope the second series is not a BL.
