Enough Heart to Probably Ignore The Biggest Issue

Overall it was cute. I liked that it didn't forget that it's main character struggled with self confidence issues and concerns with his image because of years of bullying and that they circled back to that as it's main character growth story. They could easily have forgotten that storyline. I like that Duean and Meen dealt with the issue of forcing someone to do something they didn't want, especially since the writers completely pushed this issue aside with the main couple the whole time.

Duean is dumb as a boulder, but that is part of his comic relief charm, and his story with Meen is innocent and sweet 90% of the time. The relationship between the brothers is also very nice and is often amusing and feels authentic. Duean alternates between being gross and invasive of his brother's privacy and space and being protective and caring of his brother's relationships and feelings. I think anyone with siblings can relate to that.

My main downside is that I didn't like how Pi's dislike of being publicly discussed was completely dismissed by literally everyone. His concern was first that his chances at confessing to the guy he liked were being dashed and then that people were talking about him without his consent and invading his privacy and then that Mork was letting people spread false rumors about them and then that people were talking badly about him. and every time, people would pretty much gaslight his concerns. "oh you actually like it, you're just being proud/shy/stubborn". So I didn't vibe with that. The show offset this with enough cute and enough honest emotion from Mork that I watched the whole show and enjoyed it overall, but this could easily be a make or break issue for a lot of viewers. Because it definitely annoyed me a lot and takes up a LOT of the plot.
