Embarrassing to Say the Least

Plot Summary:
North some how falls into a coma (we think he is dead) after getting into a fight with his mom and jumping in a pool which we later see he is tall enough to stand on. After falling into a coma, he becomes a ghost that only Ongash can see. The two start to develop feelings for one another. We find out that North's mom is the principal of their school and she does not want the volleyball team anymore because there are trans individuals on the team. We have a bunch of gay side characters whose stories are irrelevant to the story. We find out North wakes up from his coma with amnesia and has to figure out how to stop his mother who is hellbent on getting rid of the gays and trans folks from her school because North's father left her for a man, and she doesn't want her son to become like his dad...In the end, she has a change of heart when she loses both of her sons because of her behavior, and then we get 2 happy ending episodes where everyone apologizes for acting stupid, and all is forgiven...

Review:
I have mixed feelings about the acting. I think it's admirable to hire and employ actors that might actually be trans and gay. Too many times in BL dramas, the actors are completely straight, and so they don't really give off the vibe that they actually might be gay. So I liked that I felt that. However, please invest in acting classes for them. I don't know who taught them to nod while other people are talking. Although we might do that in real life, I'm pretty sure we don't incessantly nod while others talk, it becomes distracting. Probably the two actors with most potential: Ongash and North and their story isn't even hashed out.

Whoever edited this show did a horrible job. Sometimes you can tell the voices were re-recorded post production but the video shows the character's mouth moving and saying other things.

I wish they would give more of these actors acting glasses because some of them did seem like they could identify as LGBTQ+ and I would love to have more representation in media.
