It's not that interesting. There's a good plot somewhere in this story but it suffers from being such a short story. The relationship between the two leads start to develop and then goes into overdrive drama before suddenly resolving without anyone really doing anything to make the shift happen other than someone changing their mind just because. Also, the best friend is a terrible human being and I'm really not here for drama normalizing such terrible behavior. This series just needed more time to actually develop for it to be any good.

Exhausting main, delightful support

There seems to be a large category of BL dramas where the main couple are very boring and the best part of the show are the side couples and support characters. This is absolutely one of those. The actors all do a great job; I do not care for Nuea and Toh's story. Toh is so irritating and unwell that is makes the whole thing boring. I would LOVE a nonsense, low stakes, lots of cutesy scenes for most BL dramas that I've seen, but I skipped over huge chunks of this because I don't care about the main story I should be focused on.

Sky and Pao are where it's at. While the whole show is a wild exaggeration (affection) this courtship felt a little more real to me. A better message about body image and accepting love.

I liked when Nuea's cool friends would hang out with Toh's outcast friends. It was just fun people being nice and learning about each other.

Daisy and Som spin off series, please. Give Daisy a lead role and Som a proper romance story. Let the girls have fun too!
