Great Chemistry with Not So Great Pacing

Before I dive into the drama, this review is just a personal opinion of mine so before anyone wants to comment such things, yeah I'm not gonna entertain so run along.

When I watch BLs, I mostly watch them for entertainment. I usually watch them after seeing a drama with a really heavy and complex plot so BLs are lighter-hearted and for me to laugh on and fangirl, a bit. It can be a simple, overused, cliche plot but doesn't matter to me as what I pay attention more is on the couples. But this BL, I'm not even sure what the plot is about. It's all over the place. I guess the clown background music playing at the beginning at the first episode already warn me that the BL is gonna be weird in terms of the pacing and editing. I won't dive into those because it's not my biggest concern. Here where lies my biggest problem with the plot.

Way too many couples are introduced in the show and there is an imbalance on all 4 of them. I only paid attention to Fightor and Saizon's story and the other 2 couples, yeah they don't exist. I sound mean but it's the truth. They appeared and disappeared faster than a jet. I'm gonna be honest, I completely forgotten about them until I read the reviews after finishing the show. Not even their names. Sue me. They are not even shown at the last episode during the beach scene. If people fast forward some scenes in the show, they wouldn't have known that the other 2 couples exist in the first place until I tell them. I prefer when BLs only have one or two couple in the show, preferably one for me so that they can slowly develop and let the relationship slowly falls in place. I mean, BL is a short series so why introduce so many at once?

Now, let's move on with the 2 main couples. I'll start with Tutor and Fightor's story. Their story is like reading a BL webtoon. Cliche and cute but hot and sexy at the same time. They have amazing chemistry and Zee's acting impress me a lot. I enjoy seeing the both of them together and with them wearing the animal outfits. They are so cute together. At the same time, I also enjoy seeing them eating their faces out and finally! They did it with CONSENT. BL writers, please follow this! And just to spice it up their story, add in a some melodrama scene and a bit of angst and you're done! So simple. What more could I ever ask for?

Next, Saifah and Zon. Their story crack me up especially Zon thought their love story is based on his sister's BL novel. I even have to rewind and think, wait is this true? Hahaha. However, I wasn't not sucked into their story until halfway due to their lack of screen time. The other two side couples could have been used more on them. That's why I think it's a bit rushed in my opinion. Nonetheless, they make a very cute couple and their moments are hilarious. Pity the fans who are more into them and wish they have more screen time. I will watch their special episodes for sure.

I didn't care for the other stories like Hwahwa, did she even have one? I'm not sure. She is still a great character and thank god she isn't the same stereotypical jealous girl that BLs love to portray. It's ridicuously annoying and it needs to put at stop in BLs.

The show overall? I enjoyed it. It was light and refreshing. It's something you can watch after those heavy plot shows and you just need something to cleanse your palate and a plot for you to laugh on if you're a BL fan. Watch it with your crazy group of friends, grab your pillow and popcorn and squeal all the way. Have fun with this show.
