A must watch

One of the few good j-dramas I've watched and luckly is bl! I'm not going to lie, the relationship between the two character might seem toxic but I'm here to say it's not. The story is actually so complex that I feel like the episodes weren't long enough for all emotions to be encapsulated. The trope in itself is not very original, the bad boys/tsundere guy, but this author twisted it in such a way that the story is actually pretty unique. Even though the episodes are short I feel like I spent way more than I should've had because of the emotions it gave me. The first few episodes made me stop from one minute to another to laugh or to save myself from the second-hand embarrassement the characters gave me. I know it sounds weird but it was really enjoyable and fun because it made me actually feel something. But after my second rewatch I really started to observe and realise how intense and beautifully put together everything was. The actors' acting was actually good, they all are pretty good looking but I have to say... Yusei Yagi (Kiyoi Sou) is soooooo good looking, I can't even explain. As for the novel ( the original story) I don't know really know too much because you can't find an english translation. In conclusion, I think this drama is worth watching despite the controversial aspects of it because it's actually more complex than you'd think. Kiyoi is an introverted, insecure teenager who doesn't know how to express his emotions, and not only that but he is gay so this makes everything so much for confusing for him. You can't always have emotionally mature characters, so please try to pay more attention to Kyoi's actions and you'll realise he's not as toxic as you thought. I could rewatch this drama 10 times and still not get bored so I definitely recommend.
