The best show I've ever watched
I really loved how Gene's character was a writer. I don't think I've ever watched any show or movie where the main character was a writer. The storyline was quite unique and I loved that about it. As someone whose dream is to one day become an author, this show really fueled those creative juices. Writing is one of my biggest passions; I'm actually working on a BL novel currently.
Usually in BLs I see the "top" being portrayed as this really aggressive and selfish guy who can't control himself. But in this one, Nubsib is an extremely lovable and caring person who actually cares about Gene's feelings. Whenever Gene felt uncomfortable, he'd stop himself from going too far. And also he always makes sure Gene is okay, like when he was understanding about Gene hurting after their first time. On the outside, one might assume that Sib is exactly like the other LIs we often see in BLs, but on the inside he's a very wholesome and caring person who wouldn't hurt a fly.
This show got me feeling all of the emotions; I laughed at the funny parts, I cried during the sad scenes, and I got all giggly and euphoric during the cute and romantic scenes.
One thing I found quite hilarious (I still can't get over this) is that in one of the earlier episodes; during one of the photoshoots, they were showing the pictures being used for inspo and one of them **laughs inside** was a picture of WWH Jin XD. And not just any picture, it was the FREAKING CONCEPT PHOTO FOR THEIR ALBUM "LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR!"

I mean I can't really blame them, he's Worldwide Handsome after all. I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out in the comments, but afterwards I couldn't stop cracking up.
Ok anyways, here's a list of some things I loved abt this show:
1. Consent between Gene and Sib
2. How they constantly exposed the entire BL industry
3. They defied a lot of BL stereotypes
4. When Sib kept making sure Gene was ok with them having s3x
5. The perfect balance between wholesome and mature/sensual
6. The incredible chemistry between Kao/Sib and Up/Gene
7. How they made the s3x scene more of "making love" than intense s3x
8. That "Eat Me" shirt which cracks me up even just thinking about it
9. The theme song which slaps so hard that it's managed to stay on my "On Repeat" playlist on Spotify for quite a while now
10. The amazing acting and how there were no cringe scenes throughout the whole show
11. Bua's character who always managed to make me laugh because of how thirsty she was all the time
12. The sound effects which add so much to the comedic side of the show
And here's some things I didn't like:
1. Aeoy (he's an a**hole)
Alright, that's all! Thank you my fellow BL fans for reading my review and I really hope that you'll check this show out, it's definitely worth the watch. (It's on YouTube fyi)
