Realistic

TBH, BL series had been quite popular during this year and a lot of countries had joined in producing their own stories but one thing I noticed in those are the unrealistic portrayal of LGBT members. Do not get me wrong, I like fluff and cute story lines but some of them just get a little bit repetitive and just fetishizations.

GSP is a whole new storyline which is relatable and very realistic specially for LGBTQ+ members. It portrays what people actually goes through and the painful reality of being in the closet. The characters are well thought out and I know that some of you might hate some characters in the series but that is what makes it realistic. In terms of real life situations, we have those kinds of people that would pressure you into coming out which is not a great experience. There would come your family that wants you to follow their desires and not care of what you really want. Then there's these great friends who you rely on when you feel the lowest.

The story introduces us into a story line that probably most of the LGBTQ+ members can relate to and describe realistic problems and portrays the difficulty of coming into terms with yourself and accepting who you are. This tells you that it is okay if you're not ready to let the world know who you are because you are afraid of judgement but it should not let us stop our living the best moments of our lives.

About the acting, Vlad really plays the character well and it looks so natural. For other characters, the acting skills could do some improvement.

I love the OST of this series a lot.

OVERALL, I recommend watching it and it is probably one of the best portrayal of LGBTQ+ society in real life and what we actually go through. One of the outstanding BL series this year and it levels along ITSAY. Not regret watching it.
