Every BL deserves a chance, just not this one...

The headline seems harsh, but once you read this review you will understand what I am talking about.

Characters
This BL was obviously meant to be cute and fluffy, which is the case. But the main character just came off as creepy, stalkerish, and just weird. Nobody wants a main character like that, unless it's a psychological or horror series, maybe. Of course nothing is wrong with having a main character like that, it can be interesting if its written right, but in BL like this it's just weird sorry. And the main character, (Including his friend group.) was extremely cringy. I think they were supposed to be comedic? But instead they were just annoying. I think the only character in this whole BL that wasn't annoying was Kaojao, he was a stereotypical bottom character, but he was more bearable than any of the others. I just felt second-hand embarrassment for all of them.

Acting
I am not hating or saying these people are bad actors, but in this series specifically the acting was terrible, like so bad. Their emotions looked so fake and there was zero chemistry between the couples. I had no compassion or any emotional attachment to any of these characters.

Design
Terrible, the school uniforms were a light blue color, and extremely ugly. I am completely okay with unique school uniforms for any show, but these just looked bad, and I just didn't like the material, but of course that is biased of me, and do prefer just traditional school uniforms.

Appearance
The effects were okay? But I didn't really like how it was so bloomy and light. It looked unrealistic, and it hurt my eyes a bit. I wish the lighting was more natural and tinted if you know what I mean.

Music
Can't really say much on this, because how biased it is, but in my opinion the music was bad.

Story
The story was boring and overused. Cute unpopular boy has a secret crush and obsession on an older popular classmate. I've seen it so many times, and each time it was terrible and badly written. It is like the people that wrote this didn't even try to make something good! It was like they put this whole story together in a day, and reused other things from other BL's. Not to mention the romance was horrible, and so was the ending. The ending was so boring, 14 whole episodes and that is what you came up with? It was so unrealistic as well.

STOP MAKING BL'S THAT SUCK!! People can make great stories with straight couples, they should be able to do this with gay couples too.

Anyways you came to the end of my rant, it is totally okay if you don't agree with me, no hate to the actors or anyone involved, just criticism.

Here are some recommendations from a very picky person like me, GOOD BL's.

1. A tale of a thousand stars
2. Not me
3. I told sunset about you/ I promised you the moon
4. The eighth sense
5. Theory of love
6. Gameboys

Thanks :)

This is by far the best BL I have ever watched.

The story is unique and interesting. I watched each episode fully, without having to skip parts because the episode was boring, or nothing was happening, like many BL's I've watched. The story wasn't confusing and it was easy to understand, there weren't a lot of couples to remember.

One big part of it is that usually, I either like the main couple more or I like the side couples more. But I enjoyed each couple, and couldn't wait to see more of each of them. Likeable side characters are really hard to pull off in any series, but this one did it.

The main couple had a lot of chemistry, speaking they had already been a couple in a separate series. And when watching them interact I never felt uncomfortable or awkward for the characters. The acting was amazing, and it didn't make me look away or cringe.

The characters weren't annoying or cringy, or stereotypical. Almost every single BL i've watched had a cringy feminine bottom, and more masculine top, but it wasn't like that at all. It was a gay couple, and represented two men, both liking masculine things, not like a straight couple, (Masculine, feminine.)

There was no rapey character, or any sexual assault, all sexual and romantic interactions were consensual. (Which is hella rare to find in any BL.) Also the romance wasn't repetitive, or overdone.

I also liked how they represented the deaf/disabled, and how differently they are treated in work settings, you hardly ever see that.

I thought that the twin connection between black and white was cool, I also haven't seen that in a BL.

Also totally biased here but bikers guys are super hot so that was nice-
