This was BL light
BL takes up a large part of the story, but it's not the focus.
This series is mainly about an orphanage and the family running it trying to save it after they run out of money to pay off their debt. It also focuses on the health troubles that can occur as you get older, the struggles of daily life, and how AI is abused both in good and bad ways.
This series also did a good job of showing how well BL sells.
* Kong's acting has gotten better since Dinosaur Love, but there was only room for improvement.
* Watched at X2 speed because the show felt like it was dragging a lot. I'm honestly not sure if I would have finished it if I hadn't watched it sped up.
* AI is used too much. It wasn't needed in 100% of the scenes it was in. The money AI scam? Not only do you never give money to anyone who calls you, but if it's the hospital (correct me if I'm wrong), in an emergency they don't ask for payment first. I get that grandpa, mom, and dad were in a panic, but even if the call didn't register as spam, that doesn't mean it isn't.
* I never needed to hear a grandpa reading yaoi/BL to me. The long hair on the grandpa's face is also very distracting and annoying. I couldn't stop looking at it.
* Save is a really great guy; the only bad thing he actually does is start a relationship with Guy for the wrong reasons.
* Guy's character was kind of one-dimensional. I understand that the relationship was never the main focus of the story, but you still expect to want to root for the only romantic relationship you are getting. I mean, I'm glad they got together because I love BL, but at the same time they could have changed the plot to Guy being asked to help by pretending to be a couple, and they slowly fall for each other. That would have been more interesting than Save being an ass during this one moment, which felt out of character, and then realizing his feelings while trying to make up with Guy.
* All the kids are really good, behavior- and acting-wise.
* Weirdly enough, this series made me want to write at a couple of points.
* Is Grandpa's novel about him and his friend?
Overall, the series was fine, but sometimes it felt like too many bad things were happening at once, like the writers were just trying to keep the plot interesting only for their luck to pull a 180 at the end and everything falls into place. It also felt very unbelievable that anyone would let themselves get this far into debt. Hell, would the bank even let them get that far before just taking the property? That amount of debt is insane.
