I think this is the funniest BL series I have watched up to date! The dramatics played into the comedic aspect a lot as well, and it was enjoyable to watch. I do admit it felt a bit too much at times, but at the same time, I didn’t really mind it. The plot is your basic love triangle (maybe love square), ugly duckling, university story. There are no major surprises about that, but I am someone who does not mind a well-done cliché. Even if I have seen the same plot about a thousand times before.

I really loved the Kitty Gang. They were absolutely amazing! The way they adopted Pi into their group, no questions asked. They were incredibly supportive of each other, mandatory teasing and playful competitiveness included, and how non-judgmental they were. Also, yay for James (Satang) having his nails painted black. Might be just me, but I find nail polish on men (black or not) extremely attractive. And I don’t think I have seen this in other series. I would know if I did, it’s one of the first things I notice about a person.

I think one the best characters was Mueang Nan. I love it when characters (and people) don’t give others false hope. You don’t have to sugarcoat things and leave the other one hoping for a chance. If you know you do not like someone, you are not being rude by saying so – politely and respectfully. Which is what he did.

Duean & Meen: dare I say I liked this side couple more than the actual couple? I really liked how their story was added in almost as a separate series with a special narrator and making the screen smaller when it was about them. I like how their relationship developed, especially with Duean being 4-5 years older and referring to Meen as a kid when things got a bit wild. When you love someone, you want to change yourself and not them. I feel like truer words couldn’t be spoken for this pair, especially for Duean.

Mork & Pi: I can really understand Pi and his reluctance to be in a public relationship with Mork. He is used to never being good enough, never being fully accepted for who he is. He expresses this fear of not being good enough, of not being strong enough to deal with the public in the series as well. I must admit that Mork is a character I do not like very much. He never really stood up for Pi, and no matter how much he was saying he understands Pi and his emotions, he was constantly putting pressure on him. And I feel like whenever Pi expressed his worries, he was never taken seriously by Mork, which did not sit well with me. Also, Mork was extremely pushy when it came to him wanting a relationship with Pi. And while this is an extremely popular trope in stories, it is kind of obsessive and stalker-like behavior that should not be encouraged.

This whole MorkPi situation brings me to something I am both happy and mad about – the shipping in the series. I think it is incredibly important that we saw how shipping can affect someone, how unsafe it can make them feel. I was really impressed with Pi being assertive enough to be able to say that out loud. However, I was less than impressed with how the situation was handled going forward. The shipping didn’t stop, it just kind of spread to different pairings with the shippers not learning a single thing about it. Even if one of them showed understanding towards Pi’s concerns, the understanding didn’t seem to last long. Even worse was the fact that Mork completely ignored Pi’s uneasiness on the topic.
