I'm just gonna say this real quick: this show got me into the BL hole that I shoved myself into.

I don't tend to write reviews, but I think this show both deserves and needs one. Firstly, hats off to whoever casted these actors, especially Oreo. They're all incredibly talented, and the couples all had the right type of chemistry. Oreo, specifically, deserves an award for his role. He successfully pulled off the "girly dude who says some dumb shit out of denial" type, and I am living for it. (He automatically became one of my favorite actors because of Pop).

For the storyline... It gets lost. Like, a lot. It's supposed to be simple, easy to understand, well thought out, but honestly, it just confused me. I feel like it had potential, but everything was just,,, slow, and Pree and Rambo tossed over this entire show. The main couple was supposed to be Oat and Pop, but that ship was underwhelming. The real plotline that's used in most websites doesn't even happen until the last episodes (being Pop's breakup). The rest of it seemed like a compilation of Oat and Pop's daily life, Pop;s girlfriend questioning his sexuality, and Rambo and Pree's long ass compilation of anger, lies, cheating, and tears. I couldn't write out a plot without having read one based on the actual episodes.

Oreo and Strong's chemistry really stood out, though, so I guess that's a plus?

The side couples always annoyed tf out of me though. Mo's relationship with Nick was so underdeveloped (no seriously, they got like 4 minutes of staring at each other and that's basically it). Pree and Rambo's story, let's just say, made me stressed. I hated them because Rambo made things way much harder than it was needed, and Pree acted like a broken stereo ("I don't love you anymore", "let's break up", "I'm tired of your behavior", that kind of thing). Also, even if it's a different scenario, it always starts and ends predictably: "let's get back together." "no." [insert extreme crying scenes here]. Kinda like they ran out of ideas.
