This series is so much more than that.
I didn't start watching it right from the day it started airing. Heck, I knew nothing about it and even ignored my mutual's tweets when they were talking about this series + all those edits being churned out on the tl. I was pretty slow in realizing the craze and the masterpiece that this show is. I started it when episode 8 had aired already. After seeing countless people praising it and having nothing new to watch, I HAD TO. So I turned on the first episode and..... BOY, WAS I MINDBLOWN
I went into it with the mindset of how I start other bl series, but it turned out to give me SO MUCH MORE than just that. Also, must mention here that I am pretty new to the world of bls, so offgun weren't a pairing familiar to me. I didn't know anything about them so gun's acting had me by the neck. I WAS SO IMPRESSED?? I was HOOKED and still am. Both of these people, gun and off, are phenomenal actors, especially in this series. The amount of effort everyone has put into this shows in the quality of the content we see.
I was also informed that the budget wasn't exactly the best and the promotion was even worse. Even after all the obstacles, this series turned out to be GORGEOUS. I can't wait to rewatch this in one sitting just to feel something. But nothing would compare to how I watched the last six episodes realtime with so many people who were equally mindblown by the concept and the story. I don't even have to talk much about the story because we all know how powerful the messages were. I am incredibly impressed by all the people involved in this, from the music team to the actors to the director to even the extras who played small roles. That guy leading the protest was POWERFUL, those protestors waving the pride flag were POWERFUL and impactful. I am glad to have come across and watched a series like this. I am grateful that offgun were the ones playing these roles because they did justice to their characters.
Rooting for a season 2 or a movie cause the loose ends weren't tied. When it comes to characters, although seanwhite were my fav in the beginning, Black turned out to be the most intriguing one. I really want more of him. Gun is impeccable in this role. Seriously, I am obsessed with offgun now and will probably check out more of them cause boy do I have a feast waiting for me with all that 6 years of content to catch up on.
(Have the biggest crush on Black though THAT'S MY HONEY IM GLAD HE'S ALIVE)
