What I Liked
- best start of series
- different personalities
- visuals
- intimacy
Room for Improvement
- one character treated the other character like an object to possess instead of a person with his own thoughts/desires
- he yelled at the friends and snitched to the dad when he did the same thing
- the dad beat him so badly he had bandages and everyone was chill about it???
- love rival
- episode 9 drama was unnecessary
- how the ended episode 10, it seems just the last scene was a dream but it was not well explained
