Superficial to its core and relying on throwing uninformed seemingly cool shade on BL industry

This series is such a mess. It's superficial to its core and relying on throwing uninformed seemingly cool shade on BL industry under the guise of being woke, catering to a particular audience that is suffering under the illusion that they have some sort of moral high ground and love to bash BL writers while having absolutely no problem consuming their stories and toxicly shipping actors in real life, not giving a damn how negatively it affects their private lives.

The writing of the series fails at the most important thing - giving screentime to the development of its characters. It's normal that the first episodes sometimes drawn themselves in way too much exposition but they usually establish certain emotional depth and motivation to one of its leading characters at the very least, but episode 1 LW didn't show any of that. Its main characters are flat and one-dimensional caricatures of real people.

The editing is a mess, the acting is mediocre at best, the music and sound effects are awful. The only decent thing about the show is the camera and I would say the directing but considering that in these independent productions its the writer and director who are in charge of editing as well I have to say even the director is a failure.
