ok but why was it good though

I went into this show expecting a cringey BL that requires zero braincells to watch, and don't get me wrong it totally is that, but it's also so much more? The characters and story actually have dimension to the point that I really felt for them by the end. There are emotional scenes that deliver well and even some pretty good twists. The main couple are very easy to root for and have a surprisingly wholesome relationship. What I also loved is that they portray the platonic relationships just as well as the romantic ones, something which is often missing in BLs. The plot, while not perfect, is generally very good and ties the whole show together. There were no real loose ends or major plot holes and there were also no unnecessary characters, everyone had a reason for being there. The ending was satisfying as well.

I watched this show at the same time as KinnPorsche, expecting that to be my investment show and this to be my light-hearted joke watch and in the end I was invested in this show and hated KinnPorsche (I have a review there too). Just goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover.

The cons:
- The tonal shifts between the dark and light-hearted scenes were a bit sudden and the music was similarly distracting at times.
- The special effects are not the best but not so bad that they take away from the show.
- The secondary couple was very uninteresting and unnecessary and I skipped most of their scenes.
- Why were there zero female characters? I get it's a BL but come on, not even one?

Overall, if you want a show that you can laugh at, cringe at but also get unexpectedly invested in, I highly recommend watching PitBabe. It was a lot of fun.
