Typical storyline done brilliantly

If your'e new to Gay Films/BL movies/series then this is a 10/10. (don't read the rest and just watch it)

If you're not new to the viewing scene, then I knocked off a star because the storyline itself is very typical and nothing unique. The storyline is the classic Gay lead is struggling to come to terms with coming out to society so he tries to prove to society (and himself) that he can convince himself to live a "normal" hetero life. We all know how every single movie/series that did this ends and this one is no different.

But I give the remaining full points because this did the typical storyline EXTREMELY well and has sort of a modern twist to it by giving the main female lead a love for BL. The main male lead also has a love for Queen and this series brilliantly has woven Queen's music and lyrics into the storyline and it is very tasteful. Using the idea of honing into what each character loves/obsessed with, gives each character the instant depth that is sometimes hard to achieve in storytelling. The layers of friendship and motherhood that tie into the main lead are also tastefully done!

I am a Gay, Japanese, & American, and I 100% recommend this series to anyone new and old.
