Definitely my favorite BL series

As someone who loves High school romcoms I think this show pulled it off perfectly. The cast was amazing and every actor added to the show. Light On Me is one of the first series I’ve seen that has been able to pull off a realistic love triangle and I loved it. I got very emotionally invested in the storyline and the feelings of the characters and cried multiple times. I think the music definitely added a lot to the story and went really well with it too.

Besides just loving the show in general, I think it definitely deserves a 10 because of how it shows homophobia. In my opinion BL series have a tendency to avoid addressing homophobic issues. Asides from the stereotypical homophobic dad or maybe a homophobic side character the issue is rarely addressed. Light on Me *mild spoilers* shows homophobia in different ways through the show. Shinwoo getting bullied, the negative rumor about Daon being gay, and of course Daon’s own internalized homophobia or discomfort with himself for the first part of the show. I really appreciate how the writers didn’t just gloss over this aspect because it definitely added a lot to the show.

Anyways, if you haven’t yet I definitely recommend watching Light On Me
