Why is this popular?

When I first started watching this bl I loved it. That was before I noticed the flaws and problems this drama has. I get that people like this shoe because of the actors and their chemistry, but that isn't an excuse for the fact that this drama has a lot problems.

1. TYPE'S BEHAVIOR
I saw people defending Type's behavior because of his trauma and because he has "anger issues." While, I agree that Type's traumatic experience should not overlooked or ignored, but I don't think it can excuse the fact that he hit, punched, slapped, and kicked Tharn, many times. He didn't even apologize to after. Something I saw people overlooking was that way Type treated the girls he "dated." Many people ignored the fact that she deserved an explanation as to why he led her on.

2. ROMANTICIZING SEXUAL ASSAULT
In the first few episodes, this is shown. Tharn kisses Type while he is asleep. He even went as far to leave hickeys, while Type was drunk. At this time they were not friends and Type definitely didn't like Tharn. Tharn also initiates kisses and sex despite Type telling him to get off and let him go. Type didn't give consent to any of this. This borderline sexual assault/ molestation. They didn't even address the problem in any of following episodes, like it's a normal thing to do, which it is not.

3. HORRIBLE ANTAGONIST
I saw may fans loved the antagonist, Lhong. I definitely agree that the actor is not bad, but his character is. I don't understand why the show wants to feel sorry for him. Maybe they forgot that he singlehandedly ruined his best friend's relationships. Did they forget that he paid men to RAPE a boy? He also used the tape of the rape and used it as blackmail. They probably forgot that he tried to MURDER Type. Hopefully next time they don't forgot. His actions are not justifiable , just because he was a victim of unrequited love.

There's more problems, but I'm not even going to get into those.
