Not sure why all the hate.

I thought it was an OK series, nothing special, but not deserving of the outright hate I see on here. It was a bit messy, both in story and execution, it could have used a little bit better writing and/or editing. I do think there was excessive drinking, and the amount of slapping/hitting is over the top for this situation. So if you are sensitive to those, this might not be something you want to watch.

I do think it is worth watching, but it isn't a light and fluffy series if that is what you are looking for. I don't think I would rewatch this, but I rarely rewatch a series, so for me that isn't a good indication of quality. It certainly isn't the worst thing I have watched, but not a top-tier series by any means.

The characters were deeply flawed, and that is the cause of the relationship issues in this story. Fahlan is a playboy who sleeps around and never keeps a boyfriend for more than a night. Sherbet isn't really any different than Fah, but he also has trust issues from how he was raised. The two together form a somewhat toxic relationship. Throw in a bit of jealousy on everyone's part, and the fireworks fly.

The side characters are cute, I wish we could get more of Tap and Ping, who were not sure they were gay for each other, and couldn't express their feelings. I have a feeling they would in real life stick together forever. Prince and Gear are a little better in that they are more open about their feelings for each other. However, Prince is a bit too touchy-feely with Sherbet, he should have toned that down way back when he started dating Gear. So Fah and Gear both think Prince is going too far, maybe that should have been the clue that Prince was Maybe these couples can get their own series, and have Fah and Sher play a more minor role.
