Light-hearted BL comedy that isn't as frivolous as it seems at first

For a series with three BL couples and a couple of female side characters, this series succeeds in not being confusing. The exposition at the start is rather well done, and each of the main characters is quickly recognizable. This may not seem like an impressive feat, but even in 2024, I see BL series that make me confused.

I did also enjoy the humor although it isn't as good in the later episodes. The relationship between Peak and Jane is intriguing, with some hilarious moments, and I'm glad it did not go the direction it could have. (Let's just say that Peak seems like an irresponsible boyfriend to Jane at first.)

The two female characters ironically might be the most interesting characters in the series. Jane is a character who slowly grows on the audience. On the other hand LookPeach is a surprisingly nuanced character and not just some flat fujoshi that is the staple of many Thai BLs. Despite her unassuming demeanor, she can also be an assertive defender of her friends.

There is actually a lot to like about this series. Although some may complain about the sex ed being done without finesse, at least it is not a frivolous series in which the characters are just after sex and that's it.
