A simple love story connected to the reality

I have never written a review but seeing how different opinions are about this series I decided to write my own review for the first time.

Let's start with the plot. Many watchers haven't realised what the actual plot is, when in reality this is because the plot isn't as complicating as other series. It's just a love stroy between the two main couples and the hardships they go through in order to stay together. It's not that deep or complicating and since we're not used to such simple plots, it often appears boring or weird. But the reality is actually far from it. It's easy to see that the couples connect from the beginning of the series somehow, each with their own story. But the content of each couple and each character individually is different. Problems that the LGBTQ+ community is facing everyday are addressed such as homophobia, internalised denial to the character's sexuality, fear of how the others may judge a gay relationship.

Another thing that surprised me positively was the fact that the characters would ask their significant other for consent before proceeding to any sexual activity. We see equally consentual sexual intercourse which personally made me really comfortable and safe with the relationships shown.

Now when it comes to acting. We see various characters, main couples and side couples. Not everyone's acting performance was amazing, thats for sure. But since most of those actors aren't as experienced as others, we can see that they're trying their best they can resulting in a pretty nice and "natural" outcome.

I think it's a pretty nice and decent series. It doesn't involve any toxicity (aside from a scene or two) and it addresses matters that gay couples face in real life. I could say that it keeps in touch with the reality we're facing and that's why i believe that it's a series that especially an lgbtq+ person can relate to and find comforting.

Since it didn't have much plot twists or complicity, i don't think there's really any reason to rewatch this series aside from someone who wants to rewatch something that doesn't require much attention.

In general, I don't think i had anything i disliked, maybe the fact that Zon's sister's bl fan fiction was mentioned a lot. It wasn't the best show I've watched, but it was nice and interesting to an extent.
