Young men who are not yet fully out and those that are, who love them, will identify with the challenges faced by the main characters Meng and Todd in this series, whose passionate love for each other surfaces and resurfaces through high school, college, and beyond. Toni (Meng) and Tao (Todd) give outstanding performances in this series and really make you emotionally invested in their relationship, its challenges, each character’s personal struggles and needs, and the many uncertainties that these two young men face, together and apart. You will be moved by the psychological tension between these two characters, the underlying sexual tension, and changes both characters undergo as they refine their understandings of each other, themselves, and the significance of their relationship and love for each other. Bebe (Nuch) also gives an outstanding performance in her role as Meng’s first girlfriend turned wife, especially in the final episode when she speeds home by cab to confront her husband.
