An Awesome Show!

I really enjoyed this show and will watch it again in the future.

I am a huge fan of BL Series, but not so much the high school or college ones where everything is a joke, the annoying characters who want to "ship" couples and run around taking photos for posting online, the evil or jealous girlfriend wannabe, etc. I like the ones like this one, a little more mature, still has funny, sweet, cute moments, but also has a more serious side too.

I also like the sensuality in the intimate scenes, which this series has in abundance. These are the moments when you feel a sense of real-life intimacy, love and intense emotion.

Was the show perfect? No! I haven't watched one yet that didn't have some little thing I could pick on. That's true with most series, bl or otherwise.

I'm reading the comments in these low ratings reviews and all I can think is the people watching this series really do not have an understanding of bl series. First of all, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE REAL LIFE! I sincerely dislike reviews that put down these shows because they are "toxic" or portray things that "just aren't right." BL has always had problematic and toxic tropes, even if it's just guys ganging up on and beating the guy who they don't like!

SPOILER ALERT!

The not so charming scene is one where the younger boy gets his love interest drunk and takes advantage of him - however this was not r*pe! The low ratings and reviews that slam this show because of this scene are not understanding a few things. First, the younger guy made sure the older one knew who he was with - the guy was not so drunk as to not recognize him, he knew who it was and even carried on a short conversation with him. Second, someone so drunk that they do not know what is happening to them would never have responded the way he did. Truth be told he just wasn't willing to face the fact that he wanted him too. And again, not real life!

This show is very cute, sweet, hot, and will keep you interested.
