I like this show and that is weird for me. It is refreshingly cute??? The character with an annoying personality is likeable¿¿¿¿ I'm baffled because there's so much I would normally dislike that I just enjoy in this series. There's the whiny character I mentioned earlier, usually it can make me drop a series if it goes too far but I like the kid, his sense of humor, and whatever bs he's doing at any given time. The characters have some depth but it's not gonna be anywhere near an ocean. There are interesting forays into topics I don't see discussed much in BL (like gender and parental neglect).

The plot is....confusing? Like I'm about to be I'm episode three and I'm still not sure what the plot....is? But that's actually pretty normal for me for slice of life shows/movies, so this must be that. Even though it kinda just feels like watching these people's daily lives, I'm entertained. The characters mesh so well its surprising. It's also surprising that this review is so positive, I thought I was just feeling neutral but it really is fun so far. (I do watch nearly everything on 2x speed, so be aware of that. I've been on 1.5x for this show.) Every time the episode ended on freeze frame I would crack up because nothings happening and there's no cliffhanger, it's just friends hanging out and growing up and such, but it's suddenly like *shing* freeze frame *shing*.

Idk this show feels good. I really like it. I'm almost on ep. 6 now and they're really just living. It's really refreshing to get to see how characters mesh together instead of having to assume a lot because there's a lot of romance the writers are trying to get to. I like everyone so far. That has not happened to me in a show I've watched....ever. Like right out the gate, all the characters are fun and good and likeable??? Wild. You get to see the characters relationship from their interactions and the dialogue instead of from exposition or flashbacks. The dialogue is well-written. I've laughed at some of their antics and jokes which is also rare.

Yall I'm almost done and I'm so pleased, gosh. This is so refreshing. It covers some difficult topics but everyone is so normal. They respond like people, not actors, and they talk instead of...idk staging some huge unnecessary plan for something some words could solve. There was even a love triangle that was handled so well?????? I feel scolded just watching it because I kept predicting something messy would happen but everyone continued acting like adults. I've been watching on 1.25x for the last two episodes and I'm not bored??? It's absolutely mad.

I can easily see how some wouldn't like this one, but I'm not fond of messiness (even if it can be entertaining) so it's really nice to see something that just feels good to watch. I keep saying, "ah I really like this one!" out of no where and smiling because the characters are so sweet. Watch this, yeah? It's a good time.

(at this point, ive begun to assume that if mdl rates something as bad, it'll be good/great and vice versa (except PitBabe))
