I loved how natural the dialogue was. They were cute angsty boys that really gave a young adult feel, classic college kids. This felt very queer because it touched on so many aspects of queer life. Gay bars, a flamboyantly gay character, conversion therapy, like the kinds of things that don't really get explored in BL dramas in meaningful ways.

The characters are flawed, which makes them feel more human. But what bothered me was the biphobia. Sure, some people might use the term bisexual before they're ready to come out as gay. I'm sure it's happened before. But what gave Judah the right to assume that was the case for Rocky? I hated how much he kept pressuring Rocky to come out, and how he kept trying to convince Rocky to do it "for his mom" when really Judah just wanted Rocky to come out for himself. Judah constantly pressured Rocky into situations he wasn't comfortable with.

It was a happy ending, and it felt realistic, but when I finished I felt kind of frustrated. Judah's actions really rubbed me the wrong way.
