Surprising
Okay so this is the first time I've ever left a review so I'm sorry in advance if it leaves something to be desired.
I'll start with this, I absolutely adore Kao (the actor playing Sib). I've thought his acting skill was insane since I saw him in Until We Meet Again back when it first came out.
That being said, I definitely had some issues with it and I will list them as follows:
- I was so invested in the main couple's story that honestly I just skipped through most of the other stuff going on (I saw the important stuff, but sometimes this show really drags on). Like we don't need 10 minutes of everyone crying. We get it, they're sad.
- Honestly there's really no reason why Aoey is as terrible as he is. I get that his family is messed up, but so are a lot of people's. That's not an excuse for being a little sh*t. Deal with your trauma for f*cks sake. Okay! Sorry about that I just really hate stupidly underdeveloped characters. Plus his acting left something to be desired, but again this is just my personal opinion.
-This leads me to my next point which is the tragic idiotic hero trope. Honestly they couldn't have come up with another way to be together without making them split up? You came out to your parents, your friends, and you're starring in a BL show for christ's sake!! Just have a press conference and tell your story. People get over stuff. Saying "I'm willing to break up with you for your happiness" is the lamest excuse in the world. If you love each other, you truly can work things out.
now for what I absolutely LOVED about this show:
- I love the casting choices for Sib and Gene (Tum, Tiffy, the brothers, and the parents were all great castings as well)
- I really love that this show put a focus on the pressure felt by everyone involved in the BL industry. The fact that it is heavily saturated by women authors, that when casting they specifically look for (as they called it) a "bottom", and that when people are shipped together in real life it can have positive and negative effects.
-This show didn't hold back in it's portrayal of fan culture. While I'm sure they could've added more, we saw the impact nonetheless. We have all seen the extremely negative effects of fan behavior and bullying when it comes to actors and ships. If they break up, if they're not seen together enough, if they are with anyone other than their shipped partner, they are harassed.
-This leads me to my final point. I loved that this show centered on a very central theme. The truth about the entertainment industry and its strange views on actual gay people in an place saturated in fake gay relationships. The double standards are absurd!!
Anyways, that's my TedTalk.
