I've never found something so hard to sit through. Never. This is the first series that I had to pause every other minute just to let my cringe flow out of me before I can continue watching. Sitting through 8 episodes of this was the hardest thing I had to do as a BL fan.

We've all heard the tales of toxic relationships from this series and they all hold true. Except, when you do watch it, they make it into a joke so you don't mind it as much. I was even surprised at myself for ignoring the red flags even though in my mind, the red alarms are going off.

Story: The story starts out with a bang. Type, the homophobic jerk finds out his roommate is gay. GASP. Craziness ensues. Something unbelievable about this story is how they make the homophobic person seem not that homophobic? Like, if I was homophobic and I find out my roommate is gay, I'd have dipped out that room. Wouldn't even confront the guy. I'd just be gone living in the streets. No but seriously, gone rooming with friends. Why Type thought he should confront the guy and somehow convince him to move out, is unbelievably a dumb way to kick off their relationship. The story itself has NO SUBSTANCE. Where is the story? Homophobic guy gets in a relationship with gay guy and crazy things happen. That's it. When, why, how? The whole 8 episodes was literally just them having cute moments together. Type is still homophobic, Tharn still likes him somehow, and they do nothing except tease/flirt with each other. There are certain parts where they expose their deep secrets to each other (Type exposing his past with the resort worker, Tharn exposing his past about his first times) But I'm like, where did this come from? How did y'all just happen upon this conversation? Were y'all that close to reveal those types of problems? There are SO MANY of these scenes in this series where there is no introduction, they just start talking about it and it's awkward. And then sometimes they talk for a long time, just expository dialogues that drag on and on and on and on. The friends get involved only for comedic relief. Most of the setting takes place INSIDE A ROOM. Seriously. It's like I'm on acid and blacking out in between scenes. And every scene I wake up to see are scenes where they are inside their dorm or apartment. I know this is rated 18+ and they started as sex friends but the emphasis on sex over emotional support, is problematic. The first time they had sex was in EP 4 and I was like, BRUH Tharn, what are you doing? Why did you let your bottom half take over? Type was clearly giving you something without actually thinking about your feelings but you JUST GOBBLE IT UP. Sigh. Then like I was on acid again, I don't understand when they agreed to be sex friends. Did I miss it? Was it in the series? I don't know. Type says they'll only do it once then all of a sudden they are sex friends. Where is the transition?

The story's blatant attempt to normalize problematic problems like sexual assault, manipulative behavior and apathetic toward their relationship development is why this series will never get good scores from people with a BRAIN to think outside "uwu it's gay, me likey". I have so much to say I don't even know where to go from here so I will stop. This will just become a rant if I continue anymore.

I've only spotted a few good things. In EP 1, when Tharn says to No that he won't move out, otherwise it would mean he admits being gay is wrong. YES! YES you got that part right! THANK YOU. Another good thing is the placement of the music. The song has a particular feel to it so when played in the right place, gives the right mood. Type's dad was great as well. He's so chill. He doesn't even play that big a role and I remember him quite well.

Acting/Cast: I don't know enough of the characters to know their cast, so I'll just talk about Gulf and Mew. Gulf is very cute in real life. He has that "i'm here but i'm not actually here" vibe. He looks carefree, goes with the flow, type of guy. What he likes is what he likes and he does what he likes. Type is the exact opposite of him. I like that Gulf was able to become a completely different person on and off screen. However, his acting as Type was slightly stiff? Perhaps it's Type who's stiff and not Gulf but Type was a one dimensional stiff character for me. Mew....I don't know. Mew and Tharn are basically one person? Caring, attentive, and loving toward his friends and family. Tharn is just slightly more devious with his teasing. Mew's acting was subpar, in my opinion? There are good parts but there are also parts where I thought, what exactly was he trying to accomplish by making that facial expression/tone in voice? Why does he look horny 100% of the time he looks at Type?

Music: As mentioned, the music was good.
Rewatch value: I have not finished this series and plan to finish. Even if that means one episode per month, I will finish. Expected rewatch value is 2/10.
Overall: 4/10. Because I haven't finished.

UPDATE: HAHA I guess I won't finish this after all. Idk lost the motivation. Relationship dynamic was not really my thing, story isn't clicking with me, and overall, I'd rather spend my time on BLs that I actually like than spend it on ones I dread finishing. That's all. BYE!
