It seems like it will be more a serious story about sexuality than a BL in the usual sense.p43425:

Yes, pretty interesting, but I'm not sure where it's headed yet.
I believe that's what draws me to it. I usually lean towards the more serious JBLs. They excel at weaving narratives that evoke strong emotions in the audience. I'm particularly intrigued by the theme of this series, as it navigates the complexities of sexuality while also touching on the moral dilemmas surrounding infidelity. Although I don't see infidelity as a major issue in this story, given the backgrounds of the four main characters over the past three episodes, I recognize that viewers may have varying levels of comfort with the subject matter and its direction. This topic often sparks mixed reactions on MDL, eliciting both positive and negative opinions. I find the blend of perspectives fascinating, and I appreciate that the storytelling has been handled with care, avoiding a chaotic approach. That's the impression I'm getting from the episodes that have aired so far. With only seven episodes released, we're nearly at the halfway mark, so it'll be interesting to see how things unfold. There's still a chance it could veer off course, but I'm optimistic that won't happen. I also enjoy the two male leads.

I liked it. A lot. Going on my BL Favorites list as well as my All Tens list.
Aaaaand my new crush is... Motojima Junsei (Jin)!! Of course he's going on my Fav Japanese actor list AND I sent him flowers. He's that special, lol.
I hope to see him again in more dramas.
Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed it, it’s a great show ;;
I've also decided to start on "FC Soldout" (iQiyi but only in certain countries, so I'll use VPN to London)
OK, I watched the first two episodes - and so far, I really like it, much more than I was expecting. The story concept is original and amusing. (Hint: It helps to have seen "His Man", or a similar reality series such as "The Boyfriend".)
I've not watched "Cityboy Log". For anyone who's watched both: Is there any relationship in terms of characters and story, or is it just the same cast?

FC Soldout - Looking at the MDL page it doesn't seem like a reality series, but His Man & The Boyfriend are....so I guess one has to see it to know? It looks funny after reading the summary. Added to my PTW list.
Btw, His Man wasn't bad & The Boyfriend was really good.

I watched a couple of random YT vids, but that's all. It was a while ago and I didn't have any context at the time. I thought I would watch from the beginning, but haven't gotten around to it. Comparing the two MDL pages, I'm thinking FC Soldout is an actual drama series (they use different names) and Cityboy Log is an ongoing reality show. But that's just my guess.
