Dark themed series
This is actually a very controversial series because the relationship is between a teacher and his student. However, to put things into perspective, the student is supposedly 20 years old, so we're not dealing with a minor here. Let's make that clear.
But what I really want to talk about with this series is how deep it actually is. If you're going to analyze it, this is a very quick watch since it's only eight episodes and the episodes are quite short. There were things I wanted to dissect and understand further.
You know what I love about this series? It's how misunderstood the characters are. Everyone has their own struggles, and almost all of them are misunderstood by the people around them. What's worse is that sometimes, the people who misunderstand them the most are the ones closest to them.
This is not a BL that everyone will enjoy because, honestly, I didn't really care much about the romantic relationship between the two characters. What I cared about was how messed up their lives were because of how cruel the world could be.
So yeah, this isn't simply about a student falling in love with his teacher. You know how sometimes, when everything becomes too much, even the smallest glimpse of light or kindness can make you want to hold on to it? That's what I felt happened here. And again, this is something that can be interpreted in different ways. Was it really love, or was it simply a reaction to everything they had been through? Was it genuine affection, or did they find comfort in each other because they were both trying to cope with their own struggles? That's one of the things I kept thinking about while watching.
The script has its own magic, too. If you really listen to the dialogues and pay attention to what's being said, almost every conversation leaves you with something to think about. There are lines that might seem simple at first, but when you look deeper into their meaning, they carry so much weight.
So yes, this is definitely not your usual high school BL trope. I'd say that if you're looking for romance, this might not be for you. This is more about the darker realities of human emotions, emotional struggles, and depression.
As for the ending, well, it is what it is.
