This genre of BLs for me is getting weary and tiresome. Frankly, I am sick of watching ‘shocking’ stories that in essence are not shocking at all. In fact, the thing I found ‘shocking was the fact that HE did not know. Of course, if you did not yet watch the series, you have no idea what I am talking about. For those that did, I thought HE knew from the very beginning. I get weary of dichotomy pairings where you have one smart person and the other pretending to be ignorant, naïve, dense, timid, wishy-washy, and demur to the other. Almost acting like a punching bag but all along falling in love with him. Again, the victim falling for the abuser. The same classic storyline with the same outcome. Eventually. Someone will get drunk and regret it and make sexual overtures. Then the next time, it is more candid and the two, who have always acted like they have never had a sexual relationship or encounter, then romp around like they are professional porn stars. Then get up, go to work and act like nothing happened. Both falling madly in love and yet pretending not to and acting all innocent. Meanwhile displaying eroticism at work when no one is around. We have seen this scenario before. This is a story where they tried to make a BL out of a detective story that just did not work. The premise was interesting; if they had done something to make it creative. They did not. They took an angry young man resentful towards the son of the murderer and tried to make him feel guilty for what his father supposedly did. Meanwhile the son of the murdered man, bumbling his way through life emotionally yet always trying to live down how his father had died by being superior to everyone else.
