This is yet another overly wholesome series. It has a theme that is kind of wearing thin. It is another storyline around two families that do not get along; yet their sons, while seemingly ‘hating’ each other, are overtly displaying sexual tension between themselves without realizing it. When they were children, the two boys had been close and perhaps the seed of companionship already took hold; however, their families, in this case specifically the fathers, forced them to be ‘enemies’. As they grew, they became competitive and bitter rivalries and were compelled to be separated from one another. What frustrates me the most about these BLs is its glossing over of significant issues in the lives of the young men that are involved. Rather than filling up space with the same ongoing feuds with the fathers, do something constructive. We GOT there was a conflict and we understood that it affected the whole family. Now do SOMETHING about that. Make it real, relatable, and relevant. This story, while cute, is forgettable. It is a cookie-cutter one with a premise we have seen before. I did appreciate that one of the father’s came to his senses sooner than the other. A golden opportunity to have a sweet, genteel love story between the second couple was unfocused and actually not even developed; only teased at the very end. One CAN have a BL with two main love interests; there is no law against it.
