I loved Wu, especially SkyNani but ... The Bromance Failure: A true bromance relies on a deep, platonic, and familial brotherhood. By staging scenes where characters are physically close enough to kiss, or giving them intense, yearning eye contact, the directors completely crossed the line out of "brotherly" territory. It broke the realism of their friendship. The BL Failure: Because it was legally bound to be a bromance, it couldn't provide the narrative payoff. Leaving those near-kisses and intense moments entirely unresolved creates severe narrative frustration. It feels like a story with a massive build-up that simply refuses to deliver its climax. If a show isn't brave enough to commit to the kiss, it shouldn't tease the audience with the setup! I would love to have more SkyNani but with actual BL not teasing me!
