Plot focused on the wrong things
This show was good but definitely has its flaws. The best part of the story was the relationship between Kelvin and Veir. I think that storyline from the trailer, along with FortPeat, is the reason we all tuned into this. The relationship between Nana and Lalin was decent. The storyline with all the company stuff I think is where the show had its weakest moments.
Kelvin and Veir:
They are the strongest and best part of the show like I mentioned before. I loved seeing how their relationship changed. I loved seeing Kelvin lose it and kidnap Veir and just be crazy. It did eventually into a real relationship which was nice as well. Now I did think we were going to get more of Kelvin being crazy and more of Veir being locked up by him. Just based on the trailer, it felt like that would be more of the focus of the show and it wasn't at all. Even just their relationship as a whole seemed to be put on the backburner in the later episodes to focus on other plots that were just not as good. You can tell they loved each other in the end and I'm glad Kelvin went and got help during the six-month time skip. Do I think they should be together? No. I think Veir deserves someone a little more mentally stable, but it's fine. Peat and Fort killed these roles as always and have such incredible chemistry with each other!!
Nana and Lalin:
I'm always happy to see girls as the second couple in a BL, but they always seem to flop a little bit with their storyline, and I felt this one was no different. They just simply didn't get enough screentime for me to care a lot about them. I liked the girls and liked them together, don't get me wrong, but they didn't get enough time that was just the two of them. I think if they had more time I would've cared a lot more.
The company and family drama:
This plot just took up way too much of the show. It was pretty boring and so drawn out. The characters like the dad, the brother, the friends, etc. from all of this were so two dimensional and so unlikable. I didn't like a single one. I didn't really care about this plot line to begin with and in the last few episodes it was the main focus, and I just found myself so bored and annoyed. The wrap up of it all was also just so unsatisfying too. We didn't even get to see Ken get caught. We were just told about it which is such lazy writing. If they weren't going to show us, they should've just had him get caught in the warehouse.
Overall, I think this show wasn't as good as we all hoped and I think it's mainly because the trailer and promotions were so misleading. I think they should've main Kelvin's toxicity with Veir a way heavier focus on the show and it would've been way better and more widely liked.
