Rant warning. I realize that I'm in the minority here, since the show has really positive reactions. If you enjoy the show, good for you. But I just need to vent a little.
To me, this BL is so lazy and uninspired, it makes me a little angry. The setting makes no sense at all. We are told that Cher is a streamer and ASMR vlogger, and you would think that ASMR would somehow be an important element of the story. It is after all the one reason why the CEO is obsessed with Cher. But I wonder if the writers even know what ASMR is (hint: it's not "talking to someone over the phone"). Nothing we are told about the characters interests is actually shown on screen. Instead of using the predefined elements (e-sports, game development, ASMR vlogging), they add completely unrelated stuff that could happen in any office romance (or school romance). Why even use this setting if it has no impact on the story? Why write about a setting you have absolutely no clue about and can't present properly? This stuff just drives me nuts...
It's as if they used a "plot generator" to create a unique-sounding synopsis, and then simply performed all the usual tropes on their "BL checklist" regardless of the defined setup.
I'm just curious. If the "world" will end by the moon crashing into it, WHAT THE HELL GOOD WOULD IT BE TO BE IN…
Technically, the moon wouldn't crash into Earth due to gravitational forces (the Roche limit). Instead, the moon would disintegrate and turn into orbital debris, much like the rings of Saturn. :)
