It’s okay positives and negatives
I watched this series after it finished airing based on it being highly recommended on TikTok. I was expecting it to be better than it was. My first mistake was not realizing it wasn’t a NC17. It had all the elements of a great show but still somehow missed the mark. I think the failure is in the script and editing.
Negatives:
The editing is sloppy, especially with music. The music often jumps in unexpectedly and cuts off abruptly. It’s jarring enough to take you out of the scene.
In the second half of the show, there are scenes that seem to run on and on to the point where you lose interest. A 10 minute scene that could easily have been 5. I found myself skipping ahead. I almost didn’t finish it.
There are so many scenes where the couple is sitting, side by side, and talking for extended periods of time with nothing else of interest going on. It makes for many boring scenes where the dialog is nice but unbearable to watch. I was bored out of my skull.
Pros
This shows a different path to love than most BLs where it’s meet, struggle, find love, sex. It shows a different dynamic that exists in gay relationships.
The plot is interesting enough.
Nice balance of screen time between the two couples and both couples had good on screen chemistry.
