A Nice Drama with a Very Supportive Group of Friends!!
Everyone needs to have friends like Serizawa's friends!!!
Everyone in the friend group, from the boys to the girls, are very open minded and friendly. No one has prejudice towards anything. They are all supportive of Serizawa and Suzuki regardless of their love for BL or how stupid their actions are. The group creates a safe space for everyone that watching their interactions makes you comfortable and feel good watching. So, while Serizawa and Suzuki's romance is cute, personally, I think Serizawa's friends really are the heart of the drama.
•❅✧❅✦ Story ✦❅✧❅•
Serizawa and Suzuki's romance is adorable. Serizawa is the puppy seme male lead, while Suzuki is the loner and dense uke. From the start it's quite obvious that Suzuki isn't a loner or awkward because he wants to be. He is a the awkard and loner outcast because the friends he made the previous year have traumatized him for his love of BL and he is still navigating through the shock and trauma. And Serizawa, who is clearly outgoing and filled with positive energy, is the light in Suzuki's world from way before they become friends. Even as Serizawa and Suzuki become friends, it's quite clear that Serizawa has a thing for Suzuki. The loving gaze, to the hurt expressions, Serizawa really wears his emotions on his sleeves. Even through the hurt, Serizawa is positive and always helpful to Suzuki, something that he has in common with his friend group.
Serizawa's friend group really stole the show! They are always understanding and supportive to both Serizawa and Suzuki, regardless of the situations. They make everyone feel comfortable, even comfortable enough for Serizawa and Suzuki to confess their feelings for each other in front of the whole group. To be honest, if the friend group wasn't as supportive and able to create a safe space for Serizawa and Suzuki, they would have never gotten together. They probably would have just been classmates until they graduated and been each other's "one that got away." Serizawa and Suzuki bond over their love of BL novel, and the whole friend group also reads or has read BL, so they have no problem with Serizawa and Suzuki talking about it, or getting togther. They just seen it as the norm, so while Suzuki's former friends created a toxic environment for Suzuki and made him feel wrong and comfortable, Serizawa's friends make everyone feel welcome and safe.
•❅✧❅✦ The Taboo Subject: BL ✦❅✧❅•
While the drama does not go full on into the subject, it does lightly discuss how the BL genre is something that is very commonly read (or watched), yet embarrassing to discuss for men. Suzuki is ostrasized from his former friend group for enjoying BL openly, which is something society expects. Yet when Suzuki meets Serizawa and his friend group, he is surprised to learn that everyone in Serizawa's group has read or watched a BL at some point. They just don't openly discuss it.
Despite not going fully into the subject, the drama does great in showing how the times have changed. BL still isn't widely accepted, yet many people have at least read (or watched) BL and enjoyed it at some point in their life. It's not embarrassing, just not a topic that is openly spoken about yet.
•❅✧❅✦ Overall ✦❅✧❅•
The drama is a fun drama to watch. It's not something that you would probably put on repeat 200 times (maybe just something you will come back to rewatch every once in a while), but it is a drama that you will enjoy watching and feel good watching. The positivity and support from Serizawa and his friends will really put you into a safe and comfortable space. Also the OST is something that you will have repeating in your head for a few days after watching is.
