Redemption arcs
Although the drama dealt with heavy topics, there were some light moments as well. Some characters received their due and were punished; some received significant redemption arcs reinforcing the theme of SLI, the company Saint and Ice have formed with their friends.
SPOILERS BELOW
Things I liked:
1. Despite feeling abandoned by his mother, Ice reconnects with her and becomes a part of her new family. The healing he gets from this is significant.
2. Saint standing up to his Dad, who is then forced to face his own demons and, through therapy, becomes the Dad Saint needs. Amazing redemption arc.
3. Broad overview as well as details on how LGBTQ+ youths are treated and suffer in society, which give rise to suicide and suicide ideation.
4. Mentioning mental health, therapy, the company Saint and Ice formed about artists with a past are positives that people can act on.
5. Ice and Saint finally communicating well to say what they needed to. Second Chance Love is one of my favorite tropes, and I thought it was executed here.
