This episode was such a letdown. I am all for including a cast with diverse sexualities in queer spaces, but not at the expense of the said queer space. We are on episode 4, and our main leads are still acquaintances at best. The story also does not move anywhere. Yet for some reason, instead of using the already limited 40 minute timeframe wisely, we are watching Chan yeong, insignificant tennis storyline, and sacrifising the "chicken date" scene to happen off screen, which would've been the first significant moment between the main leads, just to give 15-20 screentime to a straight couple IN A BL. If they don't change the direction soon, I may end up dropping it, which is a shame, because I was excited to have a decent quality BL finally, but it looks like it may lead into harmful stereotypes, which I personally, am not here for.
