Liked Killing Stalking? Watch. Didn't? Don't Watch.
I'm going to describe this BL in 7 words. TRIGGERING, DARK, MORALLY WRONG, CUTE, FUNNY, EMOTIONAL, SPICY.MY TAKE ON THE TRIGGERING CONTENT
The problem with most of the comments, which I'm sure you've noticed, is most skip over all the scenes of the second couple. If you judge a storyline off of one scene and skip through all the rest, you miss out on essential key points that give more substance to the storyline. Also, skipping scenes is NOT how you watch any piece of media. No matter how triggering the scenes, you have no right to judge something if you can't even watch it all the way through. Again, I will say again, the second couple is the perfect example of the dark, twisted, and a bit psychotic ways people can think and the actions they cause. I might be a little biased though since I like books and films that would trigger most people and reveal the darker side of humanity. People say it's unrealistic...But is it really? Life is not about fluff and happy endings and not all people are good and also not all people react to bad people the way we think they should, even if it is due to a mental illness. Also a character is displaying signs of a mental illness, the storyline doesn't have to talk about it. Films, BL films especially, are not meant to educate, they are meant to entertain, and that's exactly what this story does, it entertains but only for people who enjoy storylines with these topics. I find them interesting, you know why? Because it's NOT real. It's a fantasy world. Sure it has some realistic elements to it but it's still fantasy, and as I stated before, this stuff does happen in real life, just hidden from the public eye. That's what makes this story so interesting. It pushes the boundaries on what we think is acceptable in media. The truth is there are really twisted people out there who do messed up things.
BL CLICHES
Now I want to talk about the cliches people are complaining about. The over the top expressions, and random moments are what makes this series funny. The "over acting" is 100% intentional and meant to add comedy to the storyline. People who expect realistic acting from BLs are really missing out on some really funny stuff. Over acting is just a part of the BL industry as a whole, for stories that are meant to be over the top. Also, the guy pretending to be gay to get a girl...Is it wrong? Yes. Is it expressed in the story? Also yes. Does the character realize the error in his ways? YES. Negative attributes are OKAY to portray because normally the character learns a lesson from it. Accept with the second couple where no one really learns a lesson but, the toxicity is also another major part of BL. I just find it so sad how everything has to conform to be a perfect world where no one does anything morally wrong, and if they do it affects the rating of the whole story. Just enjoy BL for what it is. Fiction. Fantasy. and sometimes, DARK and TOXIC. If you don't like that type of stuff stick to the fluff and happy endings or morally accurate endings. Or, you can just enjoy, if not triggered, because I do understand that for some it can be tough to see that content. But all in all key points, TRIGGERING CONTENT, DARK,TWISTED,MORALLY WRONG,FUNNY,CUTE,EMOTIONAL,SPICY.
