finally finished this and my yuri senses never fail me, unrequited crushes for everyone lol
You're bound to found something eventually if you suspect yuri vibes are constantly around. But seriously, come on, towards the end it's more teasing than an elementary school bully.
Technically, it's somewhat of an open ending, but overall, it's a mixture of a wish-fulfillment parody and a rom-com love polygon. But you have to watch it yourself to understand. Just reading spoilers won't give you the gist.
The Japanese still have an age of consent, but they don't have the same moral panic around it as the West.
I simply pointed out that you're viewing things in an Asian country through the prism of European morals and trends, trying to transfer the context of real life to a game show, and attempting to genderize the issue as if men are forcibly imposing the idea of age-gap relationships on women. At the same time, it is you who find it uncomfortable to indicate your real age yourself. This is a classic example of moral panic.
No one disputes that age gap relationship are controversial and problematic. But exaltation of the discourse doesn't help solve the problem; it simply polarizes people and creates a hostile environment.

It's a moral panic in the sense that modern Western culture removes the nuances of adult and child, making even a 17-year-old girl's relationship with a 20-year-old boy look like an adult seducing a small child. And as your comment shows, it's aimed at demonizing men as predators, ignoring the fact that women are much more interested in age-gap relationships than men.
For example, I am a man and I directly indicate my age on my page for context, while when talking about this, you, as a girl, hide your year of birth.
This is just a woman's fantasy about a "safe" BL plot.
These are common attempts by people to spice up their lives by fantasizing about romanticized problems. Just like guys fantasize about constant, intense fights.
This is just a woman's fantasy about a "safe" BL plot.
First of all, it was a joke. Secondly, many people enjoy agnsty fantasies because it adds variety to their real lives, which they find boring. Just remember all the media about toxic partners and the "I can fix them" idea.
The best way to look at this drama is dont try to relate to the characters. Just view it as a spectacle or exhibtion.…
Just imagine a gender-swapped version of this drama, where the straight man was worried about his wife's bisexuality and her lesbian lover. The comments would be several times more heated and "funny."
