What I Liked
- caring MLs*
- easy to understand premise
- realistic how smiles can hide pain
- that crying scene (I added .5 to my rating just for that scene)

Room For Improvement
- not happy with what a ML did at the end of episode 1 and later since he could see that the other ML was dealing with some stuff, he creeped me out a bit at times with his ignoring of boundaries but I factored in his age and didn't judge him as harshly as I would older characters
- they showed a several month montage after which time he asked to go on a date???
- one apology was realistic but the second seemed too coincidental/rare
- the mom drama
