honestly, I feel like this was one of the few BL’s that I’ve watched that was kind of a waste of time… the story was just so all over the place and rushed and unfinished I really don’t even understand what the point of the whole story was… If the moral of the story was “money can’t buy everything“, then that wasn’t really proven because Thee literally just bought everything anyway except for Peach and in the end Peach just ended up dealing with Thee acting that way instead of setting a true boundary or leaving him… If this was just supposed to be a story showing the love between two people, then it also failed there since it really didn’t show either of the main characters growing in any way or proving that having each other in their lives was an improvement.

it seemed like there were decent bones to the story, but the whole mafia plot was so confusing. I didn’t even realize they weren’t in the mafia until the ninth episode… if they wasn’t in the mafia, why did they have so many bodyguards and a personal one at that… Someone who was literally trained to protect Thee at all costs?!?? if they weren’t actually in the mafia, what would be the reason for that… If the family is so overprotective, they really didn’t show that either because the “rules” the parents were enforcing were dropped so easily? What was the reason of even having those rules if they didn’t even matter in the first place and they were going to be disregarded so easily… The parents didn’t even try to put up a fuss, so what was the point of the rules at all… I know they had trauma because of the robbing? that happened at the birthday party, but then where was the trauma for the birthday party that peach threw for them? And if they aren’t even mafia, why the hell were they robbed? Was it just a random occurrence or are they actually mafia and I’m just dumb? Nothing about that plot line is clear at all

and the trauma that Peach and Plub had to go through during their childhood also never came back up again, even though it was something so intense… You’d think so closely experiencing your parents death would be something that occurs in your mind more than a few times over the course of several months, but maybe Peach and Plub had some really good therapy that we didn’t see in the show LOL especially since it was shown several times that peach visits the orphanage where they lived so obviously this is a very important thing for him, but it’s never really brought up in any bonding kind of way with the children or even just daily stress from the trauma.

Don’t even get me started on the side stories… they were either completely pointless as well or just dropped before they even got solved. Tawan/Aran relationship was just so goofy and also only padded the plot to give Thee a reason to be jealous of Peach. Mok/Rome literally didn’t even get an ending… dude just got fired!!??!?? and then what… Literally nothing happened to them because the last episode was so rushed and a big huge nothing burger… I almost forgot about that random guy in the first few episodes who was trying to get back at Peach because Thee literally just paid for him to be gone instead of showing more than one situation that causes Peach distress, helping to prove the moral of the story is not “money can’t buy everything”… they really didn’t even show a great relationship between Plub and Peach because I have a similar relationship with my sibling and of course, not every relationship is the same, but as someone who loves their sibling to death, I didn’t really feel that true sibling love, especially since they are so trauma bonded… again just me personally there, but only a few times I really believed they were tight siblings and one of them was the literal trauma bonding in their childhood LMAO

also not as much of a big thing, but I did not feel the chemistry between the main leads in this show. Maybe it’s because the director didn’t direct them very well but I’ve watched FUTS and We Are and their chemistry was very good, despite such bad stage kissing LOL, but here I could barely tell that Peach even liked Thee and Thee just acted like a child the whole time and ended up getting his way no matter what so it seemed like neither of them really wanted to be there in the first place. It didn’t even seem like Peach wanted to get married, especially since in the ninth episode Peach said he didn’t want to get proposed to, but then he was just okay with getting proposed to next ep LMAO!!

I never write reviews for anything and I probably won’t unless I watch another show this poorly written, but really the only other show I’ve watched that made me feel so crazy when looking at all the 10 star reviews was “theory of love“, but that was because the whole show was basically gun being assaulted and treated so bad that it left a nasty taste in my mouth, not necessarily because it was written so poorly… really no offense to anybody, but I personally did not find any part of the show other than maybe the first three episodes to be worth the watch and I was really looking forward to something good happening in the show since, like I said, there were good bones for this show. Maybe if there was a different writer or director or maybe different main leads the show could’ve been something, but it was nothing burger Central. thanks for coming to my TED talk
