This review may contain spoilers
Consent / domestic violence:
- Several instances of non-con touching framed as flirting or in a comedic light.
- Several dubcon/noncon kisses (both sober and drunk).
- One scene where one character shoves the other in the chest out of anger several times, even though he’d just been shot.
- One scene where one character gets angry, grabs a fistful of the other’s hair and forcefully kisses him.
Problematic things:
- Referring to one character as the “girlfriend”.
- Normalized corporal punishment from grandparents.
Kiss / sex scenes: no sex scenes, the farthest it went was shirtless making out in bed
Notable good points:
- Both characters took care of each other. It wasn’t one-sided, with one person in charge of protecting and taking care of the other person. Both characters took the lead in the bedroom, and when they got engaged, both characters got rings. I liked that they were equals.
- Final episode was just dedicated to them being happy together. Too many series wrap up too quickly and we don’t get to see them happy for long enough after all the angst.
Notable bad points:
- They live together, are in a relationship, and are presumably in love, but they don’t even sleep in the same bed.
- The couple earrings were weird, especially considering they were originally gifted to track and bug the other guy, but they kept wearing them even after everything was out in the open.
- Second couple got together in the final episode. I honestly didn’t want them to get together, considering one was hung up on his ex for years and only finally let him go in the final episode.
