My understanding is that the manga this is based on was much smuttier. Sanitizing the source material is another problem common to BL, though in many, if not most, cases, it HAS to be cleaned up to make it onto the air. That said, they often go way beyond what's necessary to clear that hurdle, which changes the character and leads to what we're seeing here.
Before I reply, are you serious or is this tongue-in-cheek?
On any other site, I would agree it was obvious, but MDL is crawling with humorous scolds just like the one you pretended to be. :) Hey, at least I asked before jumping down your throat. ;)
Started off strong, but for a show that stared with fingering and a pretty graphic first time (that old man was…

It's a tribute to the writers/director that this didn't even try to be a retread of S1.
Teh never slept with Jai.
Emotional/mental infidelity?
Name a human who hasn't experienced it to some degree.
wtf?

Maybe watch it with that in mind and you'll enjoy it.
I do.
I got so tired of Gun and his uke schtick that I avoid his current stuff.
Plus, he always acts the exact same, pouty way.
No, but I can see how it would feel better.
