It's interesting that you found the behaviors you're foaming at the mouth against, to be "cute." Perhaps…
Well, I'd have to reply that the black/white/gray thing I described above isn't in-depth at all, it's simply a fact of life, a baseline that every human, even characters in a BL, should be assessed from.
It sounds to me that you so disliked Gyeon's behavior in certain aspects that you overlooked everything admirable about him, like his intense loyalty and protectiveness. I readily admit that his protectiveness (of a beloved friend who was clearly incapable of protecting himself) became overbearing at times, but that too exists on a continuum.
There are people far more "protective" than Gyeon, to the point of obsession (and at times I, like you, felt he crossed that line), and there are people who are so not-protective that they don't give a damn. My hope would be the two of them would work on these issues over time, as most couples in successful, lasting relationships do.
I realize I probably am giving more thought to this than the show's plot merits, but hey, my brain goes to these places on automatic, so sometimes I'm just along for the ride. If I liked a show enough to give it a few hours of my life, then I see no harm in learning something from it, even if what I learn is only how my brain goes places on its own, whether I like it or not. :)
There's a mega-successful and well-loved Thai BL that I cannot bear the thought of called "Bad Buddy." I found it so childish, moronic, poorly written, cast, acted, and directed that its fangirling popularity only made me dislike it more. However, I learned quite a bit from the watch experience, including that... Hate-watching can be fun. Having a hot lead take his shirt off a lot goes a long way. It's entertaining to mock a wimp pretending to be a dominant top. Much of the BL audience has zero standards and is borderline brainless. No one cares what I think. No one else caring what I think won't stop me from doing it anyway.
If you've read this far, thanks, and have a good night/day.

If you "didn't find it cute," then how, exactly, do you know the director intended to make it seem so?
I liked Gyeon and his affection for DoHa extremely appealing and authentic, but I saw nothing "cute" about his slugging Coffee Man on the beach. It's almost as if Gyeon, like you and me, is not all good or all bad, all "toxic" (lazy, trendy cliche) or all pure, but some combination of all those traits.
The universe contains infinite shades of gray, and Gyeon is far more white than black.
Agree, however, " CAN'T CRITICIZED the characters /actors they have very limited power, Kwriter this is how…

I hate toxic boyfriends — or even worse, toxic friends who want to be more — who try to defend me from anyone…

Nothing like that. We just have critical judgement - I enjoyed the show a lot when it started, bit it went downhill,…
To paraphrase: "I like this show because I've seen the same silly show 40 times before, so I'll like this one too. I mean, why not? And if you disagree, your comment is...'bad.'" lol

Either that, or "some of us" don't understand why you keep bringing out your old, incoherent English writing tactic, yet wonder why people don't know what the hell you're talking about.
What a lovely way to describe a sad feeling.
Hugs to you.

I'm guilty of the opposite extreme: I often break after every one/two/three sentences. :) I find that better fits how my tiny mind works.
Doha would do best to stay ass-up and silent for Gyeon the rest of his life.
Done!
Colonoscopy drain pipe highway so gnarly!
Done!
I know I'm not the first to point this out, so don't bother to act offended.
Maybe leave comments in your first language along with a link to Google Translate?
Oh god, I forgot all about her! :D
Interesting...though odd.
lol
Good to know comments that disagree with your comments are "bad."
Seek therapy and shock treatments.
Spittle-spewer.
Psycho.
