This show was good until the last few episodes, especially the last episode. The last episode was such a chore…
Despite what I had hoped, the show doesn't condemn the abuse by Jin Xun An's dad and just acts like it's completely okay?? This absolutely floored me. How are we, the audience, supposed to just accept this?? The show doesn't act like this was wrong in any way. Instead, it just shows them becoming all some sort of big, happy family afterwards. What in the world?? What the dad did is unforgivable and truly disgusting, but we're supposed to pretend like it's just some minor, inconsequential little feud for the family to quickly forget and get over. Also, how is Bai Lang just okay with this?? You would hope that if he heard that someone was beating up his boyfriend, he would be furious, regardless of who it is!! Doesn't matter that it's his boyfriend's dad!!! If I were Bai Lang, I would have no interest in being close to Jin Xun An's dad if I learned what he had done?? Instead, he doesn't seem to really take it very seriously, which upsets me.
I would have much preferred for the final few episodes to focus on literally anything else. At the very least, even if we absolutely had to go with the tired homophobic parents plot line, the dad didn't need to be literally physically abusive?? It makes the following familial moments with the dad utterly unwatchable. And it removes any emotional impact from Bai Lang meeting Jin Xun An's parents and gaining new parental figures in his life. I would say that Bai Lang is better off without a "family" than having to deal with a disgusting, violent bigot like Jin Xun An's father?? I would have greatly preferred for the show to use its last few episodes to focus more on Bai Lang's trauma and Bai Lang tackling his mental health issues together with Jin Xun An. The show completely forgets about this unique and important element of the plot at the end, which I think is a damn shame. I also would have wanted for the show to dedicate more screen time to the second couple, RJ and Alex. I personally liked the main couple more, but I think the second couple was really snubbed in this show. They really deserved more screen time to develop their story and relationship. Their story felt like a wasted opportunity to me.
Ultimately, I didn't hate this show, but I think it declined in quality at the end.
This show was good until the last few episodes, especially the last episode. The last episode was such a chore to finish, the cute moments didn't make up for the irritation.
I really liked the scene at the end of episode 3!! It was so interesting and mysterious. I'm really hoping we'll get some more intense moments like it later in the show.
This was soooooo good!! For some reason, I wasn't so sure about it after the first two episodes, but my opinion very quickly changed. I'm really glad I kept watching because I think this was excellent!
