I've watched some pretty bad BLs. But most of them at least got a "little" better as the series progressed. This one has NOT. Its boring pace, bad dialogue (writing), and many toxic and abusive undertones just make tanking this series, IMO. Yes, there are attractive guys, and if that's enough for you, more power to you. But for me, the series needs to at least be entertaining, and it is not.
Another engineering-based bl with a mix of older actors playing younger roles, and a few younger actors playing older roles. Some quasi-classic ships and a few newer ones are apparent in this series. However, it would seem it will entail the same old classic tropes and stereotypes, just this time it has ALOT of pretty faces. Well, at least the pretty faces will most likely keep folks watching, even if the plot sucks (and from the first ep., it appears to be headed in that direction).
P.S. With so many mains, couples and eps., is this series supposed to be an anthology? It seems like it, but im not sure.
I had the same thought during the finale sex scene. Only my brain framed it as a character issue rather than an…
Hmm. Interesting. I've long believed that as well. Curious again. Do you believe it's the males or females in the BL world who don't want the top/bottom stereotype to die? Or is it both?
P.S. Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with people getting redemption. But I also believe that every now and then a little payback could be dished out before receiving that redeemption. In other words, make them earn it!
I really don't like the characters of Hope (Pee) and Save (Ne). I get it that the plot is trying to make them "seem" to actually be a "good" couple, when actually they're both a piece of sh*t. They'll harm, backstab, or rat on anyone for their own sakes. There's nothing redeemable in either of them. But as BLs go, these two will be able to do all kinds of sh*t to everyone and STILL be forgiven in the end. What a crock of crap!!

Well, the screenwriters were all female (no big surprise there) and probably never even gave it a thought that not all gay male couples mimic straight couples when it comes to "who does what in bed." I really do think that these screenwriters, producers and directors forget that BOTH individuals have penises and might actually want to use them once in awhile. LOL!
In all of their series, why does Tutor always have to be the top and Yim be the bottom? What? They can't switch it up every now and then??? Those Thai tropes and stereotypes at work yet again. Oh well, maybe they'll switch it up in their next series. LMFAO!
After today's ep, this series' plot is getting messier and messier. It literally makes no sense. I guess it's just a mindless plot with good looking actors and absolutely nothing else. Well, I've seen enough eye candy. I'm dropping at this point and might binge it later on.
Although I know that some folks actually didn't have a problem with the rape scenario between step-brothers, and some folks were even very ok with it. That part of the plot took away what made the HIStory series (up to that point) kind of different and special among BLs. Yes, the HIStory series had toxicity and bad behavior, but the series had never crossed "that" line and I think that this series suffered for it.
