Left me feeling broken. /Switch representation / Mature love

I seldom write reviews, but I had to for this series. It was absolutely brilliant in every way, the acting was out of this world. The chemistry was so natural and beautiful between the couples. The story was complex and thrilling.
The last three episodes devastated me and my friends so much though that some of us were crying and all of us agreed we could not watch the series again. It's a testament to how heavy it felt, how much this series managed to make us care about it and it's characters.
(If you watch this, make sure you're in the right mental state to do so!)

I think it's worth pointing out that this series has showed us something that should be commonplace, but isn't in this type of media - a couple that switches positions in bed. This is the reality a big chunk of the queer community practices and it's high time we got to see it in screen.

//Slight spoiler//
I'm also a big fan of the fact that they let a fixed pair like MileApo switch top/bottom positions in this series. Another way in which they broke those tired tropes open.
I'm very thankful they made this series.
