four years later.. does it still hold up? (spoiler alert: YES IT DOES)
my love mix-up is a good show. it is cute, fluffy, easy to watch, and an all around good time. is it actually 10/10 quality.. no, BUT i'm still rating it a 10/10 because i had wayyyy too much fun watching this. what i loved most about this show was not actually the main characters, my favorite part was hashimoto. hashimoto is the female side character and the reason she is my favorite part is because I DONT HATE HER!!! that might sound weird, but honestly, i have heavily disliked almost every single female side character in bls from ALL countries, and when we first met hashimoto in this show, i was really worried i was going to hate her too. however, hashimoto is a FANTASTIC character. she's actually so freaking cute, shes so supportive, and she doesn't try to interfere with the two main leads (which is honestly one of my biggest bl pet peeves). besides the fact that the female side character doesn't make me wanna kill myself, the main couple here are so cute. aoki is me and i am him. he's so funny bro like genuinely i love him so much. ida is.. a little slow, but aren't we all? i really loved watching their relationship grow, it was so freaking wholesome. my biggest gripe with the show is that weird episode with the assistant teacher who's like super homophobic like.. why? i honestly hate when bls do that, when they make teachers play super big roles as like homophobic assholes. another example i can think of is at the end of my school president. i understand that it creates necessary conflict but it just pisses me off like why does a grown ass man care so much who his students are into like you weirdo it is NOT that deep fam. anyways, this show is still a super fun time. since it's a little bit older its obviously a lot more watered down. its been a little while since i've seen this but like i dont even think the main leads kiss WHICH IS FINE its just definitely a different vibe than the usual bls we see being released now. my love mix-up is like a cute comfort bl to watch when you're like lowkey really sad and need a good laugh. its a really good show, and yes, it DOES still hold up, even after four years. :)
