While it was interesting to see Offroad in a villain role and you can see the actors have improved a bit in their craft, I stopped at ep 7 or 8. I get dark characters, dark storylines, and I love them. What I'm so tired of in the BL genre is romance shown through manipulation, abuse, and in this case a main character (Peem) shooting another (Than). On TWO different occasions. Peem is extremely manipulative and cruel. But then Peem shoots Than and leaves him to be buried. (and cries about it while holding a plushie later ... seriously?) I had a feeling that it would only be followed with them getting back together and getting married. So I stopped. It made me nauseous. Can we *please* show some reality with this sort of storyline, or don't show it at all. It is irresponsible on the part of the writers and producers to not show what happened for what it is = domestic violence and attempted murder. Than went through the unbelievably serious trauma of the person he loved trying to kill him, and yet it is treated like a blip on their romantic radar. 100% not what a character should run back to with an audience of young people, full stop. I know that these series sometimes require viewers to suspend what is real. However, it's infuriating to see so many viewers seeing this show as romantic and swoon-worthy. I worry sometimes that younger watchers are internalizing this shit as acceptable for themselves and others.
