I went into this show with high expectations cause I saw it was short and had good ratings, which is perfect for me. After watching it I have to say I do not understand why this show has such high ratings. Not to summarize it but it's basically about a gay boy who sleeps with older men cause he's scared of finding love and being hurt/rejected but decides to give it a try after meeting a boy he likes. Their relationship grows over the episodes culminating in a confession which leads to the other boy saying he doesn't feel the same way but is willing to give it a shot. They end up together and that's it. I understand it is very short and for this reason not as fleshed out but I still feel like their relationship at the end was quite forced. My interpretation was that the other boy decided to date him cause first of all he's a kind person and also didn't want to lose the other guy's support and friendship. I didn't feel that spark between them in a romantic way, but as a friendship it did feel somewhat genuine. Also I gotta mention this, not to be rude in any way but the protagonist has very huge pick me vibes and is always acting over the top in a way that is kinda difficult to watch. It took me a few days to get through the episodes for this reason. Overall I don't find this story particularly interesting nor does it feel genuine enough to me, and I personally wouldn't recommend it even if it's a short watch.
