I have dropped it after Episode 1, but people were praising the show, so I've decided to give it a chance. Actually, I did like the second couple, although their subplot wasn't explored at all. But everything about this show, it all was like a soap drama. And the romance between main leads was rushed. It made zero sense for Ashi to decide suddenly to spend his whole future with Pun, no matter how good Pun took care of him for the past month he got to know him, even if Pun he loved him for 9 years. How can you know you want to spend your life with someone when you just started dating literally a couple of days ago? And the way he suddenly made up his mind and they jumped right into NC scene made even less sense.
Besides, Pun's character gave off autistic vibes, with Ashi being his hyper fixation - at first I was looking forward to it, it would be so interesting if plot actually described him as an autistic character - but no, he was not on the spectrum, he was just acting like a teenager for no good reason. And besides, that sad melancholic soundtrack during each NC scene between main couples was so off-putting, like it didn't fit the mood and vibe at all. I think the cast was actually quite fine, and they did a good job with roles they were given, but the writing, the plot, it was so cliche and so expected. After Episode 7, I just kept skipping all episodes, and each time I paused on a scene from just a sentence from a dialogue, I could know what is happening and what is going to happen next. I even checked my assumptions, I literally read what happened in each episode, and I was right. Sprinkling in NC scenes doesn't make for a good BL show.
