This is simply the best BL you will find. Why? Because it’s healthy, it’s well-written, the actors actually have good chemistry, and—most importantly—it was made for us, the LGBTQ+ community. It has no stereotypes, no "I don’t like men, I only like you" bullshit, no internalized homophobia, and no commercial soft porn. It’s not for straight cis girls to feed their fetish; it’s a lovely, romantic story for us. We can't say that about many other BLs.

People will probably say, "Oh, but BL is made by women for women," as if they are so right. But not this story. In here, there is zero heteronormativity. There is no dude saying shit like, "You will be my wife," or "Let me touch your boobs." There is no rape being normalized and romanticized. There is no "strong" guy and "weak" guy. The director and his team took every bad trope that exists in the BL industry and threw it in the garbage.

He did an amazing job. He said "fuck off" to all that bad stuff and created a good rom-com. He took the enemies-to-lovers trope and made it healthy (something that has never been done right in this industry before)! He took an actor who had never played in a BL before and made him feel comfortable. There is not even one awkward scene between the actors. With the main couple being friends in real life, it could have gone in a completely wrong direction, but it didn't. It’s comfortable to watch; their performance is believable and lovely. This series is a breath of fresh air. It took bad BL tropes and made them good. I don’t believe anything will ever surpass it, but this director might just surprise us again.
