Can I still go to heaven?

I could never find the right words or the right sentences to describe how beautiful this series is.

I myself have dealt with the clash between sexuality and religion, and the emotional turmoil that leads afterwards. It took me MONTHS to accept myself and finally come back to my religion without feeling guilty. This story perfectly captured the guilt, the grief, the denial, the avoidance. I thought that I had gotten over my religious trauma, but watching this series really dug up all those feelings I had bottled up. I really thought that I wasn't going to cry. When I saw Auntie Lek, I couldn't contain my tears anymore. I love her. 😭

Shortcomings:
The pilot looked like it had more emotional depth. It almost seemed heavier. The wording was bolder and, well... what happened to the girl? I do wish it was a bit closer to the pilot. DESPITE THAT, the final results were still amazing.

Easy watch. Cute romance!

A cute fluffy story about a romance unraveling between two classmates. Each of them have their own issues that they deal with, and together they learn from each other and help each other slowly get past their troubles.

There isn't much conflict, so the series itself is easy to watch. No risk to your sanity! Some aspects are very much cliche, but this series goes about it in a way that's not very frustrating or tiring. I found myself feeling some frustration during times of conflict, only for them to be solved almost immediately. What amazing communication these two have... If only we had more of that in the BL world.

Overall, this series is an easy watch. If you're ever watching a scary series, you can watch this series to calm your heart and mind. At times, it can be a bit cringey. But, overall it’s a good series.

Entertaining :)

This series is messy, but fun. It shifts through different plots and tones in the story, making for a rollercoaster ride of a series. However, the unpredictable parts mixed with cliches kept me entertained.
I was surprised to find myself really into the love triangle storyline (though I do wish it had been handled with more consistency).

What I liked:
- Fun and likeable characters (more specifically Bowgie <3)
- Love triangle
- Funny situations with attention to detail

What I liked less:
- Plot holes and nonsense situations
- A few weak episodes
- Weak love triangle :(

[Just an FYI: This is more of a lighthearted/comical enemies to lovers theme.]
