What a messy story. I’m honestly glad I didn’t watch this while it was airing. We have:

1. A desperate, hopeless romantic who is also a complete idiot: Fou4Mod
2. A straight-up asshole: Chian
3. A genius, caring, and sincere friend: Baabin (the only character I truly liked in the entire series)
4. An egocentric narcissist: Bua

I watched this mainly because of Director Boss Kuno, since I Told Sunset About You is one of my favorite shows. But I guess I’m just too old for this kind of story. Even though I usually enjoy coming-of-age narratives, this one was more frustrating than moving.

That said, the direction is spectacular. Boss Kuno did an excellent job visually and technically. In my opinion, this show does not need a season 2. It should end exactly where it is.

I’d really like to see Boss Kuno direct a more mature BL series next, something focused on working adults. Fou4Mod’s character reminded me a lot of Teh (Billkin) in ITSAY, so I guess he has a thing for portraying this type of painfully pathetic character.

I’d give Gelboys an 8.5/10, mostly because of the cinematography.
