While it is hilarious to watch "Mob" try to avoid all the traps that living in the BL world sets for him, I am glad that the series ends after four episodes -- it's exhausting. But that's kind of the point, right?
The tropes quickly come one after the other, and the whole drama is very fast-paced.

I loved all the side couples and the couples in the background. Also the parents really are the epitome of "mob"!

There is one, maybe a minor, point I did not like:
* I don't understand why "Mob" is so desperate to avoid a romance storyline -- I get it in the beginning, when he's reading about "Meriba"-endings, which I wouldn't like for me either, but after a while it just feels a bit homophobic, especially as he doesn't want his little brother to end up with a guy too! I wish we'd get a better explanation for that. As it is, the whole thing feels a little off for me especially regarding the ending, which kind of comes out of nowhere.

Recommended, if you need a laugh and if you know a lot of BL tropes.
