Painfully Real
This show is beautifully crafted—sad and painfully real. It’s a harsh reminder of just how much I dislike this world. The moments of raw emotion cut deep, especially the line: “We’re disgusting.” It’s a simple yet painful truth, one that echoes throughout the series. Then there’s another gut-wrenching line: “You know why I hate myself for liking girls?” The pain of those words, the self-loathing tied to something as simple as loving someone differently, is heartbreaking.
The show doesn’t hold back in showing how society makes it nearly impossible for some people to accept who they are. The pressure is relentless, and it forces characters to hide their truth, pretending to fit into a world that refuses to understand them. This constant struggle, this battle with internalized shame, is more than just heartbreak—it’s a war on their sense of self. The consequences of living in a society that judges love so harshly go beyond just a broken heart. It leaves lasting scars, forcing people to question their worth and place in the world.
The emotional depth of this show hits hard. It’s not just about a love that cannot be, but about the damage that years of societal rejection can cause. The way the characters are forced to accept a reality where their love is “disgusting” leaves you reflecting long after you watch. It’s exhausting, painful, and raw in a way that’s hard to fully describe, but it's something everyone should see, especially for those who’ve ever felt the weight of being told their love wasn’t “normal.”
This is not an easy watch, and it’s not meant to be. It’s an emotional ride that doesn’t offer a happy ending but gives you a powerful and real depiction of love, rejection, and the toll society’s standards take on personal identity.
Rating: 8/10
