THE GOOD
- Good chemistry
- Doesn't rush the couple to be together
- Interesting characters with flaws and unique character traits
- Very satisfying romance arc
THE ???
- tbh I expected this to be way more toxic based on the title. There are definitely still some IFFY things in this, but for the most part I think it handles them well? Or treats them as toxic, so it doesn't just pretend like being toxic is okay...mostly?
THE BAD
- Pace sometimes drags.
- Way too much lingering on love scenes to fill time and just gazey fan service.
- Way too much lingering on homophobia and each antagonist plot in general.
- Doesn't resolve antagonist plots well -- rushes the wrap up after dragging them on too long. Weirdly some are granted forgiveness (way too easily) and others are vilified even in the end (when maybe they deserved some sympathy?)
