Above Average BL Drama
I really loved this drama, mostly for the strong performances by the two leads played by Oreo and Strong. Their chemistry is terrific. I don't want to give away the plot but the second season ends on a tragic note, but sets the stage for another sequel where, I hope, the outcome we've been waiting for through nearly 30 episodes will be resolved. Like most of these dramas, this episodes seem heavily padded just for the sake of filling time. The plot is a refreshing departure from the formula of two guys in Engineering school. Oreo's character Pop is drawn as a bit of a gay cliche, being a little too interested in skin care and plush toys but thankfully Oreo plays him straight. Strong's character Oat is true to the BL formula in being mostly obnoxious to Pop. This is supposed to be his clumsy way of saying he likes Pop. Also to formula, there are endless scenes of our heroes crying and saying they're sorry to each other. The most interesting element in this drama is Pop and Oat really have more of a bromance going on and it raises some interesting questions about what it means for two guys to love each other in a platonic way. That's a very contemporary topic among men who identify as straight. There are obligatory gay stereotypes in the supporting cast. I guess those are suppose to provide the audience with almost cartoon comic relief to contrast the main characters. Happily, there isn't too much time wasted on those characters as the drama go on. I do hope there is a third sequel to resolve these stories as the audience hopes they'll end up. We have a lot invested in these characters.
