I had to stop watching after the love interest throws Rain on his bed and sexually harassed him.

Let me say I'm all for watching problematic things, but the problem is when such shows expect us to find them romantic & hot. And it's working. Many people who commented on yt find this "relationship" hot, charming, sexy...

Even if you are into someone, that person has no right to keep harassing you.
People who romanticize abuse and toxic relationship start screaming right away "it's a show they're not REAL people". Yes it's a show. But if you watch thriller & crime series or a movies you also don't throw your morals away. When you see abuse you say "that's wrong". When you read a book you probably say "wow she/he was harassed that's terrible". Even if it's not real people, it's a horrible situation. But somehow people forget about morals when it comes to abuse in BL.

You know what is very real? Lines that Phyau says "you are throwing yourself at me", "you are playing hard to get". And I see people being crazy about these lines in the comments. Somehow these lines are super hot.
You can watch this show, you can find characters interesting, funny, charismatic... but you can also see what's right and what's wrong. It's disgusting how many people defend Phayu's actions and they find them sexy.
You watching this show, it doesn't make you a bad person. You romanticizing abuse and harassment makes you a bad person. Because my only thought is... if you defend abuse, you're probably abusive person yourself. Or at least a person who clearly doesn't respect themselves if you'd love to be treated the way that Rain is being treated.
You can love a show and also disagree with character's behaviour.

Phayu is a very abusive person... and Rain 100% deserves better. After a while I finished watching ep 1 and I started with ep 2 but after Rain was spanked, and after the kiss I stopped again.

Showing abusive behavior is fine. But it's not fine when you only do it because you want people to find this kind of thing hot. It's fine when you show that one of the characters comes to a conclusion that he doesn't deserve this. Or another characters helps him to come to this conclusion. Or at least when an abusive character comes to a conclusion that he f---ed up. And works on himself to become a better person.


If you're watching the show then that's fine with me. I might check it out later on myself to see if things get worse or better for Rain because I really adore his character. But from experience toxic characters like Phayu in BL's usually don't get much better. I could be wrong and he will grow as a character, and realize what he's doing is all kinds of f---ed up. But I don't have much hope. I'll drop the series for now and come back when more episodes will be out. It's such a shame really, because I fell in love with Rain's character right away. I love dorky characters like him.

I really wish all harassment wouldn't be shown and Rain would just fall asleep at Phayu's and then accidentally at night they start cuddling or something in their sleep. Like Rain rolls over more to Phayu's side and Phayu's hand accidentally hugs Rain for example.
