If your looking for a slightly different, happy ending BL it is almost perfect, as long as you don't look too deep. It is honestly enjoyable if you suspend belief. It's a BL made for women and succeeds brilliantly at that.


In reality, there is a lot wrong with this show.

There are moments of brilliance, but a few episodes are so cringeworthy I had to FFW through the scenes.

The episode with Third acting out scenes from well-known romance films was painful to watch.
The 'Love Actually' scene? Pure cringe!

Khai is toxic, period. For Third to even call him his best friend was unbelievable. Khai uses Third. It is made abundantly clear from the first episode.
I had no respect for Third's character.
Aun quoting the line 'You get the love you think you deserve' from Perks of Being a Wallflower summed up Third in just one line. The screenwriter did not see the irony in using that in a scene.

Third, moving in with Khai, thinking he would change made Third look extremely self-absorbed. Add Third watching Khai in bed with a woman, bordered on stalker behaviour.

The sudden shift in Khai's feeling towards Third after seeing the video and hurting Third purposefully, only to then realize he has feelings for Third is an outdated and tired cliché.
Especially for a character like Khai who jumps from one woman to another. (If there was only ONE scene of Khai flirting with another guy this could have made sense.)

But of course, this is a BL where a character's sexuality can suddenly change in the space of a few weeks

'I can be gay for you, and you only' is such a lazy and overused trope, it is used in almost every MM romance book, almost all BL shows, films and series. And I'm not talking about Asian BLs only, it is a common plot device in major films as well.
That people still don't realize how homophobic this is, is astounding. The word gay is not even uttered once in this entire series.

And of course, we need another couple, Two and Aun. It just happens. Tow automatically assumes Aun is speaking about him when he overhears Aun and Shane. Aun makes a vague statement that could have been about anyone, (even Third).
Two does not discuss this with anyone and no one is surprised when Aun suddenly appears.

After all this Third forgives Khai, they start dating, but there is no physical interaction between the characters. It's almost as if Third is punishing Khai for past behaviour.

Apparently, being 'boyfriends' will consist of them holding hands for the rest of their lives.

Third does not trust Khai, how this relationship is supposed to work is only in the writers' imagination.
