Wish There Was More Foreshadowing

I really this show. Not as much as others I've seen though, for a good reason. While watching Tonhon Chonlatee, I liked all of it, the characters, the hidden relationship of best friends, familiar actors, cute guys, the relationship progressions, all of it. Or well, most of it. The storyline...It was good until Chonlantee's confession arc. When Tonhon confesses back, like, it felt so forced? This whole time he had not shown any interest in him, he actually showed MUCH disinterest. It was less of a plot twist rather than a just okay-this-is-what-were-doing-now? I wish they would have foreshadowed it more. It was a bit of a hot mess with some themes though too. Like, Chonlatee in the bathrooms? Rape or sexual assault is not something to be taken as lightly as it was. Overall, I liked it, but there are many ways it could have been improved.

Probably the best BL Ive seen, except...

I wanna be buried with this series. I wanna marry it. It's so ADVANCED. I'm a writer and aspiring director and during the entire time I was watching this series all I could think was of how advanced it is. The story/plot is mind-blowing...it explores uncharted territory--PARTICULARLY the background/childhood for BOTH of the leads. It's unique and honestly, a breath of fresh air. It easily breaks stereotypes, things omitted by past dramas. The plot is so up and down that even straight Kdramas fear it. It challenges basic character structure. NOT MANY ASIAN BL DRAMAS TODAY CAN DO THAT. And by not many, I mean like, two or three. The main pairing, both characters surprised me. It's almost a learned trait of a sort now. I can see an actor and automatically know how they're going to act, and it's TERRIBLE. It's refreshing to see such interesting characters.

There's only one thing stopping this from being a 10/10 and that is, as usual, the Taiwanese drama curse. I have never seen a Taiwanese drama that didn't have at least ONE controversial thing. And that thing ALWAYS has the power to ruin the entire series. I hate to say it but Keseki: Dear To Me didn't dodge it. Also the soundtrack didn't stick out to me, never really does. Music is really important, even in series such as these, and there was a severe lack.
