Most Accurate BL Show I've Seen
After having a gay LDR for 4 years, this show is incredibly accurate.
It is accurate in two separate ways: The relationship is accurate and the LDR elements are accurate. Most BL shows are for straight girls and so lose a lot of accuracy, but this show is made with LGBT people in mind and it shows. The relationship itself feels more realistic than any other BL show I have seen.
As for the LDR, I had a very similar experience: arguments about jealousy over friends, intruding exes, the supportive girl friend, etc.. and the way the social media parts are integrated is also very well done.
I also loved the format of the show: that every single shot is from the perspective of computers. All of the shots in the show are either from video game livestreams, social media feeds, and phone calls. A lot of the scenes are slightly weird because of this for example when the scene could have been 2 people by themselves, one of the characters is on a call with a third character just so that there is a camera to view the scene from. This, in my opinion, is a good compromise and I don't mind the scenes being a little bit weird if it means adhering to the very unique way that the show is shot.
However there are a few scenes here and there that violate this rule. There are shots that are just from mid air (like any other sitcom would be shot) and I feel these should have been avoided. Some might say that the story should come first and those beautiful scenes made up for the fact that they violated the show's format but I would have preferred some more thought put in to make those scenes follow the format.
Despite that issue, the core of the show remains flawless. The characters are good, the story is great, the relationship is incredibly accurate and the LDR is extremely accurate (at least for me).
10/10
