I MISJUDGED THIS SO BAD

First of all: I think the title, trailer and synopsis of the series lead people to misunderstand what the series is about. It's more about coping with trauma and having someone help you heal than about them being friends with Benefits.

When I watched the first episode I the first time I fully stopped watching because of their first time since Uea was drunk and I thought this bl was just gonna be like others, I thought they'd just ignore the fact that it was a relation without consent (since drunk people CAN'T give any form of consent). HOWEVER after a couple months I went back to watch it because I saw a lot of people saying how good the series is, and I finished it in roughly 2 days, so here's a list to why this series was so amazing for me and thing I think they did REALLY well (slight spoilers ahead, nothing that I think it's major):

- Uea feeling guilty about their first night (since he was drunk and was thinking that he should've controlled himself when it happened) and King telling him that it wasn't his fault.

- (this refers more from the middle to end of the series, after King's character development) EVERY time King reassured Uea with words and respected his time and decisions, not asking why Uea didn't feel comfortable in certain situations. Also loved every time time King made sure to let Uea know that if he doesn't want/feel comfortable in trying some things he's fine with it and it's okay, cuz it was really important for Uea to not feel pressured to accept things.

- Depict how trauma always affects us. I think Uea's trauma with sa was really well depicted, specially when he was sometimes triggered by King's actions. It didn't matter that he trusted King, people with sa traumas can be triggered by anyone, even if it is their lover, best friend or family.

Now some things that I disliked:
- Every time they communicated like shit, since up to this point they always seemed to try and communicate.

Final Note: Loved how after they start dating we didn't have NSFW scenes as graphic as when they were just friends with benefits, that goes to show that now it is a meaningful and private thing between the couple and not just something periodic that they were doing just because.

Comfort.

I love this. First and Khaotung are such an amazing pair and the whole Suppalo situation is really good. I love the OST too, it's so good and relaxing to hear. There's not much to say, I just really love this, and I love the way they wrote Akk's character so you can really feel like he's trying to find comfot and acceptance in his sexuality and the fact that Aye realizes it and doesn't rush things is just comforting to watch.

I don't even know what to say

I mean, the rich boy has daddy issues and is dumb and the poor boy doesn't have parents and is a really good student, four clichès in one. I love Perths acting, it really reminds me of Khaotung, but Chimon on the other hand starts to feel forced at some point, like he didn't want to be there. They're chemistry is fine, but again Chimon's acting feels forced. I feel like this could have more potential.

BEST BL I'VE WATCHED

I love this. Jimmy and Sea's acting was so perfect, and the whole cast is amazing. Also, why is Mark everywhere? I love the story and the chemistry but I gotta admit, the last 2 episodes were kinda desappointing, I feel like Day and Mhock would've talked more instead of just breaking up and completely breaking they're connection after all they had been through together. After the timeskip I only have like, one question, we saw Mhock doing the check in at the aeroport and when Night asked if anyone lost the flight he was told that no one lost it, so how was Mhock at the wedding place? Anyway It was really cute and I was hopping me would get Mlock and Day getting married cuz I'm sure they'd slay the outfis.

Jay's the best

Watched almost 10 episodes of this just because of ZeeNunew and NuerSyn but I got tired, this relationships just look so toxic, like Nuea doesn't even feel safe to tell his lover about his interests. And it also looks like these people can't kiss without having sex, like chill bro the world ain't ending. Anyways I've watched worse things so... Also I love Jay so much, he's the best character in all of this series.

Aye?

Cute but wtf happened to my boy Aye? Akk telling him how he feels unhappy and he tells him to stfu cuz he can't resist when he's angry (?) My boy Aye would never do that when his lover is trying to simply COMMUNICATE. It's simple, Aye would listen to Akk and comfort him. But if we ignore that Aye's birthday Surprise to Akk was really cute and had me crying.

HEAR ME OUT

This might be a little biased BUT for the way people talked about their acting I thought it was gonna be trash and awful to watch. It was actually kinda good considering that they're NOT professional actors. I love how they depict the guilt of lgbt love and how the industry works. People need to understand that lots of things that happen (mostly in bg) is just fanservice. I'm not saying it's all the groups but some of them are. There's also that thing in the kpop or bl industry where it's okay to act gay but BEING gay is considered wrong, as if it should be hidden. I'd honestly say that KB did an amazing job cuz I was getting pissed at his character. I really liked it and was invested to find out what had really happened between Hyubin and Jihoon. Yes, it was rushed and I almost had a heart attack thinking they'd be separated but overall it was kinda good. Also if you like ooo I'd recommend it, just to support our boys, cuz even tho the show isn't one of the bests I really think this type of stories are important to be depicted.
