I was going to pass on this because I thought it was going to be a zany comedy, full of sound effects and idiocy. I was wrong. I think that Secret Crush on You (SCOY) is one of the best series made. It shows excepting your flaws, being open to love with an unexpected person, This series also focuses on the bonds of friendship and being there for each other.

The major strengths in my opinion were that Nuea treated Toh just like he would a female partner (meaning gender wasn't an issue). He took Toh home to meet his family, and the family accepted him. Later, Toh took Nuea to meet his family. Toh had already told his mother about Nuea being his boyfriend, so the parents knew about their relationship before Nuea met them. Yes, there was some "drama" but it ended up being as quirky as the rest of this series is.

I was somewhat disappointed that Daisy turned out to be transgender, rather than a fem man. I think that BL at times creates too many straight passing, gym bodied men, and the industry doesn't pay proper homage to the fem gay man. I loved the character Daisy, but spent most of the series thinking she was a man, only to later learn that she is trans. I still love Daisy, though.

My favorite character was Toh. To me, Toh is the person who is saying aloud what many of us experienced during adolescence. I think this is why many people find Toh very cringy, because he reminds us of our most cringiest thoughts and behaviors while growing up.

I will rewatch this series because I love all of the characters, the friendships and the relationships.
