Flawed male leads made the show even more relatable
In many BLs, the male lead is constructed to be a dreamboat-type character without any flaws (e.g. Phana in 2moons or Sutthaya in Fish Upon The Sky), which ironically, results in the character becoming quite bland. In Light On Me, there's Da On and Shin Woo, who are relatable characters precisely because they are flawed in their own way.
I’m generally not a fan of over-the-top drama when it comes to BLs so a messy love triangle sounds like it could be a bit much. Thankfully, Light On Me had plenty of wholesome and lighthearted moments that took the edge off the drama, making the series a surprisingly easy watch.
The conclusion of the series may be predictable but how the story unfolded still held its fair share of surprises from time to time.
