Sotus paved the way. Saint Singto gave us our rights. Kings of GMMTV. Wigs? Snatched. UWUS? Busted. Pink milk? Drunk. Engineering degrees? Completed. Raikan? Topeni.

This was the first drama we watched as a cult, and we were not disappointed. The dramatic river scenes were a cultural reset. When we, still at this point, hear the sacred words of raikan topeni, part of us still feel the Sotus nostalgia. Get that bread! Get that romance! Get that gear! We are engineer!

On a more serious note, this drama did actually pave the way for the success of many other bl dramas, thus beginning to bring gay romcoms into the mainstream. Someday we will hopefully see lgbt creators in charge of their own stories, but until then Sotus remains a refreshing take on this genre with a gay couple in its centre. It is also notable that Sotus popularised the engineering concept, which I know many people are tired of, but in my opinion it remains a wholesome classic. As a bonus, it even has a lesbian couple if you squint. Not many other bl dramas can say that. Let's go, lesbians. We think this review now contains a perfect balance of humour, heart, and seriousness....just like Sotus.
