why r u... why r u... why r u...
this bl is not "good," but sometimes things that are not good still have the power to drive us absolutely insane. i loved the characters. loved them! as i go about my day, i still think about them, which is a sign of strong writing. the editing, the cast, the music, the editing were all great... that being said...
the episodes that came out before CO-VID 19 are good. actually, they're great. if they kept up that level of quality, why r u? could be my favorite bl. the setting is familiar, students at university, but the premise (at least for zon's character) is unique. he has premonitions of being in a relationship with his acquiescence, saifah, and his twin sister, zol, writes gay fanfiction about them on the internet. the premise of zon's sister writing gay fanfiction about him and saifah creeped me out at first, but odd as it sounds, i eventually grew to enjoy it. after all, if zon can see into the future, and they're twins, can't i conclude she has the same abilities? once i started seeing them as psychic twins, i found the idea of her turning her gay premonitions about her brother's love life into fiction funny. she is adorable, and i missed her character when she was gone!
saifah and zon are adorable and hilarious. once tutor and fighter get together, they are so into each other it's sickening, and they have the hottest makeout/sex scenes i've seen in bl. i was literally mystified by them, and by saint (actor who plays tutor), as a whole. outside of their respective pairings, zon and tutor have a cute, supportive friendship. tutor has a gay boss who supports his relationship with fighter, which i love to see. the three other side couples (1 het, 2 gay) were a little boring, but cute!
however, after CO-VID 19, why r u? turns into the tutor/fighter show, with saifah and zon appearing for a few minutes an episode, if at all. even then, their scenes together seem incomplete. it's a huge letdown, when they seemed to be the main couple...
obviously, why r u? had some production issues it couldn't help, which will leave you angry and disappointed. the end feels rushed, and leaves interesting plot points unresolved. i think it could potentially be redeemed with a season 2, or a re-edit, if the cast were able to get together later and refilm.
SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT:
why r u? becoming the tutor/fighter show would have been fine, if not for their awful break up melodrama. tutor and fighter's dad meddles in their relationship, and the pressure makes tutor break up with fighter. it's during this arc fighter assaults tutor. it doesn't go beyond kissing, but it's still extremely upsetting to watch. even more upsetting, they get back together soon after, and fighter's dad is magically no longer homophobic...
