There was too many stereotypes to count in this series but I don't know....I enjoyed it for the most part. It's definitely not a life changing series and to me it's just a fun little series to watch when there's not much else. The main couple is very strange and the dynamic of their friendship is probably stranger than their relationship. Throughout their friendship we see Ton being very close minded and almost pressuring Chon to get a girlfriend. Then everything happens and their in a relationship and Ton accepts it pretty quickly....which would be fair enough but then we find out Ton has actually fancied Chon for a long time also. There's little to no indication that Ton is even slightly interested in Chon whatsoever until he finds out Chon likes him. I don't know haha it confuses me so much. Its a good comfort series I guess.

Let's not forget about Na, he's so adorable but gets used.....ugh I'm glad he found happiness right at the end.

There's so many good things to write about this series. I didn't actually know it was coming out, I happened to catch it whilst it was airing and I don't for a second regret choosing to watch it. It has everything you could hope for in a bl. There's not biphobia, no heteronormativity, and much to my surprise ....no stereotypes that we typically see in other series. It's a story of two boys who grew up as enemies because of family issues.

The acting is incredible....especially the rooftop scene. The emotions Ohm and Nanon had to portray were tough but they did it in such a way. I can't watch that scene without crying now. The facial expressions throughout the whole series are amazing.

So I'm gonna let the biased me go to sleep for a bit whilst I write this or I'll just be talking about VegasPete and BibleBuild's acting. This series is one where you have to leave your morals at the door before watching it. Basically all characters with the odd exception are awful people and have done things we don't agree with. For the sake of watching it and enjoying it you have to sorta put yourself in the mindset of x did this to y but that doesn't mean he's a bad person, even if in real life you wouldn't agree with that. It's not a light series, its really dark, especially the first few episodes and the last few.

So to start I'll talk about the couples.

KinnPorsche: Being the main couple they had the main focus, their story is beautiful and there isn't too much to say on their development. They should have communicated more that for sure but I feel as though boc portrayed their relationship really well. It was a love neither of them expected but once they had it they embraced it. I did enjoy them up until maybe ep 8-9 it just felt like there was so many scenes that weren't needed by this point. Once they had acknowledged their love for each other they both turned into completely different people which is to be expected but they majorly lacked communication. Especially when spoiler alert....Kinn's ex Tawan came back from the dead. Overall I did love them and MileApo did an incredible job at portraying them. Apo as Porsche has to be one of the best things I've seen, his portrayal of Porsche's emotions especially earlier on was something I never expected.

VegasPete: So aside from the fact they barely got any screentime in the grand scheme of things, they took my heart. There was and still is so much controversy around VegasPete and their relationship. It is one that is very complex. You have to look past how they started and look at how their love developed and more importantly why. There was alot of people saying it's stockholm syndrome, but it really isn't. Pete didn't fall for any of the parts that hurt him, he fell for Vegas, the real sensitive Vegas, the one Vegas only showed to Pete. Pete would never and will never condone anything that Vegas did to him and he will never say he agrees with that. He just couldnt deny his feelings for the real Vegas which is why that happened. Vegas is a hugely complex character and Bible being a rookie exceeded all expectations. Build portrayed Pete in a way that is distinct to him only, I genuinely could never imagine anyone else as Pete. BibleBuild by far outsold any other acting I have ever seen (I say this completely unbiasely). I am still sorta gutted they didn't start till the very end and I was worried they weren't going to develop well but I'm glad I was wrong.

KimChay: These were such a comfort couple. A sweet love.....to begin with. They started because of Kim being curious about Porsche so he used Chay as a way to get info. It then formed into something else. You could see the love he had for him but Kim being quite a mysterious person he didn't want to bring Chay into that world. He broke Chay's heart and thats basically it, that was the end of them in this series. We didn't get a reunion but we did get a badass fighting sequence from Kim protecting Chay and that was definitely a highlight of the series for me. I hope their story continues if we get a season 2, they deserve a happy ending.

TimeTayTem: I'm not even sure why I'm mentioning this throuple when we got little to no scenes of them alone let alone as a relationship. We had flirting in ep 3 between TimeTem and Tem being heartbroken further down the line but with no indication it was because of Time, we had nothing to go from with it. This has to be the biggest sike I've seen in a series. I was so hyped for them and we they were basically non-existent. Although I have to mention Tay looked ethereal everytime he was on the screen.....definitely wasted an opportunity for screen time with him. I'm still bitter about it.

Its definitely not a perfect series thats for sure but overall this is a really good series and it was definitely worth the wait. The production was second to none and the acting is by far the best I've ever seen. It's now my favorite series and I'm looking forward to see where it goes if there's a season 2.

(I hope I wasn't too bias but I'm going from my enjoyment of it)

Oh what to say about this. It's pure perfection. When I first heard of this I really wasn't too bothered, I had seen little clips from the 1st couple of episodes as they were airing and I didn't want to give it a chance to be honest, I didn't think I would like it. Little did I know it would become one of my favourite bls and the series I hold closest to my heart. I have rewatched it more times than I can count and the experience is the same everytime.

Park Seoham and Park Jaechan were destined to be casted in this bl thats for sure. Their chemistry is one of the major working gears of this series. Not only is the story one to be remembered but so is the acting. They did such an amazing job, I'm not going to spoil anything, just trust me and watch it, you won't regret it.

I have to add also that it led me to DKZ (Jaechan's kpop group) and KNK (Seoham's former kpop group) and theyre definitely worth listening too. There's a cameo in the 5th episode I believe of the DKZ members including the new members which were revealed on the series before they were actually revealed to fans

Okay so I am a big fan of DMD so I'm gonna be as unbiased as possible with this. I'm rating this based on my enjoyment of the series not necessarily the quality of it.

I really enjoyed watching this series. It was cute and fluffy at times and I adored the majority of the characters.

Now was there a need for 3 couples? No, not in my opinion. I loved each couple to a certain extent but I feel as though the 2nd and 3rd couple could have been done differently. I personally loved NuerSyn....BUT....I do feel as though their story was really unnecessary. A lot of it didn't make sense and due to them being a 3rd couple they started developing really slowly and then it just rushed them within the last 2 eps which I think they could have been given more depth. Granted I'm glad we did get them because TutorYim are adorable <3

The 2nd couple being YiDiao....yeah there isn't too much to say on them. Their story isn't really complete. Though I do think they should have had their own series (which is still a possibility) instead of being within CutiePie....purely because there is so much more to it and its a lot more complex than shown in this series. They are very toxic and I just felt myself wanting to protect Diao the whole time (esp in the earlier eps). The acting from MaxNat did sometimes feel robotic but overall they did a good job.

Onto the main couple LianKuea. I have to start by saying this is NuNew's first ever series and he did so well with what he was given. Zee has never dissapointed me before with his acting and he didn't dissapoint this time either. It's no secret ZeeNuNew have insane chemistry, you only have to look at them to know that and this series really did show that. I'll never fully understand their story though to be honest. Lian flat out said in the beginning he doesn't love Kuea but then knowing full well Kuea loved him, continue to pursue him into an engagement Kuea had decided he didn't want. Now I know he did that because he did really love him but sometimes there were parallels that contradicted that. I have to admit it was toxic at times, there was no trust from either side and they both kept secrets where they didn't need to be kept. Every episode had me screaming at one of them to tell the truth to the other but everything was kept secret till the very last episode....or was it? No it wasnt.....to add on to them not telling each other things, Lian knew all along about Kuea and his other life. Putting all that aside, the love they had for each other was more than genuine and that much we could see through their actions.

I have to emphasize the LGBTQ+ representation in this was incredible. The importance of consent was also such a major thing in this. I'm glad they focused on those points aswell as the story. There are alot of series that don't.

Last but not least the OST's. I can't say enough about NuNew's voice. INSANE. All of the OST's were beautiful and I'm really glad they chose to get the cast involved in them including the MV's.
