Beautiful story that is a must watch

First of all, let me address this, YES this series does have more than expected cringe scenes but there is a lot (A LOT) more than just that.

The show went beyond my expectations of it being just another university BL drama. The friendship and the communication (especially between the couples) is something not seen in other BLs. There is literally no misunderstanding that would cause any of the couples to break up.

There are honestly many good things from the show. The friendship was really inspiring. The friend group of 4, always being there for each other reminded me of the friend group from UWMA where they encourage each other in their romantic pursuits and just be there for each other emotionally. The best thing was that each friend was shown the support and not just Toh and Jao. Daisy is my favorite though.

Toh has such a wild imagination which is also expected when it is your first love, you want to experience it all. Even though some scenes are cringe, they are still hilarious af. Yes, making a collection of all the things that your crush has touched is weird. But in his mind, this was the only way he could be close with Nuea as he never expected his love to also love him back. Everyone has a weird hobby or habit and this was his which just made him just like any other person in that sense. His friends accepted him and supported him in some of his collections and stopped him as well when it got too much. True friendship right there. (Really wish I could have supportive friends like these as well).

Also, loved how they portrayed the NC scenes as well. Loved how Nuea tried to let Toh top first even though he wasn't as compliant then but then revisited the topic in the last episode breaking the stereotype that it needs to be only one way for the couple throughout their lives.

Not to forget the inclusivity. The show had it all, gay couples, a lesbian couple, a straight couple, and a couple where one individual is a transgender woman. Each couple with their own issues that they work through, grow together and form a stronger bond. I do wish there could have been more backstory or relationship development shown between the lesbian couple but they were just supporting characters. Also, wish that there was more screentime for TouchDaisy as they made a really good pair. Touch's smile when looking at Daisy was beautiful. Everyone deserves a lover who would look at you the way he looked at his partner Daisy. The actor truly has a beautiful and attractive smile.

Overall, it is a great story. I feel really bad for the people who left it halfway through just because of a little bit of cringe. They need to watch the whole thing to see the true beauty and how this story addresses the major topics in a relationship as well as the LGBTQ+ community. Feminine gays deserve love and a beautiful love story. They need more representation and should not be just cast as comic relief characters.
