What and emotional rollercoaster

I loved every bit of this couple and their storyline. It was the most realistic one by far and it really weighed on all of your emotions. You can’t really blame Puth for not wanting the friends with benefits type of relationship anymore and it was nice seeing him explore the possibility of being with someone else, but you could tell he was very conflicted with ending things with kaeng. Kaeng as a character is what really got me though. You can see his obvious want to date puth and him changing and trying to be a person that puth would like and want to stay with as more than friends even if all that resulted was them sleeping together. You can really see his inner turmoil with not wanting to let puth go and wanting to be an actual couple. This episode definitely pulled me in and made me feel all of the emotions. I was crying because I was so heartbroken at how sad Kaeng was and him literally watching the person he’s in love with fall in love with someone else. I feel like I was on that emotionally journey with him. I was scared that he wasn’t going to get his happy ending but I’m glad Puth came around and realized he loved Kaeng too. This was truly a beautiful and heart wrenching story and I really enjoyed it. These will probably be the only 2 episodes out of this series that I would rewatch. The fact that it was only 2 episodes was surprising to me because it actually felt fine. It didn’t feel rushed, or forced at all. The way they went about unfolding and developing this relationship within 2 episodes was perfect. I have no issues at all. Great couple and great episodes.

An unmeasured highlight

Normally I don't write EP reviews, but with an anthology series, it makes sense and this episode simply deserves it. I started this episode without much expectation, as the other double episodes were mediocre at best. But this episode together with episode 9 is a roller coaster!Because it is realistic, modern and the emotional scenes are just heartbreaking. Even though it's a love triangle, all the characters are relatable and sympathetic.Also how sexuality is handled here, I like it very much, because it seems very natural and not so strange and cringey as in the other BLs. All in all, it is actually a further development in the BL genre, since here the typical clichés were dispensed with. Conclusion: Y-Destiny is far from being an outstanding series (at least not in the first 8 episodes) but these two hours are among the best the BL genre has to offer in 2021.

They grabbed my attention AND broke my heart

My rating is for both episode 9 and 10 since both contain the fifth couple's story.Puth and Kaeng are THE most intriguing couple in Y-Destiny. I know we have two more couples left, but I'm calling it now. I felt SO bad for Kaeng. By the end of the 9th episode he had already begun trying to change himself to make Puth interested in staying with him, even if it was only for sex. He just wanted to be around him, even if he couldn't date him (which it's clear he wanted to). He must have caught feelings long ago but had been holding back his confession. His love was incredibly tragic. He was practically letting Puth use him without him even realizing he was doing it.When I tell you I cried every time Kaeng cried. I really did. Puth and Kaeng's story really got to me.
