So bad it’s good! And sometimes it’s genuinely good

Let me explain the rating please

This show had a very specific brand of humor. It’s very campy, it’s trashy and intentionally hilariously bad. You remember how Shyamalan tried to recreate a b-movie feeling with “The Happening”? Well, Y Destiny gave me a similar vibe - from its campy acting to its hilarious dialogues.

They’re mostly feel-good stories, usually not to be taken seriously. The show reminded me a little of YYY in a sense that it’s funny and ridiculous but also has a very heart-warming a genuine message at the heart of it.

There’re seven different couples with seven different stories. It’s a bit hard for me to rate them individually as they all had a similar vibe. I’m going to say that the first story (Tue and Ake) felt uneven in its execution if compared to other stories. It didn’t start out as obviously campy as the others but it very suddenly shifted gears right in the middle. It became incredibly ridiculous and senseless and this sudden change caught me off guard. I had a hard time adjusting and even contemplated dropping it until it hit me that the change was deliberate, so I buckled up for the ride and in the end I had a great time! I just wished they didn’t make the first ep to be so deceptively “normal” in the first half of its runtime lol This storys cinematography and editing was inferior to the other episodes though.
A shout out to episodes 9/10 bc it’s many people’s favorites (mine too!). It had some campiness for sure but it was unironically entertaining. Great chemistry, effortless acting and a comparatively unique storyline in a BL. Even if you don’t enjoy trashy humor you might still want to check this one out.
Talay, Yoon and Perth’s story was a bit different as it was permeated by sadness and melancholy. I personally think they should’ve given them a less tragic story. All three actors are decent and they can pull off this specific type of trashy humor very well (like Bruce Campbell). Especially Talay and Yoon (both did a great job on yyy and it’s sequel) and Perth was great in my Engineer and let’s be honest, that show was kinda campy as well. My point is that they didn’t utilize these three to their full capabilities. I did laught my ass off at the cinema scene though!

The last episode is probably my favourite. It didn’t feel dragged out like most others did and it was nice to see all the couples being domestic and just all having fun together. I even got a little emotional at the end when they were all thanking each other. It felt familiar in a way, like when you’re having a wonderful time and just want this moment to continue forever. Saying goodbye to this series felt like saying goodbye to a good friend. It’s a bittersweet feeling.

Last thing I want to say is that this show did a phenomenal job in utilizing colors in each story and did great with the characters‘ styling choices. The uses of symbolisms were great as well and the op song is super catchy and never fails to put me in a good mood!

My very subjective rating of 10/10 for the enjoyment I got!
