SOTUS is the series that almost always comes to my mind in terms of original BL's simply because it was the first BL that I ever watched. It's a series that has stood the test of time and has remained a favorite for a large number of viewers and fans, myself included.

The story line for SOTUS was very well thought out and I found the idea surrounding the acronym to be very interesting in and of itself. Plus, the separation of the main roles by class years provided an interesting dynamic that tested the boundaries of senior/junior relationships both in terms of romantic love and the general respect one has for their elders. In any case, the plot was easy to follow along with, giving the viewers a chance to focus more on the relationship aspects of the series.

Casting for SOTUS was another aspect that brought the series together so well. The two main leads appeared as extremely versatile actors and their performance made the characters all the more relatable. I could feel the genuine sincerity of their emotions on screen and that coupled with the musical score made for a wonderful viewing experience for me as part of the audience.

SOTUS is a series that I would definitely recommend for all viewers, especially if you're just getting into BL. What the series may lack in explicit intimacy (versus other BL's) it makes up for with it's sincere moments of affection and friendship between the entire cast of characters.
