Are you freaking kidding me?
WTF. This show is so messed up! It was deeply mediocre until the last twenty minutes, then it did something so incredibly bizarre and tacky that I can't fully wrap my head around it.
But before I get into that, the show itself was a waste of time overall. I watched it on double speed the whole way through and it still felt slow.
Minus half a point each for:
* evil female love obstacle
* weird character actions that never go anywhere
* plot points and potential conflicts introduced but never followed through, including one that came in the last 25 minutes of the show
* behavior between characters that doesn't make sense with previously established scenes
* "Sorry to keep you waiting. I have diarrhea." and all the other poop references/jokes
* slow as hell, awful pacing, lots of repetition
* weird dialogue, though it could just be a poor translation
* for no clear reason, they shoved in like fourteen random het relationship dramas in the last three episodes
* the lack of chemistry between any of the couples that actually got together
* intense music indicating something sketchy or scary is going to happen! then literally nothing happens
Positives:
* Both guys are gay from the start
* Emphasis on friendship, though I would have liked to have seen way more of it
* The whole ex-boyfriend thing. I like that it showed it made an impact in his life, and I appreciate it wrapping up without the guy just being cut out completely. It was far from perfect, but it was interesting. Plus I'm a fan of second love stories.
* Talk of mental health, though they didn't handle it as well as they could have
* Though I'm not big on 2.5 kid endings, it's so rare to see that sort of thing with BL, so I really liked that we go to see the future with their child. However, that doesn't end up mattering because of the ridiculous direction they take it
It was just a weird, boring, awkward show where nothing felt natural, and even the parts I liked were skewed. Plus there was some sort of reveal in episode 11 that made no sense because they didn't bother translating it. This is the official translation. I'm paying to watch this stupid show. The music was dull but inoffensive, and I actually liked the music choice for one cute little part, so I was generous in that rating.
The acting was so-so, and the story was basically non-existent. The rewatch value is -15, but I couldn't put that, so I had to give it a 1 since you can't go any lower.
However, I was still going to give the show a 5 for trying, until they decided to have the sister casually come and take their child from them, while the show acted like it's a mild inconvenience that they'll get over. The sister is a selfish cow, and the writing is SO bad to make it seem like this is okay in the slightest. It wasn't like they were babysitting for her. She gave up her child, then she just says, you know, I should start raising him now that you guys put in the hard work.
You can't just take a kid back like they were borrowing him. He's not a vacuum cleaner.
Since the narrative seems to think this is an okay thing to do, like parental bonds mean nothing and you can just trade kids like baseball cards, I'm giving it a 2, and I wish I'd never watched it.
