Behind Cut, hmmm more or like add Behind the Scenes for completing the story.

The story like any other Korean BL series(except a few) starts with the hate-to-love plot. Given the budget and the 14 minutes per episode time frame, it limits the continuity and the flow in the story, but they took it to next level. The series revolves around incomplete love triangles, mundane kisses, and story that the viewer has to put together to get the story. In my opinion Ep. 8 doesn't make any sense. The poor guy gave his best in trying modeling for the first time and the designer just cancels the show as anything. Omg, this is so disheartening. K-dramas are known for their story, like the deliverance of the stories are so good that they don't even need a second season. No hate just positive criticism as the plot of the story was actually good and interesting. Anyways I hope they do a good job next time.

Some of the actualities of an LGBTQ+ love-life.

I cannot emphasize how much, I am in a state of dilemma, on whether I should be sad about the ending of the story or rest on the bitter realization that not every love story would be a happy one. The story wholly describes how a person comes to terms with their sexuality, and how they develop feelings for the wrong person. I am so content with how Jia-Han had accepted being gay, starting from having a crush on Birdy, then experiencing jealousy when Birdy hangs with a girl to conditionally coming to his parents just to confess his feelings for him.

The life lesson argued between Jian and Father Oliver is the gold to be mined. "How is your love greater than mine ?" would be the epitome of subtle inference to the gender equality issues we face even today. This story made me realize how religion can a boon and a curse to your life. The old pedagogy of the church has derogatory effects in the community even today.

I was very personally hurt and disappointed by the story of Jia-Han, I think he is the one the story didn't do any justice to. I feel, that even in the end when Birdy subtly confessed his real feelings toward Jia-Han, he wasn't accepting it wholly. I was distraught to see Jia-Han still getting rejected for a drink by Birdy, after all these years.
In the end, a dream is portrayed of their younger versions joyfully singing the theme song, in the streets of Montreal.

So, in the end, there is this dreamy picture that we paint for ourselves of living with our loved ones, irrespective of gender, caste, or race. But in the end, we do realize that we are chained by the norms of society and religion, who dictate our life for us and paint our lives just in black and white.
