Back in a time when BL series showcased the discovery of love between two boys, "Together with Me" stands out as a perfect example, thanks to MaxTul's unmatched chemistry and great acting, making them true OGs of BL.

The series started off with a powerful bang. While some fans believe newer BL series like KinnPorsche and Love in the Air brought sexiness, it's the older BL fans who appreciate the essence of pure love and smexiness in this series.

The show includes familiar tropes like female characters and toxic relationships, but it also introduces positive elements like Yahweh's character. One of my favorite tropes, "friends to lovers," adds depth to the story. However, there are some disturbingly inappropriate relationships in the series. And the weirdly homophobic sister. Despite that, the series addresses various issues much better than the glossed-over nonsensical BLs we often see today.

If you seek a meaningful BL series without fluffy nonsense, this is the one to watch. There's also a semi-prequel called "Bad Romance" and a sequel titled "Together With Me: The Next Chapter," which delve into their adult lives after graduation. It's a more realistic portrayal of boys love compared to "What Our Skyy 2: My School President," which failed to capture the essence of true BL.
