I don't get the hate

I almost didn't watch this because the hate for this show was immense, but curiosity got the best of me and I'm honestly confused.
There were issues with this series for sure, but for so many people to say it was the worst BL they've seen.. I'm just confused.
I thought the actors did a great job, I fell for JM.. he's gorgeous and what a voice. I know a lot of people have issues with Mew but I liked the way he portrayed his character, he was guarded and aloof but had a lot of love for people close to him.
I also really enjoyed the dual language aspect.
There were fun moments and sad moments and moments I wanted to scream at the producer but I really enjoyed watching it.
I didn't find it slow, I liked getting to know the characters, I do wish there was more of the two leads together though.
I seem to be in the minority that enjoyed this, but it's an easy watch and I'll probably watch it again.

Special moments

This wasn't perfect, I found the soundtrack very odd and the 2nd couple didn't get enough screen time. The story wasn't very original and there were parts that were drawn out and didn't make sense..
BUT
There was something special about this drama. The cast, I thought, were great. Fluke and Junior had amazing chemistry and I would really love to see them in another BL together. Dr Ji was a fiesty sweetheart and I fell in love with him from the start, he was just gorgeous.
The biggest reason for a higher score than I would have normally given it was that there were some really special moments. They were heartfelt and artistic and had me clutching my chest. The emotions portrayed were delivered beautifully. The NC scenes had me feeling wistful.
I would rewatch and I encourage most people to give it a chance.

not as bad as people make out

This is the first review I've written on here and I'm going to keep it pretty short, for all of our sakes, ha!
I always read reviews before starting a series, it's a terrible habit and it ruins a lot for me, but I can't not, so I knew going in that a majority of watchers didn't enjoy this series for a variety of reasons.
I watched it anyway, and although it's not going to win any awards I found it enjoyable and sincere.
Yes there is a meddling ex and a girl with interest, there are communication problems and lack of chemistry at times but I found that this all became what I liked about it.
The side characters were interesting and had some purpose and when the girl got rejected she moved on, something I appreciate.
The chemistry and physicality was stilted between Sakae and Soga but I think that made their relationship stand apart from the the one with the ex. Soga was navigating having feelings for a man and Sakae was opening himself up again after being hurt. I actually would have disliked it if they'd fallen into it all easily.
Also the chemistry really picked up in the last few episodes and they were adorable together.
I do think people should give this a watch with no expectations based on what they want it to be and just take it for what it is.

Special mentions; the actor that play Sakae is stunning, I'd love to see him in more
The OST is great

Apologies I did not in face keep this short.

Taiwanese BLs are my favourite

Of the three, Obsessed is what gave it the higher score, as on its own I'd give it a 9. Fair warning the characters are a little toxic but the story and acting were incredible. I really fell in love with Teddy Ren and was so sad to see he didn't do anything else after this.
All three had interesting and unique stories and I'm glad I watched them, Taiwanese BLs just hit different for me.
There were a few familiar faces, particularly the guy from Beloved In House: I Do I liked his role in the first installment although until the ending I did think it was going to disappoint me.. it didn't.
For being 7 years old I think they aged well and recommend them.
