pretty nice story but I thought we'd get more!! ngl, I was frustrated w kyesang relentlessly saying he's not gay. like sis, maybe you're bi?? but!! then again, y'all gotta acknowledge the fact that this is set in Korea, a country in which there's still a lot of stigma in regards to the lgbtqia+. there's a lot of ignorance in south-east Asian countries and furthermore from what I've seen, there's more awareness on homosexuality than bisexuality, amongst the general public. so it's not entirely impossible for the characters, especially Kyesang and the majority of his friends who hadn't been exposed to the lgbt+, community to be ignorant. I get how this can be frustrating from a Western standpoint, but you gotta take into account that there's a lot of cultural difference.
also, there seems to be a lot of divided opinions on the story and development but I honestly rly liked it. I typically hate the whole straight to gay trope bc it's so stupid and perpetuates a lot of misconceptions. but, I can tolerate it in this simply bc Kyesang is never toxic when exploring his sexuality and doesn't pull the usual "omg, how dare you seduce me and turn me gay!!" nonsense. ig why y'all are frustrated by Kyesang but you gotta take into account that he's clearly just ignorant, especially as he lives in such a conservative country. I like to think that as he dates Minsik and learns more abt his sexuality. maybe homeboi would realise he's prolly bi.
anyway, this is so long. I just wanted to say that I personally found the story pretty good and I liked the characters. I just kinda wished we had more, since the ending felt abrupt.
