Forgettable too simple plot, pornographic sex scenes, non consent problems

The first 2 episodes are awful and present the usual problems so many BLs have with consent. If you are triggeretd by sexual harassment I would strongly recommend to NOT watch it. Pretty privilege is also very real, if the same things Payu did were done by an old, unattractive man, people would petition to ban the show, but because he is tall, young and handsome all of a sudden those things are forgiven. What things am I talking about? Rain said clearly and explicitly NO, many times and Payu did not stop. Payu presented several lame excuses such as ''you threw yourself at me'', ''you have to pay me for fixing your car'' (for the record Rain never asked him to fix it and even if he did, it was not his right to decide that he wants to be paid with sexual favors) and there are fetishistic elements as well, with Payu saying ''I bought you underwear and I can tell your size''. First of all, underwear size has to do with one's WAIST, not size of genitals and second, imagine an old, unattractive man saying ''I bought you underwear'' to someone who has told them no 100 times, how creepy would that be?

There is no smooth transition to the feelings of the protagonists. Rain goes from ''no, I don't want to do anything sexual with you'', to ''I am going to make you fall in love with me because you call me stupid'', to stalking and showing up at Payu's garage work place uninvited to being a pornstar saying ''I know that you like riding bikes but this is also riding '' (when he is on top of Payu in the pornographic scenes). Go figure.

Payu starts as a sexual predator who won't take no for an answer, to a paternal figure concerned about Rain's failing grades because he is too busy stalking Payu to make him fall in love, to a loving boyfriend? And all that within what? Weeks?

Has the author ever had an actual relationship or at least observe how feelings develop between humans, because last time I checked it DOES NOT happen this way.

The sex scenes exceed Cutie Pie when it comes to pornography and I never expected to write this and NOT in a good way, it is softcore porn at this point accompanied with porn dialogue and it doesn't match the shy, inexperienced personality that Rain is supposed to have.

I could write about the other couples but I won't because they are so bland and boring and it's amazing how I watched the latest episode a few days ago and already my memory is hazy and I have forgotten their interactions.

Overall the plot is too simple, the porn is too much, the character development makes no sense (or it doesn't exist) and the show again promotes several dangerous and wrong ideas and romanticizes sexual harassment, stalking, codependency, love addiction and a bunch of other cancerous behaviors.

The actors are good looking and their acting is decent and there has been monetary investment in the production and IT ALL GOES TO WASTE BECAUSE OF THE AWFUL STORYLINE!

HIRE A GODDAMN TALENTED WRITER AND FIND A DECENT SCRIPT! And less porn. A bl should be 80% plot-20 % kiss/sex scenes, if I wanted to watch porn dialogues/scenes with no plot, I know the right places to go.

One last note: I feel that BL (similar to porn) is escalating rapidly. Not long ago we watched Love by chance that had proper balance, then we moved on to CutiePie tongue kissing, now we have Rain bragging about his riding...what comes in a couple of years? Full frontal nudity and actual sex without any plot? Just wondering.
