This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...
Davi is a young man who has been raised in Sao Paolo with his mother. This year for holidays he is visiting his father whom he hasn't seen in a long time in a small town. Davi soon meets young Theo, a boy who was raised like a son by his father after his parents passed away. Despite initially appearing to be different, the two end up getting closer, leading Theo to question his feelings. During the time they live together, the two discover themselves in love, at the same time that they need to deal with the differences between young people from the countryside and those from a big city. They kiss a couple of times. Davi is dealing with a break up with his ex but these kisses confuse Theo even more especially since he lives in a small town and he worries that people will judge him. Thankfully, Davi's father, the next door neighbor and others around him gives Theo the courage to accept who he is and finally propose Davi to date.
The storyline is basic where a big town boy falls for a small town simpleton (and a very hot guy IMO). As a character Davis brattiness is at another level and his character is very unlikeable. In contrast Theo is loving and caring. I guess the idea was to show how the opposites attract each other. 3 episodes end with them both kissing each other but they never talk about it. Davi is confused whether he really likes Theo or not, meanwhile Theo worries that Davi will son go back to the big city and he will be left alone. The doctor father and the neighbor lady are still at least mature folks. The show could easily have been a short film. Certain scenes are stretched out of r no reason. The acting from everyone was just average and production quality was basic with most of it feeling that it was just shot at home. The only good thing about the show was Theo was a very handsome young man. Davi was bad. And the father acted decent. Other than that, the show can easily be finished off with one hand firmly pressed on fast forward button. There is absolutely nothing here that you haven't seen thousands of times before. (2.5/10)
