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.

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 ...
Kiss x Kiss x Kiss: As the name suggests, this show is all about kissing. It's not a drama or show or anything, just literally scenarios where the characters find themselves kissing. There have been about 4 different installments of the series, I suppose so far after the initial one. The stories in first few seasons last barely 5-7 minutes where you get a few minutes to establish the characters and the story and finally you get a passionate extended kissing scene. In the latest installment, the stories have grown longer, where we do get to see a little more depth to the characters but eventually, the story always ends up with some very passionate kissing. Here as part of this post, I am reviewing only the BL episodes of individual seasons.

The show gives you what you expect. I think the makers received some feedback and hence in the latest installment form last year, they gave little more focus on developing the characters further. Thankfully I watched only BL episodes, but even with that, there is only so much of kissing scenes you can watch. (5/10)
