After watching an episode, I found it interesting: relaxed, the characters are cute, and the drama is appropriate. After watching one season, I think it's too much like life: parents with problems, young people who can't handle their private life, gays who are mean-spirited, small circle of friends, easy and weightless feelings, troubles will always come unexpectedly come out.
Josh has been in college for five years and hasn't graduated yet, but he no longer lives with his parents, and lives with friends...in a small apartment bought by his rich dad. One day Josh's girlfriend broke up and said he should come out. When Josh was still struggling with himself, he met a handsome and thoughtful gay and was broken. The apartment they live in is small, the kitchen utensils are too small to hang up, and there are "Chinese-style" cartoon stickers on the tiles. The long-term ones are Josh and Fa Xiao, who can't handle their private life. Their boyfriend/girlfriend sometimes comes to live there, and Josh's ex-girlfriend's current best friend also occasionally comes to borrow it. Much of the story takes place in this small, old apartment. Their lives are sometimes easy and fun, and sometimes troublesome. They have their own fun, they don't have big pursuits, they're a bit of a waste, and they're always looking for love. Isn't that what we see in the lives of many people?
The reason I can't stop watching this show is that it's warm and funny, the characters are cute, and it's real at the same time, not mindless to make you laugh. For example, Josh's mother has bipolar disorder, and her emotions are always exaggerated, creating a lot of laughs. But she also tried suicide once. The doctor suggested someone to live with her mother. Josh said frustratedly, "I can't even take care of myself", and then moved back to her mother's place. Even Josh's newest boyfriend was a patient from his mother's mental hospital.
Everyone in it is not perfect. Josh's father is always nagging, but he is always concerned about his ex-wife's illness. The incumbent of Josh's father, a eloquent Asian woman, complains about Josh's father all the time, but is very warm-hearted. The roommate is a young boy whom Josh has known for more than ten years, but he doesn't say no to any girl, and his private life is messed up. As for Josh, he loves to cook and make desserts. He is not good-looking and looks like a 50-year-old baby (he said it in the play, which is apt and irrefutable). The adjustment is very fast to meet the next paragraph. But I love him so much that I want to be friends with him. (Josh is also the screenwriter of this play, I can see that he has made up so many boyfriends to take advantage of himself)
Life, relationships, family and friendship are always imperfect, even himself is imperfect, and they also have good and irreplaceable The place.
Please like me, I'm not perfect, but still cute.
