reviews_and_ramblings | Only Friends (2023)

Only Friends was the third bl series I saw, and I think it set a standard: I like imperfect characters. Truth be told there is no one in this drama that pass the test as good (in the meaning of positive role), they are all flawed, even Mew. They are all basically unhealthy relationships that need to find a balance to let their protagonists grew within it instead of being destroyed by it. Mew and Top is apparently the most sane of them, but I found the mean streak of Mew quite interesting, and do not let forget that Top is a cheater, a big NO NO in a relationship for me. But still I wanted for them to find a way to work together. Actually, my preferred couple is Sand and Ray, and they grew on me surpassing my interest for Mew and Top. Nick and Boston is also good but maybe too much toxic. HEA (mostly). You can see it on Youtube. Heat Level: 5/6.

Heat Level:

1/6: glances, caress, hugs, no kisses

2/6: kisses, closed mouth or camera angles

3/6: full kisses, clothes on

4/6: full kisses, some clothes off, hands above the waist, pants stay on

5/6: most clothes off, they have sex, but it’s masked, no sexy sounds

6/6: full nudity mostly hidden by camera angles, they have sex, sexy sounds
