Why You… Y Me? is so underated. It so good, the downside BL is side story. the upside, there is two BL couple! Music is good, pacing is good, acting is good. I fall with MC altough it was not BL. This scene is gold!

I am contemplating watching it for MeanPlan crumbs and because I have literally nothing else to watch. BUT the side story BL thing just makes me wary cause if the FL is a fujoshi character, idk how much I vibe with it. The only show that sold me on this fujoshi thing was The Shipper.

IMO WYYM is a different thing than the Shipper. Thats why i said this isn't BL. Heck, it just randomly show up in my YT recomends. I just watch e1 part 1 without without any expectation.

The vibe is almost just like regular mainstream K webdrama. The quality, te pacing, the plot, music, the comedy and the punch line, their acting quality. Just a little spoiler I personally feel that the fujoshi thing is not that deep too. Yes it was really the main selling point. But up until ep5 it was doesn't affect the main plot too much. Where as on the Shipper, fujoshi is the main drive of its plot.

But i don't guarante everything i've said, since this drama still on episode 5.🤣
