Yes, No, or Maybe?

I am so pissed off at this one. I can't even. It's a movie, rather than a show and I watched it with little/big dude -- until we got to the end and had to turn it off. But, let's start over. Yes, No, or Maybe? is a BL title. 
I've forgotten their names and I'm not going to look it up because it really did piss me off, but here goes: The one on the left is a tsundere type...kind of. He's a news broadcaster/presenter and he's on his absolute best behaviour at work and acts like a paragon of virtue. But, at home, he's a total slob and grouchy as all hell. The dude on the right is an artist/animator that first guy has to interview. He's openly bisexual whereas first dude apparently isn't before this. He's a nice guy.

Anyway, through reasons, they run into each other again when first dude is in his "downtime" mode and wearing a mask with messy hair and sloppy clothes. Through more reasons, he winds up helping out second dude and starts spending time at his place, even though all of it is in a very much "he doth protest too much" kind of way. 

Meanwhile, they also somewhat run into each other when he's in "nice" mode too. Second dude is kind of interested in both sides and, for some reason, does not realise they are the same dude. To be fair, he even talks in a different manner and never takes his mask off. 

First dude is obviously starting to crush on artist dude too, but he's too stubborn and too much of an ass to ever admit to anything. So, yadda yadda yadda, things happen and artist dude finally figures out that both the guys he likes are the same guy and first guy finally is honest to himself and goes to artist dude.

Ok, so all of that is well and good. Though the first dude is really quite an annoying asshole when he's in downtime mode--I mean, porcupines are less prickly--it was actually ok up to this point. The artist dude kind of made up for it because he was so even keeled and basically nice. A good guy.

Then they had to pull the BL forced relations trope nonsense at the very end and ruined it. Nice dude goes right from kissing the guy to immediately sexually assaulting him. It went from 0 to 100% in, like, two seconds AND it was so completely off brand for the character. This is not sexy. It is not good writing. It is absolute rubbishy shit and it ruined the whole thing.

So, am I glad I watched it? Nope. Would I watch it again? Hell to the no. We turned it off when the shitshow started and just looked at each other. WTF. I HATE it when they do crap like that. What is WRONG with them?? So, yeah, totally do not recommend this one unless you basically turn it off immediately after they confess to each other and pretend that's the end.
