As a trans guy Imma have to say.
1. This is a pretty interesting way to view gender Dysphoria. Like if we consider the transformation as less literally turning into a girl as much as how gender Dysphoria feels it's not all the time but it's pretty often. Sometimes it's just adapting to how others see you and other times it's working against that, but it's generally exhausting.
2. If this was about hormones, then the doctor should have put him on Testosterone
3. Also Semen doesn't contain Testosterone (or at least enough to be significant so no, sex is not free hrt) but I guess we need to have a dumb smut reason for the gender changes...but I'm not complaining
4. If that pill existed
As someone who's genderfluid, I WISH I had that pill. It'd be so awesome to go from male to female, back and forth
As much as I want to see the dad get his ass handed to him. I love that he's there and that the dad being there brings out the worst qualities in the characters. Like Sohan's avoidant attachment style and Sihwa's lack of knowledge on emotions and relationships. I love how we already lightly established the character flaws in the first season then fleshed it out with more backstory and a greater look at how these characters work. We don't just get the random guy next door who looks around the corner with the freaking grimace smile everytime he leaves the main character's view. You get the main character's dad who isn't maniacally laughing every five minutes but in some sense genuinely concerned about his son in his own fucked up way. Also the characters each have their own problems that are individual to them not emblematic of the generic kink that is "forbidden love" that a lot of yaoi's fall into. The enemy isn't that their love is wrong or forbidden but that they're people and people fuck up. Also the way they weave exposition and emotions into the sex scene is quite beautiful. Like each sex scene is kinda unique, used to build the relationship between Sihwa and Sohan and the characters that they are with each other especially with the last sex scene which honestly was chef's kiss. But it was Sohan's way of showing that he still cared, and a way to have fun without his asshole of a father. Also I can't wait until Gabin has his arc. And this bitch be cookin and I'm so ready to eat I'm in literal pain fr.
