Duas Pessoas que Não Podem se Apaixonar

This series has a great representation for aromantic and asexual people: it explains the terminology as well as points out the common struggles that they face in a society that places too much emphasis on romance. The sense of community and hope is shown by the fact that the main characters gradually find more support, like-minded people and an unexpected ally.

With beautiful visuals and a vibe that's relaxing but isn't slow, this show warms the hearts of those who can personally relate to the main characters, while providing a lesson to the ones who would like to learn more about these identities.

This might be the first drama I've watched with aromantic and/or asexual representation in it, and it's surprisingly addressed really well in the show. It explores the struggles of the aroace community without the story being too heavy, and the characters generally remain quite upbeat throughout the show. As the leads gradually figure things out and gain support from those around them, the show also shows us the varying opinions people have on love and their reasons for romantic relationships. I liked how in the end, for all the characters, it's really about understanding yourself and making peace with yourself. A healing and heartwarming drama, I really enjoyed this one a lot.
