Poor dorama only watchable because of ep. length

I wrote a review for a really good dorama (MR. BRAIN - I gave it a 10) and now I'm reviewing the worst dorama I've ever seen so far.
So here we have a really BAD dorama, plenty of things you should never do! I'm sorry for all the shonen ai fans but you won't even get many of that. Vampires? Maybe six scenes in the whole dorama. Really bad acting, worsened by a really bad production (did they even know where to place music and how to cut scenes at all?) and writing (I still don't know what they tried to explain to me on the first 10 episodes; and characters presentation was way too forced and terribly bad done).
The characters: Let's see... We have a tormented child, Makoto, who's the only one that acts cool. Then we have Ageha, somewhat childish, and he's not that bad (sometimes). But then there's that Goukon guy who seems to have had too many surgeries to look like David Bowie (creepy) and whose acting is really exagerated ALWAYS. And finally Kiyoi, that tall guy who acts so cool, who is meant to be really mature because he's already lived many years... A guy that always has a totally fake smile, and he seems to be sleepy too, with those almost closed eyes, or is he maybe smelling something rotten by the looks of his face? And I'm not going to mention the secondary characters like Konoe-kun; what the hell happened to his hair? Is that really 'cool'?
And the plot? Almost all episodes talk about something quite stupid (like the garage selling) to explain a (theoretical) greater thing. From the start I had the feeling that there was no plot at all, and I don't really know how did I manage to get through all the show, but episode 12 was suprisingly interesting. It's a shame that (again) episode 13 was too badly written... But story was quite good though (only the last episodes!), although too tipical.
So I'm giving it a 2 because I really want to think that they tried their best doing this show, and because I had never seen a shonen ai dorama and I'm not sure if this was the first one. And my conclusion is that, from time to time, it is good to watch a really bad dorama to be able to see the quality of other doramas.
