Kissable Lips

i have some spoilers

okay so i did like it
spoilerssss
though the ending was not really good.....like yk the guy just dies at the end because he didn't want to drink choi's blood for the fear of hurting him...but mannnn Choi coul have used something to make a tiny cut on his finger then he could have offered his blood to junho this way junho wouldn't actually harm him right...but no Choi didn't do that i mean if it were me i would have at least tried something....but still I didn't like the ending but it's not like it was not suitable...I'm giving this a 9 but not because of the ending but because I think that everything was a little fast paced....like it it was not so fast paced i definitely would've given it a 10..

The actors did their best.

The pacing was terrible, I was lost so many times that I had to go back and re-watch a few episodes cause it always felt like I missed something?

This felt like one of those "plot what plot" fics but with nothing intriguing to keep you hooked. What remained of the plot was all over the place (I don't know who decided on them blue eyes cause yikes.)
The threw in characters I was supposed to pity but without enough background to pull at any emotions.

The actors though, they gave it their all. You could see they really tried their best to deliver.
Overall, so much potential, zero on execution.

Just bad filmmaking

I wanted to like it. The premise is interesting enough, it's a BL with vampires, and it has decent photography. Unfortunately, the absolute lack of pacing, setup, or cohesive story dooms it to failure. It's a BL, but it almost wholesale skips the "falling in love" part. You get a few seconds of filming an awkward school project, a few seconds playing basketball, and now they are star-crossed lovers. What?? How did that happen?

The editing is sloppy and plot devices are established and then seemingly abandoned out of forgetfulness. For example, a big point is made about the ultra-protective older brother who monitors his sibling's every move after past tragedy. But right after he actually catches his brother seemingly moments from being killed by a vampire (his greatest fear), he gives up on all that protectiveness after the slightest bit of protest and we essentially never see the character again. Uhh? Completely implausible. Why even include this in the plot if it wasn't going anywhere?

We see the President character several times, but she has essentially no impact on the plot at any time, except for calling up other vamp. We see her harvesting blood from herself, but it's never shown being used. Why was she even in this show? It feels like a few crucial scenes with her were omitted.

It's a small thing, but I don't understand the "hideout" room... it seems like a bedroom, it has personal possessions, it's private, they sleep together in there, but it's also seemingly open to the public and people can just barge in whenever.

Also, why is a vampire spending decades enrolled at a university posing as a student? I can suspend a lot of disbelief, but surely after his 20th year or so as a freshman, somebody would notice that he hasn't graduated (or aged)? And he really sits through film history 101 every day for decades on end just in the hopes he can get an occasional bit of student blood? He must be the world's preeminent expert on Mappelthorpe by now.

TL;DR: It's a sloppy show that lacks soul or exposition where stuff just happens for no reason and not much makes any sense. I kept rewinding thinking my brain or the stream stuttered as it lurched from scene to scene without any connection, but it's just bad filmmaking.

A vampire who can’t love a human being....

I felt that Kissable was an amazing drama with only it being 8 eps and with a duration of mainly 10 minutes because it was all told out. I seriously love both Seo Bins and Jiwoongs chemistry I think their a match made in heaven because even in 10 minutes they can show how they have so much chemistry. I do like the concept of vampires in BL dramas because it not very common at all I think this is the only actual vampire show that’s out and it was portrayed well. I do feel the story was kind of rushed because it started with Min Hyun tripping in the first episode and he started bleeding which made Jun Ho’s eyes turn blue because he’s a pure blood human. So Jun Ho got close to Min Hyun so he can drink his blood, but coming without thinking he will fall in love with Min Hyun but he did end up falling in love with him to the point that he would rather sacrifice his life than to kill Min Hyun by sucking his blood which I find as it’s like true love right there. I started bawling at the last episode because Jun Ho got to the point were he’s dying and his vision is so blurry that he can’t really see Min Hyun anymore and he was gonna give him his ring, but dropped it and couldn’t find it so he left the room with Min Hyun sleeping because he didn’t want him to see him disappear, but he still did and sadly died in his arms. I literally started crying when Min Hyun bursted out crying because he seemed so sad and depressed after that even when he went back to the room Jun Ho stayed in that was cleaned he was sad since all his memories with him are becoming faint, since he doesn’t have any photographs of his memories with him. To the point a year later he is still thinking about him, which is so sad because Jun Ho won’t come back. I really recommend Kissable Lips even though the ending is sad the show overall is pretty good.
