Had potential but too short…
I liked the storyline and the acting was amazing for it being a short film. But the ending made me upset because I hate cliffhangers especially when it seems like there should be more. The beginning was amazing and I think the actors compliment each other. But as it went on, it starts to go downhill making me not really like the ending… I feel like they should’ve made the episodes longer so there is more depth. Hopefully there is a continuation of this show but if there isn’t, then hopefully we see another shows with the actors!!Was this review helpful to you?
angsty, short, riveting
The premise itself is pretty simple and it's a very small production however, something about this is just riveting. The acting and chemistry is great. Sometimes the tone in low budget shows can be wonky but I think this was directed really well. Be warned, the ending doesn't feel like a ending so hopefully they release a season 2 soon.Was this review helpful to you?

A Short Web Series Worth Watching!
“Blue Boys” is a short and earnest portrayal of a couple falling in love while facing challenges to their relationship.Jaemin (Choi Seungjin) meets his old high school classmate Nami (Lee Hoorim) after years. They have a one-night stand, which leads to something more than their feelings develop for each other. However, they face obstacles to their relationship both from other people, such as a jealous acquaintance who wants Nami for herself, and from their own miscommunication.
“Blue Boys” ended up being quite an entertaining watch for me, especially the first part, which introduces Jaemin and Nami’s relationship up until the point of the first major conflict in their relationship. The issue there stemmed from their very different perspectives, to the job market, and to life in general. Nami has a carefree outlook on life, while Jaemin is a lot more reserved and conscious of what others would think of them. It is ultimately this that is exploited by Sori (Lee Sooha), an acquaintance of Nami’s, to try to break them up.

In short: beauty in power saving mode.
I didn't find a mistake there, everything fit as it should. In the beginning, two actors in their twenties who look even younger and lo and behold, one is 27 and the other is 32. I enjoy the intimate intimate concept if done well and the sing-along Korean and all enhanced by the soft background music and slow non-violent processing, even though you iced teas, which no character ever even touched ... and when the fourth character - the handsome prince - came in the second half, it was swept away, however it might have ended. I guess I'm different (yes, I am), I just have a different opinion than most on IMDb and MDL.Was this review helpful to you?
Rewatched, Here Are My Thoughts
Ok so I rewatched this show after paying for the membership the channel that created this small show has. It gives me access to uncut versions of all their videos, and after watching this part uncut, here are my thoughts.It’s honestly not much different with the membership, yes you get to see them kiss for longer periods of time and it’s more heart throbbing but the plot is lacking so much in so many ways that having them kiss for a minute longer doesn’t do much of a difference in enjoyment. I can say confidently that if this show had ended with only Pt.1 I would’ve rated it super low. Now as I write this review I haven’t watched Pt.2, so I can’t speak much about the overall rating and how much I enjoyed overall. But so far based on Pt.1, with uncut scenes, my rating is 7. I rated it a 6.5 before when it had come out but I think the longer scenes definitely make the ratings go a bit higher but not too high. So 7 is a perfect score for this part.

Romance sur le pouce
L’histoire s’intéresse à Choi Jae Min, dépassé par sa recherche d’emploi infructueuse, et Kim Nam Yi, un rédacteur. Le scénario se concentre sur l’essentiel. À savoir, la difficulté de trouver un travail une fois son diplôme en poche et sa romance.Malgré un petit budget, de nombreux créateurs de contenus livrent un travail exceptionnel. Un travail qui n’a rien a envier aux plus onéreux. C’est également le cas pour Sukfilm qui parvient à créer l’illusion jusqu’au bout.
Avec les deux parties disponibles, la perception du projet dans son ensemble est différente. Personnellement, j’ai regardé au rythme de la diffusion. La direction de l’intrigue m’a surprise sur sa première partie. D’autant plus, qu’à ce moment, il n’y avait pas d’annonce d’une suite. Les deux parties sont complémentaires, et j’imagine que la découvrir en une seule fois sera moins abrupte. L’intimité est également au cœur de l’histoire avec un niveau élevé de baisers et de skinship. Ce qui est également un signe de Sukfilm, car tous les projets en contiennent.
En bref, Blue Boys est un webdrama de deux parties de quatre épisodes chacun. Pourtant, il se suffit pour en apprécier ses grandes lignes. Certes, le jeu d’acteur est un peu maladroit, mais il n’en reste pas moins réaliste avec une sympathique BO et de beaux baisers.

Nem todo final é feliz
Um começo ótimo para o final péssimoNo geral: fiquei realmente impressionado com o primeiro episódio e a primeira metade do segundo episódio. Infelizmente, a escrita clichê realmente decepciona.
Pontos que considero positivo:
- Comunicação entre os atores
- A forma indireta de dizer inicialmente que não tinha dinheiro, usou pistas de contexto
- Comunicação clara no início do episódio 2
- Intimidade
O que deveria ter sido melhor:
- Os personagens começaram a fazer coisas "porque o escritor disse" no episódio 2, por que ele escreveria isso ao lado do outro cara? por que de repente os sentimentos mudaram e ele correu para encontrá-lo? ele apenas deixou a tela do telefone visível na mesa quando saiu, etc.
- Personagens femininas clichês como antagonistas potenciais/reais
- Esta é obviamente uma produção independente, mas acho que eles poderiam ter colaborado com uma cafeteria para conseguir uma locação gratuita em troca de nomeá-los como patrocinadores/publicidade).
- O por fim, esse final foi tão decepcionante e insatisfatório.

A primeira parte do drama só tem 4 episódios de aproximadamente 10 minutos cada, assim como a segunda parte. A história não é nada mirabolante, é apenas duas pessoas se reencontrando, falando sobre suas frustrações perante a vida adulta e que acabam se conectando. A atuação me surpreendeu porque há alguns dramas curtos sul coreanos que não a intensidade no beijo dos atores, mas neste a química está latente, os beijos são ótimos, só há um excesso de suspiros que nem sempre parecia encaixar com a cena mostrada, mas nada que deixasse tal momento falso.
Mas infelizmente a história peca ao usar o clichê de uma mulher interferindo, eu xinguei a personagem So Ri como nunca, porque eu acho muito patético esse tipo de personagem que se acha superior e nunca nem teve oportunidade de estar com aquela pessoa.
Gostei do final porque se encaixou completamente na vivência do personagem Jae Min

Chicos tristes
La actuación es buena y el guion no está para nada mal. Quizá otra historia sobre la tristeza del vínculo, pero que pone en el centro la importancia de la comunicación para con la gente que nos importa. No da mucho de sí por su corta duración, pero mantiene unos estándares correctos. Dan ganas de ver la continuación.Lo único que me preocupa es la dinámica de Sukfilm de poner detrás de muros de pago carísimos el contenido NC. Simplemente, me parece una estrategia extraña. Pero entiendo que es la única forma que han encontrado para intentar hacer rentable la producción de BL.
