Close to You (2025)

LUXO

Estou gag com essa série (compilado).

Nesses últimos dias, me dediquei a assistir séries de baixo orçamento ou com capítulos curtos, e, de todas, essa foi a que mais me chamou atenção, porque ela grita potencial. As quatro histórias foram muito boas, mas duas gritaram tanto em química que se virassem uma série inteira eu não reclamaria por um segundo.

Na primeira, temos a típica história colegial entre dois colegas que agora vão para a faculdade, e ambos estão incertos quanto ao que seria o relacionamento deles, há algum sentimento ou ele é apenas meu amigo? Um clichê clássico. Na segunda, há uma espécie de loop temporal envolvendo alguém confessando seu amor. De primeira, achei que seria a pior, já que é muito difícil algo que envolva loop temporal dar certo no mundinho BL, mas até que se saiu muito bem. Na terceira e na mais triste de todas, vemos a história daquele quase romance, que aconteceu mais para um do que para o outro e que termina com um final infeliz. Na última, temos o clichê de amigos que se reencontram depois de um tempo para resolver assuntos inacabados.

Acho que deveríamos valorizar mais produções como essa. São atores que demonstram potencial para fazer algo completo mesmo.

4 Love stories in bite sized pieces!

This 8 episode BL anthology was short, sweet and honestly, pretty refreshing. Each story was wrapped up in two episodes, each around 20 minutes long. It wasn’t a lot of time, but it was enough to capture the vibe and give away those warm fuzzy feelings without dragging things out.

What stood out to me the most was the overall tone of the stories. There was no unnecessary drama, no toxic love triangles, and thankfully, no cheating plots. It was simply a collection of heartwarming short stories about love. It felt refreshing to watch a drama that stayed light throughout without resorting to overused dramatic twists. Somehow it gave just enough time to catch all the different vibes of romance.

The acting was genuinely good. Every actor brought a lot of heart to their roles and it made it super easy to get attached to the stories, even with the limited screen time.
The production quality seemed pretty solid too- clean visuals, nice editing and it all felt put together really well for a mini-series. The storytelling stayed focused and didn't try to do much, which made it a really easy watch.

Obviously with such a short runtime, there was not much room for deep character development or heavy emotional storylines. The focus was more on capturing those fleeting moments like the start of a crush, the awkward excitement of first feelings rather than diving deep into the characters' lives. For what it set out to do, I think it pulled it off really well.

Overall, I thought this was a very well done mini-series, charming, easy to watch, and honestly better than many of the bigger, mainstream Korean BL dramas out there. If you are looking for something light and do not mind short episodes, I would definitely recommend this!
