Wrong Number (2025)

accidental call meant to be?

Overall: I was happy that the series was focused on the leads but then a third character took up too much time in the finale. 4 episodes about 10 minutes each. Aired on Sukfilm's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYfaogVGCvwSn_EksTEo-gNZJbq4wMIVb&si=ZTVhgoz20VrTZQUS (members have more/longer kissing scenes and apparently a short scene at the end of the finale) The production company Sukfilm has also made: Blue Boys, Seoul Blues, Never Fair

Content Warnings: threatened suicide, non/dub con kiss

What I Liked
- intro
- the flashback made his response in episode 1 make sense
- acting/visuals
- acknowledged that they just met, end of episode 4 was nice (just needed more screen time for them)

Room For Improvement
- that major things kept happening when one was very drunk
- a character took up way too much time in the finale
- cliche a character lied and another character walked away/misunderstood (though at least it seemed to be cleared up fairly soon)
- abrupt ending

That was really good

I didn't think I would like this, but was very well-written with fairly well-realized characters for such a short flim. Woo-Tae is an unusual character - sweet and conflict avoidant without being weak - far from it. I loved his honesty, including with himself.

Also, points for the total absence of homophobia, which is unusual for a KBL - by which I mean the very story and the way it's told, not the inclusion of homophobia as a plot element.

I could have done with fewer BL tropes, which I think weakened the overall effect, but almost everything about this is strong, and you will likely walk away from it feeling good. There aren't any real kisses in it, but i was fine with that - it wouldn't have made sense for where the characters are.
