Lost in Kyoto (2025)

Just Lost...

The whole premise of this 4 episode BL drama was literally drama within a drama. Sounds interesting but the execution was messy and ultimately not satisfying. Maybe short run time (every ep is about 10 min) is partly to blame.

Now it starts on an "artsy" and dramatic note but the concept ended up being confusing than clever. The vibes at the start was nice, even though the production was small.
But then nothing happens for first 2 episodes... No emotional or any substantial progress. And just when you think something is gonna happen, they pull the most overused move ever, throwing in a random female character to stir drama.
The ending was chaotic but somehow satisfying and the strongest part of it all.

Acting wise, it was average at its best. Somehow I couldn't feel the chemistry between the actors. There were moments here and there with some good kisses but it was all too hazy to leave an impression.

Overall, this is my 3rd drama with this production and i feel this was the weakest of the bunch.
Will I recommend this ? For the quality and story, no. I would rather recommend Trapped in Osaka and A sketchy Job from the same company.
But if you still want to support them, sure. Just don't go in expecting too much! :)
