Black and White Is Real (2025)

For a vertical BL, this isn't bad at all.

If you watched "fight for you" you'll probably be familiar with the cast, and if you liked it, then you can probably expect something similar here.

They serve chemistry on a plate, but same with FFY, the story is the weakest thing in the show.

Let me just explain the whole thing since there are many confused comments about it, the story is about two idols/actors who are in different agencies and both their managers are at odds, so they start on the wrong foot then they are cast in a short movie and then their story begins, so in the show they are making a movie together.

The first 1-6 episodes are the movie they are cast in, so the first 6 eps are the movie within the drama itself, I don't understand why they opted to show the movie first, they should have added those 6 eps last, for us to see the results of their work at the end.
Instead we got invested in the movie and got confused when ep7 started.

From Ep7 onwards, that's the beginning of the real vertical drama, I hope this point is cleared up.

Now the story of the drama itself parallels with the movie they were making, same idea.

Is the story great? Not really, repeated and expected, it won't blow your mind away or anything, more like a comfort drama.
The two leads and the managers too have good chemistry, the managers story isn't well developed, but it was ok.

For a vertical drama, this was actually good, for a BL, just lower your expectations. So if you are watching for the cast like me, you will enjoy it, it's good for passing time, if you are looking for a proper drama, then this isn't for you.

Overall enjoyable and good when you have a couple of hours to waste~~
