Hi Blue!
Your analysis was an absolute pleasure to read. This was such a well‑crafted comparison! 🩵💙
I recently watched both dramas, and I couldn’t agree more with the way you articulate the difference between a “story‑first” BL and a “BL‑first” drama.
You captured exactly what makes Hi, by My Luck feel richer and more cohesive, and why Love Me if You Swear remains surface‑level yet still a bit (though personally, not that much) enjoyable.
Your breakdown of character arcs, stakes, and romance development was spot‑on. Thank you for putting into words what I had only felt while watching! 🙏🏻
PS: I actually quite enjoyed the virtual fortune‑teller arc in Hi, by My Luck. I found it original and fun — but hey, that’s just me. 😉
