Happy Ending Romance (2022)
has anyone seen this KBL? I found it on a list of the first 10 BLs I ever watched, but I couldn’t remember it at all. Not one single thing about it. i Have a bad memory but i usually remember something. So I decided to watch it again, since it’s short.
At first I thought it wasn’t much of a BL, since it’s mainly about the writing/publishing world, and how each of the characters‘lives are shaped by their involvement in this world. I’ve watched 6/8 episodes now, and I’m changing my mind about the story. Or rather, the story is drawing me in anyway.
its still not focused on romance much, but the romance in the mix makes things more interesting and layered. One character is starting to annoy me more and more, as he’s supposed to be motivated by love and the desire to protect but seems to becoming more and more manipulative and controlling. Did he drive anyone else to hate him?
I will finish tomorrow but just thought I’d vent in case anyone else remembers the show.
as a side note, I find it really interesting watching shows again. Sometimes i enjoy them more because im not worried about what will happen. Sometimes I just have different opinions after having watched so many BLs overall now. We’ll see what i think about the end of this one.
Triage
I have been binging this over the last few days. After watching other works created and written by Sammon, I knew what to expect more than when I watched some others. I thought it was excellent but am still thinking about it’s strengths and weaknesses. I don’t like endings that aren’t happy until the last moment, so that frustrated me, but I don’t think it was enough to lower my rating. I’m still thinking though.
i keep saying ”more later” in the hopes that I can write something insightful but I’ve been having trouble focusing lately so we’ll see.
anyway, thanks to those who recommended this! It was among my most worthwhile watches.
