A story that had potential
Ever since I watched Secret of Us, I’ve been a fan of Ling and Orm for their outstanding performances, and I knew this pairing would bring us soft GL content.
Now onto the review: the storyline had great potential, especially as it gave Ling the chance to shift from her usual doctor role into a more action-oriented character. It definitely stood apart from other GL stories out there. However, the writing felt lacking—too many scenes seemed to fill space without real purpose.
More importantly, their on-screen chemistry didn’t come across as strong as it does in real life. Considering this isn’t their first time working together, they should’ve seemed more at ease. Honestly, their kiss scenes in Secret of Us were much better—here, they felt hesitant and forced. The story also didn’t provide a solid foundation to justify their actions, making it harder to connect with.
To the producers: if your actors aren’t comfortable with intimate or fan-service moments, don’t stretch out or overload the series with awkward kissing scenes. Viewers will still love the actors and appreciate the series more if those moments feel natural rather than forced.
