The perfect Korean short BL drama
YOU MAKE ME DANCE
Korea 2021 - Review
Another oldie review, and the kind I like a lot: Korean BL dramas. Why? The Koreans have this special touch to make short BLs which resemble the theatre from of the "Kammerspiel" - chamber play or chamber drama. I am rating a short in great part according to the aim, and a chamber play has a totally different goal that a grand series. It contains a short story with very few actors, usually a short time. Everything is limited and it reflects the beautiful art which Korea and Japan are so famous for: minimalism. To express much with very little.
In that it were 8 Episodes of around 15 minutes each, a story between a dancer in debt and his debt collector and their falling in love and overcoming difficulties. It was not one of those loud Thai BLs with BINGS and sounds and all, but a slow paced drama unfolding in its own perfection. The display of two people coming together and overcoming odds was like this minimalist, but not too little that brought this small serious IMVPO to a near perfect short series to watch. Like the genre of Korean short BL it was tender and had a harmony of its own like a center of gravity where any more would have been too much and any less to little. Like in dancing. Or cooking.
It is one of the few BLs I can clearly think to watch again sometimes, something I rarely feel about BLs, even when I like them, and most of them are these small, short Korean Chamber Play Dramas like this. As such measured on its aim and me having nothing much left to wish at the end, give dare to rate it a
