This had great potential for an angsty storyline with their own emotional baggages, highschool unrequited love, and reencounter,,, but it failed to deliver even with whatever premise they decided to go with. They have fine and cute chemistry with normal interactions like talking, eating with each other, and walking side by side,,, but fails to produce similar results in their intimate moments.
Speaking of, I'm not really critical of kiss scenes, but it's really comical that this series have a good number of kisses spanned throughout the episodes, BUT all of them are DEADFISH kisses. It's awkward. I'd rather they have less kiss scenes.
The tension is THICK between the leads. You know cbromances can already kill you with all their subtlety in their gaze, touch, and words (for censorship reasons), but now it can step it up a notch since they finally found a way to workaround that ban. I am loving this drama.
Call it queer trauma, but I don't trust those trope of introducing the story with a spoiler of a future into a recap like it was already introduced that they would fall in love at the start. I hope it's a happy ending ajshhdhdhsh
The sensible thing is if u were a popular actor, your agency wouldv've screened or filtered such things. Also why would you even keep those in a box that's easy for other people to see lol
I've put off watching this because I watched the promotional film for the novel first when it aired. It starred Benjamin Tsang and Stan Huan. Maybe because of the budget with the diff media types, but the script, directing, production, cinematography, music scoring were superior than this drama. Although it was 5 mins, it captured strong chemistry, tension, and angst between the leads even with just their gazes and little script. With the drama, it fell flat. The angst with the mains fared weaker than the 2nd leads. Also, with an angsty storyline, everything was glaringly bright and flat to convey such depth. The promotional film did well in utilizing lighting and optics to depict emotions. Now that I've finally completed it, it was decent. I'd rate it higher if I hadn't watched the promo film. Also I've liked the 2nd leads better towards the end. It's a rewatchable drama for me
What a massive letdown. The start was already bumpy and then it got rushed and crashed. So many unanswered questions with the ending. It needed an epilogue to tie the knots. Maybe a plot-heavy drama is not for their budget. Sometimes, something simple works best. That's why A Breeze of Love was fine.
My reaction too haha. It's so funny too because it was commented 11 years ago and the OP is clearly serious and distraught for the actor's sexuality just bc of a kiss 😭
Damn imagine wholeheartedly supporting your brother in your lowest of the lows, but then he rejects you and kills your dream just because you love someone. :////
The son is most definitely hot for his buddy, and it went absolutely...nowhere. The daughter makes a sexual move…
2 years late, but with what i gathered, the brother/father was stunned and confused that's why there were seconds of the girl forcing onto him. He did not kiss back.
4 eps in and this is sorta cringe. The script is ummm.. not quite good. The actors talents are wasted on this slop, esp Tee. He needs to find better script. He has great chemistry with Masu, but it gets extinguished whenever they speak whatever on their script 😭😭. It's so frustating.
I know that the tutor akira backstory was integral in the manga to depict "contrast" between (1) the light…
But yeah, CONTRAST is depicted in the story five times! (1) The opposite personalities of the leads. Kanata is popular, energetic, talkative, sporty while Akira is smart, quiet, shy, and brooding. (2) Kanata is portrayed to be always happy and cheerful on the outside, but is ridden with issues inside. (3) Despite such, when with Akira, Kanata is an open-book. He lays out all his worries and does not hesistate to show his emotions and opinions. While much has yet to be seen from Akira with his mysterious aura. Akira prefers to keep personal facts of himself. (4) As mentioned, the light fluffy romance between the teen leads and the dark heavy connection between two characters. (5) The story starts out light and cute, but then shifts to a sad, disturbing, and dark drama. One moment you're gushing out on how cute the interactions with leads, then the next moment you're gutted with the sudden flip of emotions. The tension is unbearable.
