An Ambitious Project That Failed
As of episode 2 this one has A LOT of problems, but it also has a lot of heart, soul and ambition so I'm going to keep watching it for now. You kind of get the sense that the entire cast and crew maybe took on a little more than they could handle, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they pull it off by the last episode. There were a number of times I was confused and bewildered as to what was actually happening and why, but at least some of that might also be the result of cultural issues or, more likely, bad subtitle translations.
Regardless of its flaws, you do also get the sense that everyone's trying very hard, and that actually counts with me on a BL series like this that's clearly trying to make something good on what's probably a shoestring budget. Here's to hoping they overcome the odds and succeed.
REVISED REVIEW:
I'd hoped this would improve over time, but it only got worse unfortunately. And the final episode/ending was downright cringe-worthy. I actually stopped watching about half-way through it, and have no plans to ever finish watching this mess. That bad.
The writing was awful, and often completely nonsensical, making the whole production a complete unfocused disaster. I feel badly for the actors who seemed like they were trying their best to make things work. Sadly, nothing could save something this poorly conceived and executed. Beyond amateur. I'm still curious as to how something this awful could have even gotten made. Khemjira it's not.
