Rushed but Refreshing: The Director Who Buys Me Dinner
Korean Drama: The Director Who Buys Me Dinner
10 episodes, each ranging from 10 to 17 minutes.
Now let’s get to the details. It seems the production faced financial limitations, which resulted in events being compressed in an annoying way. I didn’t like how the story ended in just 10 episodes without clarifying the rest of the plot. They could have reduced costs by removing some unnecessary side characters who were only there to fill the screen. I also didn’t like how the relationship between the two leads concluded this way. While I knew the ending would be sad, the story still felt incomplete due to the rushed pacing.
On the positive side, I loved the harmony between the two leads—their chemistry was amazing. What I especially liked is that, unlike other BL dramas, their love story was already established in a past life as two men. I laughed at several funny moments, like when he was drinking and the bottle was taken away from him. I also enjoyed how the main character acted spoiled while still trying to keep up with his lover.
The story itself is fresh and not repetitive, but the excessive cramming of events caused noticeable gaps and left parts of the narrative feeling empty. Overall, despite its flaws, it’s still a new and interesting take compared to the typical boys’ love dramas.
