All charcters need therapy ASAP
It has been ages since I was this invested in a BL, to the point of finishing it in no time. It has also been years since I’ve watched a Korean BL and honestly I’d say its been a year even since i watched a good action BL that didn’t bother me because of the bad acting or the boring plot.
As much as i enjoyed it, i am actually happy that it was short, cause it manage to kept the tension high for the entirety of the show, a thing that almost no action bl were able to do in all the years I’ve spent watching them. There was literally no dull moment. It was packed with informations and events beginning to end, and i was actually quite happy of it, even tho i think some aspects could have been explained better, like actually giving a somehow understandable introduction to the various victims without me having to guess half of the time who they were.
One thing: OH MY GOD. I cannot believe the whole plot, the whole deus ex machine, the whole fucking reason they met each other was to resolve the omicide of lee chaeha father and somehow at the end we don’t know who tf made it??? Like it was the whole point, it should have been explained, here should have been at least a confirmation of some sort (and to be fair, an apology from taeseon towards chaeha, but maybe I’m over reaching).
The chemistry between the actors was undeniable and i loved it so much. They were so fricking good together, and finally some kbl actors that were not afraid to open their mouth while kissing like we used to pray for times like this. Unfortately the romance was a little bit borderline for me. The first kisses were forced, their first time they were drunk (well, especially chaeha).. all red flags that I don’t like and don’t condone. And to be fair, even if its then explained why Taeson behaves this way towards Chaeha, the way chaeha fell for someone that treated them so badly was honestly scary like man go to therapy don’t stay here please. Well, actually, they should both go to therapy. No wait, every single charcter in this show should have gone to therapy. Like, there was not a single character that wasn’t either a full psycho or full of traumas that desperately needs some processing.
Both actors were pretty good, but oh my god Yoonsik. The performance was so impressive it scared me. He was able to convey so many emotions through his eyes it made me so happy cause i could finally watch a bl were not only they picked goo actors, but they even put them in role that measured to them (gmmtv, LEARN)
The videography and all the visuals aspects were pretty good, as usual for Korean shows. The dark tones fitted the image perfect, the production, even if the budget wasn’t the highest was pretty well done, the scripts were good, the character intresting. Everything was done very well
Would i rewatch it? Likely yes, but maybe after the first three or four episodes. I’d rewatch some moments and move on, its not exactly the most rewatchable show of all time, once u know all the plot twist.
PS. The plot twist were pretty predictable, but still pretty nice.
PPS. Yoonsik you are the prettiest man alive, kiss whoever gave you that hairstyle.
