Mademoiselle Noir

Upon its first announcement, I thought this drama would be good, but damn, it was actually fine as hell! From the cinematography and soundtrack to the siren eyes and darkness haunting Key, the icy allure and secretly caring side of Chan, the moving love triangle, the wardrobe, and, of course, the sultry looks, honeyed words, and steamy chemistry between the FLs! Everything was not only quality but designed to entice!

I blushed! And blushed! And by the time I'd just barely recovered, I was back to blushing like a damn fool again! As a viewer, I felt like I was being aggressively flirted with at every angle, and I was not clever enough to stutter out a response to this level of flirting! Your girl has weak knees and can only handle so much! So more often than not, I was staring at my screen, dumbfounded.

I adored EmiBonnie in "Us" and thought they were deadly charming there, but dear Lord, they must have put something in the water to make them serve SO hard here!!!

*aggressively fans self*

But beyond the flirting was a story of overcoming opposition, guilt, and bad memories. Finding a partner that is ready and willing to stay and face the monsters under the bed, even if they never fully go away.

This was a couple that, once they got together, mapped out their future. And what a lovely, grey-haired destination it appeared to be.

If I have to critique it, I'd say that, given the intimidating presence that Chan's mother was, I think more could have been done with her near the end. And it wouldn't have hurt to have given Jay more screen time, her being so terribly compelling, but she did play a very important part in the story already and even had her own personal growth arc, so maybe that would just be me being greedy. Lol.

But, really, this drama had so much to offer. It's hard for me to find things to complain about!
