Actually liked this movie more than I thought I would. Historical Chinese BL with superpower mermaid people. You can already kinda see in the photos of this drama that it's certainly BL and not bromance.
Has a bit of a strange ending but I've seen enough cdrama do that so I'm used to it. Is it confusing to watch in general? Yes. Getting through this its best to just not think too deeply about the story.
But its great for random interpretations which I will go and do right now for the ending in the spoiler comment. I hope this clears something up for some.
Good first episode, am looking forward to the next one! It set up things pretty nicely for the reason why ML is after FL and all those details ^^ Less comedic than I expected but I like a bit more serious plot too and I have no doubt there will be enough upcoming comedy.
Didn't expect to like this show but it got to me. It just has a lot of ridiculous moments that are a great distraction and the male leads are fun. The songs are pretty random sometimes but I don't mind that. With all BLs I just don't want to get bored and this show hasn't bored me yet.
It's like watching a slow trainwreck unfold for the main lead. Kang Tae Wan and his personal struggles really made the drama worth watching and you really feel for the guy.
Can someone explain to me WHY they like this? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely curious, because this is…
It's not really the highest BL on my list either but its alright. You just have to keep in mind its origin which is a mobile dating sim game. If you keep that in mind the way the characters act becomes a lot more understandable.
They are all befriending the new guy because this is a game world, the characters are dating sim characters that will follow certain typical character types. I've never seen a BL drama based directly on a dating sim game as far as I know so that's why it may feel odd. It's not gonna be realistic and I don't expect it to be.
As for why it's the highest rated BL on MDL, that's clearly just because not a lot of people have rated this show yet. Up till now mostly fans of Korean BL seem to have rated this show. The rating will get lower as non-BL fans find out about this show or BL fans with different expectations join in. WYEL has been rated by ~16.000 and Light on Me by ~400 people. This is just how the system works and has always worked. You can get unpopular movies to be rated a 10 on MDL. Rating doesn't mean a lot until its done by a lot of people.
I'm gonna be refering to them as ''couples'' whether they have formed yet or not cause the poster/opening of the show is pretty clear about the endgoal.
Current favorite couple is Nampu and Copy (the ones with the scared cat) cause they don't mess around. They get so little screentime but that also forces them to actually develop their couple plotline a lot faster which is nice. The flirting of Nampu is refreshing in comparison to a lot of the other couples slow progression.
Both & NewYear have been together since the beginning which is not something I see often in BL. I will likely remember them for being the relationship therapists to other characters though.
Then theres Phob and MaiEak. Well. They sure are a work in progress. Phob is one of my favorite characters though cause he looks so done with everything a lot of the time. I honestly do want to see how they finish this couples storyline.
What can I say about main couple? They had their moments and a lot more screentime which was nice for them. Not my favorites though and yeah very very slow progression despite the amount of moments. Basketball guys I feel like I barely got to know them so not sure how to feel about that. They exist I guess.
I mean if you like the military then this drama can be interesting. I myself am not very interested in rockets to this extent. A token female character shows up sometimes to still let you know the female gender exists.
Rewatched the ending again. Story may not be for everyone since its very melodramatic and tragic but once you've watched the entire drama the feelings about it remain strong. The drama wraps up beautifully and it leaves an impact.
Thank goodness her electricity appears to only affect peoples love cause yeah she could've electrocuted so many. Very sweet drama with a pikachu female lead but nothing new from a romance cdrama with all its typical moments. Still cute to watch if you have time and wanna see fluff.
