K-Drama Chemistry class is now in session
This was way more enjoyable than I anticipated. I didn't go into it thinking it would be crap, but I also had no idea how much I was going to love this show and the MLs!
Kudos to the author/screenwriter for constructing the story the way they did, but much credit to Leo and Kingston. Damn, the actors more than delivered! Their chemistry is some of the best I've seen. And its not just because they are comfortable in NC scenes. Its the way they convey it. There's something very intimate about their interactions. It comes off as sincere, vulnerable, playful, intense, sexy, and very grown folk coded. And I dont mean explicit, I mean two grown men expressing their desire for each other, and their desire to grow closer to each other, through physical intimacy. The NC scenes were slowly paced to perfection!
It also stuck to the project. It was an organized crime/undercover police drama with an intense love story between the MLs. Some shows lose focus and you lose your bearings. No weird forays into rom-com or other genres. It makes it feel more cohesive to me, more thoughtful.
Outside of their chemistry, I also felt like the MLs were entirely believable in their characters. I didn't have any WTF or cringe moments, or times when I felt like rolling my eyes. No tear farming either. I was just there with the characters experiencing their story and their emotions.
They really made them most of what I assume was a modest budget. A solid watch for sure! Indulge yourself if you haven't already.
