“Rearrange” - A Refreshing, Well-Rounded BL Gem
"Rearrange" is a truly refreshing addition to the BL genre—one that doesn’t rely on shallow fanservice or overhyped moments to carry its story. Instead, it delivers a genuinely engaging plot, great character development, and strong performances from its cast.
The chemistry between the main leads is palpable and feels authentic, making their emotional journey both believable and heartfelt. Equally impressive is the second couple, who bring their own charm and depth to the story without ever feeling like a filler or an afterthought. It’s rare to see both couples in a BL series complement each other so well without overshadowing one another.
The plot is well-paced and thoughtfully written, steering clear of the recycled tropes and empty drama that plague many other popular BLs. There's actual substance here—characters with motivations, growth, and real conflict—not just a parade of cute moments for the sake of fan edits.
Another standout is the OST. The soundtrack enhances every scene beautifully, adding emotion without being overpowering. It’s the kind of music you’d want to listen to long after the series ends.
Acting-wise, everyone delivers. The cast gives nuanced, emotionally resonant performances, and the directing knows when to hold back and when to push. It’s proof that BLs can be taken seriously when made with care and intention.
In a landscape full of series that are wildly popular for all the wrong reasons—overhyped shows with no real plot or heart, coasting on surface-level appeal and empty fanservice—“Rearrange" stands out for all the right reasons. It has depth, sincerity, and quality. People might sleep on it now, but this is the kind of show that deserves recognition.
Definitely an 8/10 for me. I know I’ll be rewatching it at least a couple more times.
