K-Drama This review may contain spoilers
What...was that ENDING?!?
This has to be the first Koran BL and especially HIGH SCHOOL KBL where they ACTUALLY kiss! And KNOW how to kiss and are intimate and delivering the NC scenes well! I was genuinely sooooo SHOOK! So naturally it kept me expecting more. I was literally looking forward to every scene ...and they did not disappoint! The NC scenes were so bold and spot on...BUT
First of all the actor playing Cha..it's his debut..I understand..and I am NO professional. But right off the bat I felt his acting was off. I thought at first it's part of the scene like he was supposed to portray it that way..but that was just him in every setting...every scene. Like I feel like he only showed "emotion" when kissing or doing the 'perverty' stuff like eunho would say lol, or during their arguments. Or slightly in the scenes with the parents.
I went through so many emotions while watching him😭😭 at first I was confused, then TERRIFIED cuz some lines he'd deliver them as if he's a psychopath...or some obsessive creature...with some creepy AI robot looks.
The script.... The things he did that was apparently deemed normal were insane! Like what do you mean he asked eunhos classmate to literally tell him where eunho goes? And the way he always showed up wherever eunho was..the clinginess.... Like the possessiveness I get it...but did it have to be portrayed so creepily.....I didn't find that romantic or cute AT ALL...idk maybe it wasn't delivered properly....like either it didn't make sense to me, not written well or I'm the weird one for not understanding. Then some parts I was genuinely laughing cuz he was too robotic! Why did he always turn like he was possessed???????? And how does eunho keep a straight face and even SMILE when he STARES at him like THAT. Even his walks were so STIFF.
This is really disappointing...cuz what do you mean there was a whole TEAM there and no one even said anything? Were they being too lenient? Did they not take this project seriously? Why didn't anyone see anything wrong with the delivery of the lines and tried to guide him? How does one grow into a good actor without the criticism needed to grow and develop????? Now if they didn't see anything wrong with it, EVEN the co stars then that's a different tragic story....
The actor playing Eunho was good but also stiff at times...the other actors nailed their rolls tbh. Like they were simple stereotypical 'Korean highschool classmates' roles but they each owned their stereotype haha lol loved it!
But I was just confused as to how the new transfer student got "bullied" or actually picked on for a day then the next day they all went to eat lunch together???? Am I the only one who noticed that😭 cuz I saw some reviews talking about the "bullying" and how Eunho was such a good friend....bro got picked on FOR ONE DAY😭 then they all miraculously become friends and even went to play video games together...that part had me weak tbh😭😭😭
Last but not least the ending.
I saw some people say that they LOVED it...and oh my god am jealous! Good for you for understanding. But I just don't. When did he fall asleep? Where does the dream actually start? I may get the effect they wanted to create(I think) but HOW CAN ALL THAT BE A DREAM? that's why am confused as to where the dream actually starts..make it make sense?.! CHAEBAL!!!!
The reason I was even more mad because it took me a while to finish this drama just cause I was like okay now that they're together there's probably nothing to look forward to so I can take my time AND THEN THAT ENDING PISSED ME OFF.
In conclusion, we need more sexually daring K-dramas like this one, or if you're someone who actually read this review and you have one recommend me!!!..
The Chinese and Thais have been up there for so long...step it up Daehanminguk!🇰🇷
Nevertheless, thank you for creating this art!
