Must Watch for every BL lover
One of the few dramas I knew would love in the first 5 seconds in!
MDL Rating is way below of what this deserves!
I first watched this drama last year in December. It is also one of the first BL dramas I watched.
You can say this drama is the reason I got into BL dramas this year. ♥
I have watched it 3 times so far!
**Music**
First of all, the music is one of the reasons I love this drama and made me fall in love with it immediately.
It's a perfect fit and not many dramas are able to suck me in just with the music choice.
The director understood perfectly how important music is for a drama and also made the right choice for the right scenes.
**Directing**
Hands up to the director! To be fair, it's a style I love in general. Overall, the drama has a really calm style. It really reminded me of Makoto Shinkai Movies, because he has that calm style too. The Director was also able to hold that style through the whole drama. If you binge watch it, you will be sucked in in the first few seconds and only come out when the drama is finished. I really love when Directors are able to do that. On top the perfect music, and also the great chemistry between the actors! Also, I don't say this often. but the drama & music really inspired me. I write poems, and this literally is the first drama that made me write one. ♥
**Acting**
Even though the actors were new, it didn't feel like they were beginners. I think its a pity these 2 don't have other projects. Their chemistry was also really great, which is hard to find in korean BL tbh. Most korean actors shy away from kissing scenes and it feels awkward in the end. But the 2 actors made me feel like the characters feel sth for each other the moment they first met in the drama, just with the gazes (props to the directing here too, cause damn, I felt the attraction of these 2 lol). The actors also seemed to have chemistry behind the camera, so its even more a pity to me.
**Story** (spoiler)
The story itself isnt something special. I would call it a slice of life with a coming-of-age feel to it.
Its about 2 boys that randomly met at a bar and find out they are students at the same university.
While 1 of them is a freshman and new to the area, the other is about to finish Uni, having a break in between and fighting a trauma he has because of his younger brothers death.
The stories center is a surfing club. The younger one joins even though he can't swim, probably to be near the older one.
They become close and their relationship starts to bloom into sth more.
**Overall**
Its a must watch for every BL lover! Like I said above, I watched it 3 times so far and never got bored with it, which is really rare for me too, because once I know the story I usually wont rewatch it. So if I rewatch a drama its because of the style or the actors.
