Not a Full On BL Series
The Trainee was such a refreshing watch! I really liked the whole concept, it’s not often we get a BL-related series that focuses on the behind-the-scenes of the film industry. It was super cool to get a glimpse into how things work on set.
Ryan's character hit close to home for me. That whole “I don’t know what I’m doing with my life” vibe? Super relatable. The series does a great job showing the struggles of figuring out your path, especially when you're still young and unsure. The cinematography is another standout, everything looks vibrant, polished, and visually pleasing. Acting-wise, everyone did an amazing job, and the chemistry among the cast made the team dynamics and friendships feel real and heartwarming.
I love how there’s no over-the-top villain. The only real "bad guy" is Jane’s ex, who stole Ryan's idea, but even that doesn’t make the show feel too heavy. It’s an easy, feel-good watch with just the right amount of drama. The romance between Ryan and Jane is realistic, not overly dramatic or forced. The progress is too slow though, so be prepared for that.
The Trainee isn’t your typical BL. It’s more about self-discovery, career dreams, and growing up, with a touch of romance on the side. So if you're looking for a full-on BL love story, this might not hit the spot but if you want a slice-of-life story with depth, friendship, and some subtle feels, The Trainee is worth checking out.
