Saebit school boys will definitely make you smile!

I really adore this show. I love pretty much everything about it. Nothing in this world is perfect, but "Light On Me" is definitely a huge improvement from previous korean boys love dramas.
First of all, the characters. I really liked all of them especially the character development we got to see. Daon was my favourite among the school council boys for his complexity and the way Choe Chan Yi portrayed him. The cast did such a great job! They were all shining!
Second, the production teams deserves a huge praise! It was the first time I truly enjoyed the camerawork in a korean bl. The filters they used and the colours they chose were all eye pleasing. To be honest this is what other bl dramas really lacked in. I know they have a limited budget, but sometimes I just couldn't understand the choices PDs made!
And lastly, let's talk about the OSTs . They have been on my playlist ever since they got released. They are such a good songs. Listening to them feels so good especially now that it is summer. I truly love how a kpop group sang an OST for bl drama! It is such a huge step up.
"Light On Me" definitely made me look forward to the next korean bl. If you are still wondering if it is worth a watch, do not hesitate, just go straight into it. I gurantee you will love it as much as I did!

I will start this review with saying that I have watched a fair amount of BL dramas in my life. This is the first time I am deeply impressed with one of them though. My expectations were not that high to begin with. When I saw the trailer for this series, I knew I had to watch it as it combines two of my favourite genres, wuxia and boys love. However, I am not a big fan of any of the BL dramas China has released in recent times. 'Kill to Love' really suprised me with its quality and turned out to be an amazing watch. First of all, the acting. You can really see that the actors were professionally trained. Male leads graduated from China's most prestigious acting schols: the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy. They are really spectacular on screen. The emotions they present to the viewers are raw, they truly embody their characters and the most important thing: their chemistry is off the charts. I also have to praise the scriptwriter, the actor playing Shen Song, for giving us magical and one of the most poetic dialogues I have ever heard in a Chinese drama. If you know the language, they get even better. The cinematography is also really good. I love the colour palette they used as it perfectly mirrors the general feeling of the drama. Male leads have mentioned countless times how limited the budget for this drama was, they even got kicked out of the set on the last day of shooting, but they definitely made the best out of it. I am really in love with the series and if you are still hestitating whether to watch it or not, please just dive straight into it. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.
