Yes, it’s like I love Boun, but he and Prem seem to only be offered poorly written series. I’m holding out hope for ReVamp. So far, it’s better than others starring BounPrem, but, I’m not very eagerly awaiting each new episode. We’ll see.
Agree. I mean I didn’t HATE it, but there just wasn’t much to it. Sadly. I WANT to love EVERY BL series I watch but, unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out. Sob, sob.
I’ve been trying to make it my new habit of watching ANY J, C, or K dramas that explore any, and all, alternative lifestyles and attitudes. First, because I want to add to the viewing numbers, to encourage these series, and because they deserve to be watched. Cinderella Closet, My Girlfriend is the Man are two I’ve watched, recently, (there was a third, but I’ve forgotten what it was, now). It was cute and I liked it. Hikaru is ADORABLE!!! The acting was typical for Jdromcoms. Watch the alternative lifestyle series, no matter if they are meh, because they open minds and change attitudes, so they deserve to be seen.
Great review. But, I seem to differ from others as far as “red flags” are defined and perceived. There ARE no red flags that I see as red flags, that is to say, others’ perceptions of red flags don’t bother me at all. if I allowed red flags to bother me, I wouldn’t have enjoyed some of my favorite series, like TharnType and KinnPorsche
I think the small amount of disappointment I had with the last 2 episodes, because they showed so little skinship between BOTH couples, when it was MOST warranted, did little to dim my complete LOVE for this entire series. But, on my list it scored a solid 9.7 out of 10.
I ‘ve LOVED Pond since his role in “180 Degrees…” I found his acting genuine, deep, and nuanced. I enjoyed him in this, too, even though this series wasn’t realistic or as well-written as “180 degrees…” his skills still shone through, and his chemistry with Peterpan couldn’t be denied. It felt original, but as you pointed out, it was lacking in some aspects. I liked it, overall.
