JoongDunk is a very cute couple, and this show's not boring.
Forewarning: I've started to discover that I don't like slice of life dramas. I want some intensity, maybe even supernatural events. This show is not a boring slice of life drama.
While it's grounded in reality, Hidden Agenda has some juicy storylines and emotional turmoil for their characters to go through. While it's not perfect at pacing and timing, I was very happy with every episode's plot. I felt that the characters acted reasonably, but there was also room for growth, and I love that.
There's stories about family, stories about criminals and danger, a blink-and-you-miss-it story about not being homophobic. It was really a solid meal, especially if you're just getting into BL.
But beyond the writing, I've gone and become a shipper of JoongDunk, our main couple. After watching them in The Heart Killers, I was smartly recommended Hidden Agenda, and I was not disappointed. I could watch them kiss for hours, and the show complied with a few wonderfully long scenes of them making out. You know the actors are good when they can really kiss in-character.
I'm especially into Joong, who manages to make being emotionally-constipated an interesting character trait. And he's so good to his fans! They're both wonderful, but I'll probably follow Joong in whatever he does for a while.
