Why I rated this 8/10
*Fourever You*
I've noticed that the #1 thing with BL dramas shipping depends strongly on the chemistry that the main & 2nd leads have with each other. For instance Zee & NuNew, Nat & Max or Joong & Dunk, just to name a few outstanding main BL leads. Whether they are really part of the LGBTQ+ community or not... the character they are portraying is & every emotion has to radiate through each heart of the viewer of a love connection between 1 to the other. These young actors that I've mentioned above have that spark of magic that can pull their viewer into a relationship that is luscious.
Watching this recommended drama (Fourever You), I have to admit was cute, but I feel that the pairing was disconnected. The main couple Hill & Easter (Ter) relationship connection was blah... it felt more like 2 friends that are trying their best to connect to the character... but just can't bring themselves to embrace it... especially Hill (or the actor Pond). The disconnect was so out there... and as each episode went by... I still felt that connection was just impersonable, instead of personable. The young actor playing Ter (Earth) I just felt that was a bit over the top with trying to be bashful & his movements were a bit over the top silly (He's supposed to be the age of a college student, not a 10-year-old child in grade school). Even with his relationship with his friends... he talks and acts like a 10-year-old child who is giddy, instead of an 18-, 19- or 20-year-old young MAN. WHY?
Now, I don't know if this is the fault of the director... but I felt either the entertainment company that picked the director dropped the ball.... or ... if it wasn't the director .. The young actor Earth just didn't fit the criteria of the character & lost his way from start to finish. I thought maybe things would pick up once Ker agreed to be the BF of Hill, but instead their storyline just got worse & the connection went from blah to omg!
Now on to the 2nd couple: Johan & North... They were definitely a match. I can feel a spark & connection; it made me focus more on their relationship then the Main leads. The spark in Johan's eyes when he first saw North when he opened the door ... brough goose bumps and a smile. That's a winning pair. The planning to get together was a bit out of the ordinary... but it worked. Johan had his own style to live free in North's thoughts. These two actors understood what was expected of their character & handled it with the finesse of young college students' personalities. By the time I reached Episode 14... I knew that the only reason I would finish this drama was because of Johan & North's pairing & storyline. As episode 16 came into closing up the ending of this drama... in my personal opinion when North and his classmate regarding a survey about Rich & Poor people that his classmate was doing is the most interesting conversation. North's answers regarding some of the questions, has me realizing that this young man has wisdom for such a young age. It brings questions of why he feels like he does... with the maturity of an elder? This is where the respect & admiration Johan found with North. Johan to reflect on his outlook with his life was a starting point in changing. This conversation had such an impact with me, that I literally went back to listen to their conversation again. It just showed how the writer's thoughts are to enlighten not only Johan who was hearing this conversation, but also the viewers of all ages to understand that even though you're rich or come from a rich family... it doesn't mean you can live life easily, it takes skills also & knowledge to not lose what you accomplished to be financially well off. Loved this conversation... it was a 10star PowerPoint. It shows that we all have to prove our worth to ourselves, no matter whether you're rich or poor.
I was glad that I decided to continue to watch this drama, at least because of North & Johan... They were the highlight of this drama that made it all worthwhile to finish it. Which is why the rating was 8/10
