Legit checked my playing speed to make sure it wasn’t on 1.25x. They were speeding through those scenes lmao and the ending was rushed and full of lose ends. Acting ranged from cringe to acceptable. Mill remains pretty af. The irony (hypocrisy?) of the kpop group with the most homoerotic performances denouncing using “gay” as a selling concept in their very own BL series is… wild. All the while shying away from more than a blurry lip touch! Now that’s a feat!
I went in with VERY low expectations so I was pleasantly surprised. Especially by Nine´s acting, that boy was…
I can see KB as an over the top villain you can’t take 100% seriously even though he’s chopping people up left and right. Yes, there’s a market for that kind of character, I would know lmao.
How the hell do you have such a mid love scene with freaking Perth of all actors?! That's it, no more romance shows for you, Chimon! Poor boy can't act affectionate to save his life and looks like he'd rather be anywhere but in Perth's arms, just let him be the cool angry side character please.
PerthChimon was great in Never Let Me Go without any action nor screen time, how did we get here? Well, maybe they were great exactly because of that...
Guy and Nawa doing romantic things (feeding each other, etc.) while taunting each other without realising it is stupidly hilarious to me. There was some improvement in their relationship because they were clearly stalling during that bathroom showdown. They’re so dumb and obvious I love them.
Meanwhile Perth and Chimon keep giving besties vibes but it’s ok I’m done mourning. I hope we get to see them with a better script someday, or maybe something with Perth and Ohm instead?
Why am I more into Guy/Nawa than the main couple played by freaking Perth and Chimon what has this mess of a show done to me??!! I had such high hopes god dammit!
The first two episodes were interesting, but then it devolved into any other plotless romance BL and the main characters lost most of their spunk. It's hitting all the usual beats : tripping into each other's arms, staring into each other's soul for way too long, "we actually know each other from when we were kids but you forgot me", the symbolic object (here an umbrella) that will become merch, moving in together with some bull excuse... and I'm expecting the "convincing disapproving parents" episode, the asleep kiss followed by panic and avoidance, as well as misunderstandings based on poor communication and assumptions to follow soon.
I'm just hoping it's all part of some strategy to give Perth and Chimon a "gradual" BL career that will keep fans interested throughout. I've noticed that they sometimes do that with new actors. First a bland plot with very tame romance because they can still rely on the novelty of the couple, then they go more niche and heavier little by little. I really hope they get better stuff in the future because their acting is top notch.
I'm pretty sure I'm laughing at moments I'm not supposed to but, hey, I'm laughing nonetheless. And the plot is a step up from Cutie Pie. And that secretary is welcome to invade my screen all day every day.
As I feared, Kanghan suddenly became 100% nice and Sailom barely did a double take. A bit of a shame in my opinion (and very unrealistic) but I’ll keep watching. I wanted more of smartass Sailom flipping Kanghan’s schemes around, dammit!
