ConFuSEd about a few things
Who greenlit this script, my guy? And it doesn’t have anything to do with my rating/review, but I just had to point out that having multiple scenes with both Ki Hyun Woo and Yeo Reum was actually insane work knowing that there will be bisexuals like me watching. Twas truly a treat to behold.
Acting:
Acting wasn’t bad but besides a couple of the actors, not noteworthy overall. That may be due to the writing/characterization of the characters. Ki Hyun Woo did a great job throughout the show . Park Hyeong Seop was pretty good too.
Writing:
Ouch, bro. I love a reencounter but you can’t seriously want me to believe that all that love and longing stemmed from what seems like a year or two at most of hanging out at the park with someone when ya’ll were like 6… Also, I hate an oblivious MC. Not only was he oblivious to the point it caused me physical pain, but he was giving hardcore oblivious hetero dude. Such an odd choice to go with in this story. Also, WHY AREN’T WE COMMUNICATING WHEN THERE IS LITERALLY NO REASON NOT TO AND YOU’RE ALREADY HAVING A CONVERSATION DIRECTLY ADDRESSING THE CONCERN AT HAND AHHHHHH. Sorry, I just nearly had a full-blown CONNIPTION watching allathat. Also, I can’t understand a story where we act like the person who is the hottest one in every room they are in isn’t the hottest in every room they are in. And like, I’m sorry.. But you want me to believe that that first scene in the breakroom where Choi Jun was being all suave and flirty and shit did nothing to Lee Jun?? I think the straightest man’s heart would still swoon for that fr.
Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:
There was chemistry in most of the scenes. It’s just that all of those scenes were where Lee Jun appeared to want nothing to do with Choi Jun… So… This story is not a good romance. I need a better backstory to make me happy for the reencounter, more conflict than just three dudes going after the MC and they all have pros and cons but one of them has a face the gods would envy. I also was desperate for at least 5 scenes where you see Lee Jun waver and really show his growing affection. The whole “you are my first love” line in the end had me SO confused. Like, was he really? Could’ve fooled me. Kissing was fine, Ki Hyun Woo did a good job of making it believable/realistic that his character wanted to kiss Lee Jun and enjoyed doing so. Yang Jun Mo did a pretty good job with it as well.
Music/SFX:
Normal besides those classic corny love songs thrown in at least once an episode for absolutely no good reason.
Just scrap the damn story and start over. Rewrite the whole script at the very least. I genuinely can’t imagine this story/script coming across my desk and leaving with a stamp of approval. The actors could have done so much with a good script/story and instead they had to work with whatever this was.
