Title The Trainee
Very different vibes than what I was initially expecting but once I Iet myself sit with it I was actually pretty impressed with this first episode. It doesn't feel like a BL, it feels more like just a solid workplace drama that just so happens to feature a queer lead character, which is nice. The slower pace and character driven scenes will surely drive some people up the wall but I'm actually a fan of these more character driven stories GMMTV is trying these days (Only Boo! and We Are come to mind). It actually reminds me a bit of the American remake of Ugly Betty, what with it focusing on a naive intern and a sharp but secretly softer boss. I think what will make or break this show is whether the main ensemble are all able to pull their weight. So far I like the dynamic of all the characters, so I'm interested to see where it all goes.
