There are profound thoughts and concepts handed out, but it's never written on the nose-it's subtle enough to avoid that trap. The high when discovering it-and the extreme pain of then losing it. Put these guys and the way they experience their world and each other, in a deeper context.Īlienation, loneliness, "lack of color" in a metaphorical sense rather than actual-and the emotions evoked when finding someone who (or something that) normalizes it all.
I truly, truly get it.Īlso, I have sensory hypersensitivity, so I know that pleasure rush of awe.īut this drama has even more than the exceptionally unique story that it is on the surface. Losing my eyesight-losing the world and all the colors in it-would kill me. But I've been glued to pencils, crayons, paints and pens since I was old enough to grab them. I won't call myself an artist, since I totally suck. That feeling Yeon Woo gets whenever he sees color? I got a little piece of that when watching this. This struck a chord with me, to an extent that very few pieces ever has done.Įven though I'm borderline compulsively objective, I just can't be with this one. gorgeous guy x 2, with nice chemistry = Enjoyable even if it would be utter crap.
It took them 9 eps to get to mutual admittance of feelings-then one episode to hook up, shack up and shake it up.īut fuckups aside-the OST is catchy and the cheery intro song from this series blasting when my alarm goes off in the morning-turns my cranky mood down a notch.īasically despite a thin plot, messy techs and lack of originality. The story up until then, building slow, just went into total lightspeed, causing a crazy rushed progression. In Ep 10, stuff went haywire in writing/pacing. (But since I love Toptap, I won't complain. And the amount of time they get, is so odd in proportion that the side couples feel unnecessary. The jumps between the couples, are really haphazard. The editing is really weird and at times-so abrupt that it feels like one went to the bathroom during commercials and missed out on a couple of minutes. He CAN act, but he always goes over-the-top in comedic roles. Something like that.) Most of the cast is made up of familiar faces from earlier BL. (Also, the MC actors are just about the prettiest BL leads ever.
It's sufficient for a fix of cute boys love. There isn't much to the story-it's standard and more than a little bit stupid (aren't most.), but it's generic BL. Anything that has guys with guitars and puts this much focus on music-is bound to get me hooked. Then I started to fall for the guys and now I kind of like it. People, there are a whole lot of numbers between 1 and 10. A stupid romcom can be a 10 just as well as a Kurosawa flick, can.ītw A "5" means "mediocre". My ratings are pretty harsh at times, but I judge by quality, not by how much I like/dislike it. My other lists already contain all these titles, but a quick-list might come in handy anyway-for an overview. ***Titles included are ones where BL/Gay themes or (male) Gay characters characters, play a fairly significant role*** (Or, well China-(mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan), Japan, South Korea and Thailand.) *** *** Be sure to check out my lists for respective country, as well as my huge collected list (793 titles and counting) for all Asian BL. I'll have to think about this a bit more and I might split it at the end of 2021. UPDATE: List was created early 2020, so I was pondering on whether to split this list in two, but decided not to, since quite a few series have a split air time 2020/2021. (China-Mainland China + Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Thailand.) Currently airing, upcoming and finished BL/Gay themed dramas and movies of 20.
