Unwatchable

This is the dullest BL I've seen - it's unwatchable. I just dropped it after Ep 3, which was almost entirely people messaging each other with a couple of phone calls thrown in, and it was entirely people telling each other they passed their college entraince exams. Riveting.

This is incompetently made. The camera work is good, but the editing is miserable. First of all, there are ways to quickly communicate the characters' excitement about going to college other than each character calling every other character to tell them they passed. The music editing is even worse. The background music is way too loud, and it's the same single bar of pizzicato strings downloaded for free played over and over. There's a scene where someone calls someone who's standing outside a club (to tell him he passed his entrance exams), and every time the perspective shifts to club boy, the same chord from the club track is played - it's so awfully edited it's astonishing.

Title and Man from The Yearbook are quite good, but nobody else stands out - I know what First and Ja look like because I punished myself for my sins by watching Don't Say No, but I honestly can't recognize anyone else from ep to ep. Well, I guess Mean, but he's unrecognizable because his "hair" keeps changing radically and tragically.

I honestly can't understand how anyone can get through this before falling into a coma. Well, I suppose the loud music might keep your brain from shutting down, but the metal spike you shove into your ear to make it stop will have the same effect.

Run away.
