tasteless, I'm sorry...
Me parece que los dos protagonistas tienen buna química, pero la trama es muy simple y hasta un poco aburrida.Algo que juega en contra es la poca duración de cada episodio.
En algunos momentos quedaba como: ah?
No me terminó de convencer como inició el romance entre los dos, como muy de pronto y de la nada.

Beautiful cinematography , story execution , and performances
"Blueming" is a simple and heavy hitting BL with beautiful cinematography, soundtrack, story and performance. I'd consider it an S class product in this genre and the kind of quality other dramas in this category fail to deliver on. Back on it's simplicity "Blueming" executes it's some-what layered story in criminally short episodes with ease thanks to great writing, directing and performances. You won't feel lost following this story, and you'll be left with warm feelings after the emotional journey you're taken on.Was this review helpful to you?
A quiet, tender masterpiece
Ah, Blueming... what can I say about this show that hasn't already been said?It is a wonderfully down-to-earth queer drama steeped in realism and tenderness in equal measure.
The visuals are gorgeous and combined with the excellent soundtrack create an atmosphere of quiet hopefulness and renewal, like the feeling of the first days of spring slowly creeping in to replace the winter cold.
That may sound overly poetic, but this story is so touching, so softly poignant that it just grabbed me by the heartstrings so tightly there is simply no other way to describe the impact it had other than through poeticism.
There are no great twists, no dramatic misunderstandings, no grand declarations of love and passion. There is just the slow and steady journey of a cast of achingly real people learning and growing and navigating their way towards happiness, which is portrayed with such raw emotional vulnerability it left me feeling cracked open a split apart in the best way possible.
This show will gently nudge you into reflecting on themes of love, self-image, societal pressures, and the mortifying ordeal of being known. It forgoes melancholy and angst and instead focuses on the raw, quiet joy of being alive and getting to grow and change and learn every day. Just watch it; everyone's soul needs to be wrung out and hung out to dry every once in a while and this story will do that for you.

Top three BL of all time
I don't write reviews very often .but this BL is so deserving of all praises.The acting ,casting and the direction is just chef's kiss.it is easily one of the top three BL's I've ever seen .
I've watched a lot of BL as well as other dramas.but the chemistry with the characters is just mind blowing in this series.im not talking just between the leads.the chemistry of the lead with his family is just so surreal.i loved all the family dynamics he has going on .it really reminds me of my family .i hate it when families in dramas act like stranger with totally awkward acting .here they show them fighting ,arguing and makeing up . Thats how normal families are .
The insecurities the lead feels are very well portayed .i feel like its relatable to today's youth who r very insecure abt themselves.i love the message of self acceptance and self love that is being well delivered through the main lead.
Overall one of my fav dramas of all time.i wish i could go back and see this for the first time .feel those feelings for the first time again .
This drama really made me feel a lot of different feelings .i dont usually invest myself in dramas very much .i always see them for what they r .just dramas .but this drama really made me too invested that i started crying with the main lead in one of the sad scenes.
The main lead has done such an amazing job .i just read that he is a model and this is his first acting job .but i was so impressed with his acting skills i truly thought he was an experienced actor
I really recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a sweet and beautiful drama.

Not bad, but a bit stereotyped.
I won't say i didn't like it, it's cute, but i found a lot of stereotypes in the character personality that made the drama irrealistic and because of that you don' really empatize well with them. The love story is a bit fast, i'm more for the slowburn, but that's a personal preference. a thing that i don't like it, it's the over stereotyped characters. They basically gave them a stereotyped character and run with it for the whole drama, there isn't a lot of character development and you forget them really easliy, since you don't really have the time and the ways to appreciate the characters. I loved the acting tho. Overall i didn't hated it, but i would have appreciated it more if it went slower.Was this review helpful to you?

It took KBL genre to whole another level!
I watched this show with no high expectation since i haven't seen many people talking about it. But let me tell this series took my breath away! It left with such a good feelings and a thinking mind. Its simple but not so it convey the right amount of everything in such a short time. The actors did a phenomenal job portraying their characters. The storyline is perfect, the cinematograohy in this one is so aesthetically pleasing. It deserve so much more recognition i wish more and more people would watch it and support the actors and the show. Blueming is perfection 💙✨Was this review helpful to you?
Some of the BEST chemistry in the industry!
My heart is still on the floor after this one, I just finished this masterpiece all in one go. It's hard to articulate exactly what made this to my instant top 5, but it just did. The actors are beyond my expectations for most shows. Every smile, glance or word uttered by either to other had me melting. They did such a fantastic job casting these two and the side characters were on point as well. It may be short, but it's a complete show and it feels so worthwhile. It's one of the most rewatchable shows I've seen in BL to date and I hope everyone promotes this show to the max. It had everything I could ever want in a BL. Vanilla moments, drama, angst, awkwardness, empathy, sexiness, etc. All my boxes were check and I pray they cast these two mains again! There wasn't a single episode I wasn't squealing or rolling around like a lunatic. Please give this a full watch and see what you think. I've watched a silly amount of BL at this point, but this is one of the rarest gems there is right now.Was this review helpful to you?
heart fluttering happiness
i can't even explain how much i enjoyed this short kdrama, i'm just absolutely devastated that it was short and i can't watch more of it. the chemistry between the main leads is so beautiful and the cinematography of the show is breath taking. it's a show that enlightens the reality of growing up, it sends a clear message to us that no one can be perfect in life and that everyone makes mistakes. it's a great slice of life show and just overall tells us the story of a loving couple that tries to get through hardships together and that is the beauty of this show; the love, the the friendship, the communication.my honest review is that it's genuinely one of the best bl's i've ever watched, it just makes my heart happy and i think that's what we all want in a drama.

Cinephiles would love this underrated Korean BL series!
An overflowing chemistry between the actors, a very pleasing cinematography, and the simplicity of a slice-of-life story; this is my cup of tea. Never did I expect to see a BL series, a Korean BL specifically, to deliver such beautiful queer romance that I know most queer kids are looking for. Not only that, but they were also able to showcase a healthy queer relationship that is ideal, and how different queer relationship struggles are compared to straight (heterosexual) relationships. To sum it all up, I just love how great the MLM representation this show has, its beautiful and cool cinematography, and the amazing chemistry between these actors; they are just amazing and natural.Was this review helpful to you?
With this short duration, this show perfectly lifted my mood of korean bl series for the very first time in 2022. I haven’t felt this great since Bad Buddy ended in January.
From my perspective, all of actors really did their job flawlessly good. Even their side characters were beyond than mediocre.
I didn’t expect much of this series on pilot episode, I even thinking to dropped this series early. But the story look right on more interesting than I expected.
However, there are some things that bugged me and affected me to gave this series only for this rate:
First, I really want to see the connection between his sister (Si Yeong) and his friend (Yun Jeong). Second, Is there any story between Ba Woo and Yun Jeong?. And last, I really wish that they solved their last argument more intense than it was. It really feel easy to me and I believe that conflict was more hurtful than it looks.

Je suis passée à côté
Au vu de la note globale donnée à la série, je crois que je suis un peu passée à côté. Je n'ai pas réussi à m'attacher aux personnages et c'est je crois bien le problème.Il y a bien des côtés positifs à cette série.
Le sujet déjà : les complexes, les douleurs d'un jeune adulte traumatisé par l'attitude de la société et la différence de traitement entre les personnes considérées comme belles et celles considérées comme pas belles. Sa souffrance, son anxiété sont bien dépeintes et communiquées, et sont une vitrine, difficile par moments, pour ceux qui auraient eu à faire face à cette angoisse. On peut rajouter l'absence de représentation parentale positive et la solitude de l'enfant, puis de l'adulte, et la possible découverte d'une personne qui comprendra et comblera potentiellement le vide.
La cinématographie : c'est assez rare dans une série si courte mais il y a un essai réel de présenter un drama travaillé, de qualité. Le travail de photographie est à souligner. C'est plus particulièrement intéressant quand on sait que les personnages sont étudiants en cinéma.
Les acteurs : j'ai eu un peu de mal au départ mais leur jeu correspond bien à leur personnage et ils dépeignent bien la réserve, la méfiance et la douleur de leurs personnages. Leur complicité est difficile à appréhender par contre et j'ai du mal à savoir si le couple est peu chaleureux dans l'histoire elle-même ou si les acteurs ont du mal à représenter leur alchimie.
Un certain nombre de choses ne m'ont pas convaincue par contre.
Les personnages : comme j'ai déjà pu le dire, je n'ai pas réussi à m'y attacher. Les problématiques abordées me touchent pourtant mais il m'a finalement été difficile de ressentir de l'empathie pour les deux protagonistes, malgré leur histoire difficile. J'ai néanmoins beaucoup aimé le côté adulte de leur relation, vraiment appréciable.
Le montage : je ne sais pas bien si c'est le montage ou le scénario, mais le déroulement de l'histoire est par moment vraiment obscur et compliqué à suivre. J'avais décidé de revoir le drama car j'étais un peu frustrée des zones d'ombre du scénario et si certaines ont pu être levées, d'autres n'ont toujours pas de réponse. Peut-être tout s'éclaircira si je re-revois le drama ou si je lis le webtoon ?
En définitive, un drama intéressant, à voir, mais apparemment assez clivant pour avoir des réactions soit modérées, soit dithyrambiques.
