IT NEARLY GAVE WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GIVE
Okay, I gave this drama a second rewatch. Maybe I didn't focus enough when I watched it the first time.
Some of the things I pointed out still stand. It did leave me with a "Huh? That's it?" reaction in the end. Watching it again didn't provide me with a clear reason why this whole project is confusing.
The story did revolve around the "Business Gay Performance" concept, but it felt like it's going somewhere, but you realized it's already the end. Maybe having many subplots played a part in why this drama felt rushed.
When I was watching EP 8 initially, where they're already confessing to each other, I checked the remaining time and realized it's reaching its end. I was really disappointed.
Let's go to the actors!
Nine, I think, carried (for the main leads). He did act well and show the necessary emotion needed for specific scenes. I'll admit some of his line delivery is monotonous, but you'll give him credit for trying, especially since this is their first drama. And being drowned in BAE173 content due to Love Class 2, I thought he and Hangyul looked similar.
Mill, as mentioned, I understand that this is their first drama, and his acting did show some potential in some parts, and I'll give him credit for that. But I was confused as to why he didn't maintain eye contact, especially in the ending scene. I am not sure if he's looking at Nine's chin or what, and don't get me started on the English lines. I was really thrown off by that.
KB, I still hate his character, so I think he did well. The plot didn't do justice to his potential, to be honest.
Junjie and Rie were alright. They did what they had to do with what was given to them.
Yoojung, let me preface this by saying he might be my favorite member of the group (initially, I said Nine); he's handsome. BUT! Why did his English lines with Mill feel so awkward? They really tried T_T.
I stand by my initial review that this type of idol-casted drama is a "make or break" situation. In the case of OnlyOneOf, I believe that they really tried their best (who wouldn't?), and I'll give credit for that.
Right now, I am really interested in knowing the group further since I am also a K-pop enthusiast. Especially when I did get to know BAE173 and OMEGA X, through BLs as well.
I will end this by saying, if you're their fan (lyOn), I understand why you watched, enjoyed, and liked this drama. And for someone who didn't know the group initially, this might be the best introduction you need to be interested in the group.
Watching their Idol League episode proved that Yoojung is my bias.
