..If it was a higher budget production.

But i have to say that with the budget they had they did an amazing job!
Stay Still lacks nothing compare to high investments and large production companies..but money!And i wish anyone who is wiling to make a BL/gay drama and has the funds to do it,take examples from all those underrated low budget projects which deals with more realistic,dark and troubled issues and show raw and real feelings.

90% of all the low budget mini series and sort films i have watched are little gems indeed.I had to rate them lower only because the quality. The money -not-spent really shows and unfortunately most of the time ruins the entertainment value.And i personally as a viewer always take into consideration the technicalities when rating.

Ok end of the rant but if you ever come across my watchlist and see low rates on such dramas you know the reason.

So back to the drama itself.
The cast did their very best.Acting wasn't the best,i don't even know if they are professional actors.One thing i know for sure.The kisses and all the hot scenes were more real than -many-others we see in high-rated ,high budget series where we just laugh with those dead fish kisses.Here at least show some genuine passion.Also Im glad at the end credits shows everyone's name(it will be really nice if here in MDL add them too)

Yes it is too short to properly develop the story(ies).Yes we don't get enough time for the primary couples and -why not-for the side hetero too.

And i want to start with this couple.Ive read many found it unnecessary and even skipped all their scenes etc.First of all i liked the idea the story to be told through them.It also somehow connected the 2 main couples as their stories are totally irrelevant and most likely never will cross paths.
So many complaints about this couple.But i don't agree.Showing them in bed,having sex,talking and smoking wasn't a filler neither wasted screen time.Not to me.Was a very clever way to show us that every couple,no matter their sexuality,homo or hetero,all faces problems,all struggles for different reasons,all have to deal with society/family/friends etc,one way or another.
We see the hetero girl is forced to marry someone she doesn't love and her lover asks if she can cancel it.I was happy we get the first happy ending among the couples, when she nodded "yes".

This is a very short drama and i don't want to go deep into the main characters and their stories.
All i can say is that both stories portrayed in the most realistic way.Is not always fluffy,cute and full of butterflies because life is not either!

Both couples in their own way fight, for their happiness.I was so glad they didn't give up on each other.
My last comment is about Kelvin and Archie story.Is NOT a cliché story.Is NOT a common,lame or boring trope.
Kelvin is a married, with a son, gay man who was trapped in a life he never wanted,by a bitchy woman who uses their kid to keep him.Don't take such stories as a bad trope.It is the real thing,in real world.

I want more series like this.I hope such productions get more sponsors in the future.
