Where Your Eyes Linger

The best Korean BL I've seen thus far (especially since they are not that common)! I was surprised to learn about the age difference between the actors, but it didn't affect my enjoyment at all; there is amazing chemistry between the main leads. It was humorous, cute, but also had enough angst to fulfill all of your hearts desires. The plot was unique and had a different concept. I did feel that Hye's character was kind of a waste of time; I wish there could have been more lead up from Tae Joo's perspective sans jealousy instead. I definitely want to see more LGBT+ Korean dramas in the future, hopefully where the plot doesn't so much revolve around homosexuality as a taboo, but instead around the same sort of relationship issues any hetero couple in dramas would have. Also, I wish they could have gotten together before the end so that we could have gotten snippets of them actually dating. Of course I wish the drama was longer, but I guess having something is better than nothing. Some of the longer dramas recently seem to really drag in the middle, so it was nice not to have to deal with that and to look forward to the each episode.

The storyline is simple and has cohesive narrative. All the important scenes were delivered great. The actors' performances are actually good especially the main casts. Even without lines, facial expressions and "stares" can already tell their emotions. I love how they portray tje roles effortlessly. The contrast of personality between the main leads helped balance the on screen interaction. The supporting casts were good as well. The cinematography is excellent for a mini series in BL genre. Korean film makers really know their craft. Digging the color grading. Sountrack for every scene is on point. Excellent mini series in my opinion. No unnecessary side stories, striking right to the core. Definitely a 10/10 rating.

The story gets 7/10 because I don't find it extraordinary - as it's a project, you can't really expect much. So it goes to the cast's acting to alleviate the story and make it watchable which they did.

That is why they get a solid 8.5/10. Han Gi Chan is a newbie and he really gave in his effort to make this project work. I am sure he will learn and grow in the industry, he is more of a director's actor type. He neither underperformed nor overdid, just right to complement Jang Eui Soo. Jang Eui Soo, has appeared in a lot of dramas so I was expecting nothing but the best from him, which he delivered.

The music is a 10/10 for this drama, it played a serious role for me to get into the drama and the scenes. The best of its kind music scores between scenes and the OST always made me sing along.

The rewatch value is 6/10 because I don't think I will feel the same emotions as I did while watching the drama for the first time. I was excited, expectant, confused, frustrated, fearful, doubtful - there are so many emotions to handle. I can't speak for everyone though, some may want to watch it over and over again.

My favourite character is Jung Seo In playing Hyemi's mother. She has got the fujoshi's eyes and watching her rooting for the boys was refreshing. My second favourite is character is Jeong Jae Hyun playing Pil Hyun, because he sold them off to Han Tae Joo's dad and that is the reason why the story took a beautiful turn in the end.

For those who craved and starved for skinship beyond the bout, they kissed! I won't say when but they did, it made me cry because this drama has the least amount of physical contact romantically.

The monologue of both Tae Joo and Kang Gook was touching and makes the most of the drama - I was very emotional over it. It is a lovely drama and a great recommendation for light love story.

The writing of this show was so good, it delivered the right emotions despite the episodes being only 10 minutes, with this great ending a season 2 would be great, we saw how the relationship began and I'd love to see how it evolves! I loved season 1 so much, the acting was so good! The directors and actors were meticulos in the smallest things such as slight face expression chenge to accurately potray the feelings. I really want to see their relationship evolve now that they are finally together! But I am also curious of their stories, particularly TaeJoo's mum, it seems like she was special to him and I'd really lime to know more!

It has a great story i love the chemistry the actors brought just in the first episode. Am not one to be carried away by content but just in 1 EP alone i was able to have such love for the main roles. And sincerely speaking am mesmerized by how much into character each one of them was i am hopping for a good run on this one and i will see to it that i encourage my friends to watch this its one of those bl series you can rewatch over and over again. This is going to be even better than long-time No See i have a feeling about it am impressed. And trust me i don't easily get impressed.

Could Not Watch

The YouTube videos were trashed. It was as if someone had re-edited the episodes so they could focus on close-ups of the eyes or mouth - but that screwed with the timing and subtitles so none of it was in sync. It also seemed to ruin the sound, as dialogue was distorted. Seemed like it might have been enjoyable, but it was too difficult to watch in this edited version. Too bad. Maybe I will try again if someone uploads a different version xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx

Comecei a ver esse drama aleatoriamente, descobri que ele estava no ar por aqui mesmo, e valeu muito a pena. Embora alguns aspectos da personalidade do Tae Joo tenham me incomodado, a história dele com Gang Cook é muito adorável. Ao longo dos episódios você vê claramente que os sentimentos que têm um pelo outro são muito fortes.
Num geral, por ser um drama curtinho, achei muito bem planejado. A trilha sonora também é ótima. E, o melhor, Hye Mi não ficou como vilã da história, e é uma das coisas que mais espero ver em BLs, a mulher da história não ser demonizada apenas por estar ali e acabar gostando de um dos personagens principais em algum momento. Aliás, a mãe dela é uma fofa também!

10/10 I really in love with the whole series. I want more.

I was so damn excited to watch this ever since I heard about this, especially since it is sort of the first focused BL K-drama! Watched all the 8 episodes. And I can guarantee that this is one of the best kdrama series ever.The story is set up nicely and the characters, their relationship, possible obstacles and scenes are arranged in the most beautiful way.Since the series is quite short, thrusting us right into the middle of their relationship is smart. The production is on point and the cinematography is sharp and clean. The acting is also top-notch.i got in to Han Chi recently and I know how good he is. And Jang Eui is one my favourite characters in other drama he acted.i always wanted to see him as the lead.The chemistry/tension between the two leads is palpable and the ending is so damn beautiful and emotional.
I really hope that this series get the recognition it deserves.
If it does, then hopefully we'll get to see more BLk-dramas in future. I really want people to give this a try. The actors and the whole crew deserves the best for stepping up an new milestone in the Korean entertainment industry.

Petição para a Coréia fazer séries mais longas

Sobre a história: como sempre, o pecado coreano é fazer tudo muito curto, portanto muitas coisas ficam no ar, sem explicação lógica, enfim... o enfoque é exclusivo no casal principal, porém suas histórias individuais são esquecidas e/ou não explicadas, o que algumas vezes me deixa curiosa. Não existe um aprofundamento psicológico dos personagens.

O roteiro é bom, apesar do que expus acima. A direção é boa, as locações, a fotografia e a ost são lindas, e os atores além de lindos tem uma química fantástica, existe uma tensão sexual quase palpável desde o primeiro episódio. O fato da garota também não ser rotulada como a megera também foi bem legal, aliás, ela e a mãe foram uns amores.

Minha única crítica é sobre os pontos em aberto, sobre as famílias, os negócios, porquê foi tão fácil fugir do pai e se encontrar com o amado no fim de tudo (se ele rastreou com o GPS o pai poderia ter feito pior), enfim, detalhes que enriqueceriam a trama.

No mais, amo essa série, já assisti várias vezes e com certeza recomendo. Quem ainda não viu, aconselho ver a versão filme, e se deliciar com pouco mais de uma hora de fofura.

Um Quase Bromance Coreano

Sinceramente, esperava mais desse final, foi bom somente, nada grandioso ou tão tocante quanto o penúltimo episódio. Ainda pra mim ficaram algumas coisas sem sentido ou sem explicação, mas pra uma série de 8 episódios de 10 min, não posso reclamar. Acho que foi o BL mais rápido que assisti rsrsrsrs. Minha nota vai ser um 7 pela fotografia, trilha sonora, atuação e poesia que só os coreanos sabem transmitir em suas séries. É uma série boa pra se distrair, naõ chega a ser um BL Full Conforto e arrisco dizer que se não fosse pelo beijo no final, a série poderia ser definida como um Bromance leve e delicado.

FANTASTICA

Pensé que por ser una serie corta (o película fragmentada) tendría fallos o falta de trama o argumento, pero no.

La trama es concisa: relación amo/guardaespaldas pero de chicos de bachillerato. Me gusta la edad elejida, ya que le da cierta seriedad a la trama sin ser un amor adulto, ni tampoco de instituto. Tiene alguna trama secundaria, que para mi gusto, se quedan flojas, pero las usan para el desarrollo de la trama principal, así que tampoco opacan el resultado general.

La actuación de los personajes, así como el cast, está bien conseguido. Te crees lo que dicen los personajes (los principales sobre todo), vives el drama con ellos, además que es una trama bastante seria. También me resultan bien elegida la pareja principal, los personajes resultan lindos y coherentes con sus personalidades, que además están bien desarrolladas.

Es cierto que no desarrollan en exceso el bacground de los personajes, más allá de algunas líneas, pero resulta suficiciente para llevarte por la historia, y sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que es una serie de dura hora y media.

Me ha gustado que no cuenta con demasiados clichés, y los que tiene, están bastante bien integrados en la trama.

¿Me la volvería a ver? Si, seguramente si ¿La recomiendo? Totalmente, si te gustan los dramas algo más "serios" y lacrimógenos, este es el tuyo.
