What do I say about this?
Am I happy or am I angry? I really loved the MC, I think their scenes are just perfect and I think the development of their relationship was incredible. I would watch this again and again without being tired. I was really angry that they ended the series without telling anything about Yeon Woo's mom disappearance. I hope they make a season 2 and explained what happened because I really wanted to know. Well I think this drama was awesome and I would definitely watch this again. If you want to watch something cute I recommend this drama but if you are really into mistery I think you're not gonna like this because they completely forgot about the mistery in the drama. I'm sorry if my english isn't perfect, I'm form Portugal and I'm better at talking than writting in english.Was this review helpful to you?
The most precious BL i saw
The moment i saw the 1st ep i fell in love, with the actor's visuals and acting. Every week i was looking for a new ep to come out. The OST is absolutely beautiful, i can feel the singers emotions in it . The visuals in the series and locations are perfect and they show the vibe of the sence. The story itself and the whole idea of color blindness is unique and interesting. We can see how the chemistry between the actor's and character's grown as time went by. I would definitely watch again and i highly recommend :) sorry for my poor English i tried my bestWas this review helpful to you?
Amazing
This was an amazing drama that you can finish quick but still love I have watch a lot of dramas and this is in my top 5. I would love if it was longer or if they would make another season the boys as the main characters went great together and had great chemistry. The story line was something very new that I have never seen before plus it was amazingly written. It’s not one of those dramas that just drags things out for a few episodes this makes sure that you are interested throughout the whole entire showWas this review helpful to you?
Reworking the Soulmate trope
I thought it was really good. Korean BL's are actually much shorter than this usually. Most are at most 12 minutes an episode with having 6-8 eps in a season. So I'm happy they were at least 15 minutes per episode. Even though I find episode length/amount per season a bit frustrating, I know Korea has to start somewhere with their BL's. I do think elements needed to be explored more fully and that might lose some people (the missing monos and missing mom left pretty ambiguous in the end). Overall though the chemistry, the color rush visual and story were beautiful and captivating. I liked them exploring the obsession mono's feel towards their probes. I liked it. I'm a big rewatcher so I know this is a series I'd end up rewatching. I'm gonna hope for a 2nd season, but that doesn't seem to be very common in Korean shows so I won't get my hopes up too high.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best I've seen
I love the story really a lot. It's not an unusual concept in kdramas, that they are special to each other, but in BLs where always all are about engineers or doctors, then, well, probe and mono are something new.I really hope that there will be a second season because the last episode left a lot of unanswered questions, but guess I can read the novel too to get answers early.
I can honestly say that I will rewatch it, probably many times, lamenting how short the story is.
And despite the actors being relatively new, they pulled it really heroically. The main Yeonwoo, I could really belive he that he had no other choice than to do it. And Yoohan's actor was the same. steady perfomances slightly getting better towards the end :)
For me this drama was something I had really enjoyed watching and I'm looking forward to second season, hoping that it would be now full-length.

MORE!
It's another Korean mini BL series. I mean, WHY? The plot about a mono and a probe is interestingly new and very promising. It could have been a great way to play with the story if it was in regular full-length series. So what happened was it became obviously shortened with many gaps and other angles not given a shed of light, leaving the viewers many questions in mind. I wish a bit more background was given about the early days of having color blindness and face blindness for both of the main leads. What about the progress of the search for the mom who was a mono, too? What really happened the day she went missing? What was the images about her underwater? I guess this is the result of having the series short. But it also gives us a hint of a very big possibility of having seasons.Korea joined the BL world by starting short series with different main leads. It's good that they are giving chances to other actors to show their potentials and each drama recently released were given justice. I just hope that they won't end in just one series but take this as a starting point to have more projects like in Thai BL where the main ships were given series of projects.
The actors in this series can be considered reasonably good. Perhaps they were originally idols and not actors. If given the chance to do more projects though, I believe they'll do it better. Practice makes perfect, we say. But the chemistry is really effective.
Again, I hope there will be a next season and all questions that were left unanswered be cleared then.

The colors of my world, are also colors of his world.
Okay, so first I'm saying that this is one of my fave short BL drama ever!STORY
I had no idea how the concept of colors may turned into something very pleasing to both my eyes and heart. It was new for me and I love it. I do really like a lot the idea of MONO's and PROBE's. I'm surely know that if it is a full length drama, they can give us more. The flow of the story is so good and I also love how they educate me of the different color shades and variants. They even did a good job on writing the lines cause I really do enjoy it a lot. I'm just hoping that they didn't have to let Yoo Han become a person with face blindness as a twist cause it's not really needed. I mean if I am Yoo Jun, maybe I doubted Yoo Han intentions, cause I will think that the only reason he likes me is because I am the only one he can fully see a face. But well, overall the concept was a top tier for me.
ACTING or CAST
Hmmm. Some people say that Hyun Jun acting is stiff and robotic but I don't agree with them. Yes, at some point I found him kind of loss with the acting but it is just for a few moment and I guess it is also suitable for his role, as a guy who always wear mask, hmmm mysterious like that. Then we have, Yoo Jun, I don't have anything bad to say about his acting cause he slay it. For being a student who builds wall around him to turning his soft sides with Hyun Jun. He's literally good and deliver his role perfectly. I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CHEMISTRY. I can feel, I even scream for few of their scenes, and most importantly I enjoy it. Butterflies in my stomach!!
MUSIC
The moment I hear that opening song, I already go to Spotify and add it to my playlist cause it's so very beautiful. OST is one of the reason on why this drama is a must!
This time, this love... I'm singing right now hahahaha
Overall, I give this a 10/10 rating cause they deserve it. For a 8 episodes drama with 15 mins duration, this drama fulfill the goal of making the viewers fall in love with them. One of the best Korean BL I've ever watched! Thank you for allowing us to enter the world where MONO's and PROBE's exist. Just like Yoo Jun statement's in the last episode "The world of colors is infinite, just like one's love for another." I hope you, the one reading this review, may also find the perfect person who will give a aesthetically beautiful color to you life cause I know we do all deserve someone who will treat us perfectly.
I love you, Color Rush.

Great concept but needs longer episodes
The whole storyline is honestly really unique, I already knew that I would like the show when I read the title. Everything hooked me in, but there was a huge problem due to the shortness of the episodes. There wasn’t enough time for it to develop the relationship properly and made the couple more revolved around the concept of them being a mono and a prove, or the plot of the missing mom. I also felt that the characters fell short for me, they could’ve had some more personality to them, but maybe that’s also because of the short episodes. Overall, great concept, amazing OST (plus where the heck is the music for the color rushes,) cool visual effects, and pretty good acting.Was this review helpful to you?
Such a good story
Short but incredibly sweet , loved the whole concept and the acting was actually really good.The idea of a completely grey world scares me too so I really felt the protagonist's pain. Kinda left me hanging with the whole "my mother disappeared but we dont talk about it " thing, so I hope they will have a season two so they can explain it. The guy possesed with the grandfather ghost? I was really lost on that part lmao, I think they could have left that out.
I would recommend this series to beginners in the BL world.
Also completely random thought but Yoo Han 's voice is incrediblt soothing

What it is to be different
What an unusual and touching story. The loneliness and alienation felt by someone who only sees in mono can probably be well understood by anyone suffering a condition that sets them apart from the norm. For others it is a poignant insight into that loneliness.I loved the cast and characters, which were fresh and natural.
I'm sure it would be welcomed by those who enjoyed this story, if the writers and producers felt it successful enough to expand on the plot and give us a full length drama that covered the characters' own stories that led up to their meeting, the search and investigation into Yeon Woo's mother and the evolving relationship between Yeon Woo and Yoo Han.
The 'R' rating is a mystery to me. I get that a same sex couple may be taboo, but the content really didn't warrant it. Gay relationships should be seen as a natural part of life in this day and age, especially in a progressive and modern country, and when it is portrayed as delicately as this.
Trigger warning for attempted suicide.

I was completely blown away!
This is my first time writing a review so keep in mind it might not be the best!STORY
I've watched quite a few BLs before Color Rush and only a few of them stood out with such an interesting storyline. Color Rush was definitely one of the most unique storylines I've witnessed. The plot was well-executed even in the few short episodes. However, there were a few holes left, but that isn't that big of a problem. I'm still hoping for a season 2, cause I believe that the story and the directors/producers have the capability of making it happen. Also, I enjoyed the story cause the plot wasn't too complicated and hard to understand; yes, there might have been some suspenseful moments, but most of the scenes were something that will put your mind to ease. Overall: 9.5/10
ACTING/CAST
To be honest, I'd started watching this drama just because of Hyunjun, but I was totally amazed by the rest of the actors and the chemistry between the two leads. Both leads did a great job in acting out their roles. I gave the ACTING/CAST section a 10/10 rating, but if I could give it an 11, I definitely would.
MUSIC
First of all, every k-drama soundtrack is absolute gold. This one is no exception. The moment I heard "FINDING YOU" and "COLOR RUSH" I fell in love with the songs. 10000/10 tbh.
REWATCH VALUE
Well, since I've already rewatched it 2 times, and was equally amazed every time, I would say that the rewatch value is pretty high. If you ask me, it's definitely worth rewatching.
