My heart bloomed

One of the most beautiful KBL with heart warming story and charismatic actors.. This series really deserve a great applause ?
The story itself magnificent because I already read the manhwa before this series so of course I was waiting for it and my waiting worth it..
Specially thanks to Directer, she really has chosen beautiful cinematography and made this series more blooming...
The actors here are also well organised and the chemistry between two protagonists are really make my cheeks blush

I really love this series sooooooo much ??❤️

AMAZING!!!!!

This bl series knocked it out of the park honestly. Now my top Korean bl.
The story line is amazing you won't even know you're almost done with an episode till you're done and all that you feel is to move on quickly to the next one.
It is very realistic. No stereotypes, no discovering sexuality, no scenes where parents are again being gay it's just a pure story of two regular guys which would be anyone's life.
Honestly don't sleep on this.
It is amazing.
Kudos to the cast and crew!!!

Most realistic drama out there

This drama did something indescribable to me and made me so attached to is immediately
I‘ve never watched a drama as realistic this one
Everything was delivered so well and authentic that it sometimes felt like I was watching into someone’s real life
The actors dis such an amazing performance and I could feel every single emotion they wanted to deliver
I also loved the plot because there was no unnecessary drama ore stereotyped just two boys who follow their heart without much hesitation and I feel like that‘s what made it so realistic
also they intimate scenes gave me butterfly’s because they were so well executed
I won‘t say anymore than that you are really missing out on something If you don‘t watch it right now
-bye I‘m gonna rewatch it again:)-

Good

i run away from this series so much and I still don't know why, when I started, I think "It's too slow, another short KR-Bl" but dammit this is so awesome. In all the aspects, It's simple but super sensible and so well tought out. A real monument. The story is simple because dawon and siwon are simple. You only need one ep to fall in love with them.
The acting is so well for such a young age, not just the main role but the lead roles too. The soundtrack is sweet, such good songs to hear when you start your day. The production was good too, nothing bad to point out. the rewatch value is pretty high, is something that you want to comeback always

Blueming is a must watch drama

Blueming is the bestest drama I've ever seen. I never seen a drama such like this. With a few episodes in it, I think the story and character development isn't feel like in rush and still stay in a pace. Their acting isn't bad although they're still a rookie actors. I think, all in this drama is almost perfect. The story between hyeong dawoon and cha siwon is the sincere love that makes me feels warm. I have rewatch this drama many times but I don't feel bored. Blueming is really a recommended drama.

T'was short but gold!

Oh wow, actually this is not a review but a appreciation letter XD... I think the short time duration of this series is not that bad because after I watched the whole series it feels like a movie that is cut and released accordingly. This series has a budget and they shoot every scenes beautifully ( I'm not a professional to say this but I really apprecite it T.T).

Story: It's better than I expected to be... A college bl definitely. It's not that deep but the story is good. 10/10

Acting; they are so good but I think I still need more emotion from them so it's 8/10 but since I rated this overall it's 10/10

ps: They have a chemistry, I enjoyed watching them, and I don't want to spoil the story because it's literally short I think 10-13 minutes only each episode except the final episode T.T....

Music: uhmm 10/10

Rewatch Value: Actually 7/10 but I want to balance the overall rating... I think I'm still gonna watch this someday...

If you want some sweet and not heavily drama I think this series suits you well... I still recommend this to everyone : )))

Nice topic brought into highlights

(English is not my first language so please excuse any mistakes)

After I finished it for the first time, I found it was a simple a short little story to bing watch, nothing Extraordinary, with actors who do their jobs and that's it. ( I reviewed it 7.5/10/

I decided to watch this series again few month after. And omg. Was i stupid or what?? This BL is absolutely incredible ! I must have been blind because it actually deals about toxic masculinity and the pressure and social judgement based on your looks in such a wonderful way ! Actors aren't just "good" they're fantastic ! Especially Eun Bin (si won) ! The scene with his mum is heartbreaking and I cried because he really touched me. Just thinking of it makes me emotional. Yes the format is still very short like a lot of Korean bl but I think it actually fits really good. Ofc I wouldn't have mind a bit longer episodes but I still totally recommend it !!

Not as good as I Had Hoped

I really thought something was wrong with me today, after seeing all the rave reviews and comments, and I just wasn't feeling what everyone else was feeling as I watched this series.

The chemistry between the two main actors was seriously lacking, one main bl was good with blank stares and apparently having difficulty speaking his mind, the other was antagonistic - for what reason? Because he wasn't the most popular? Then he suddenly likes his supposed competition? Not acted or directed in a manner that was believable.

The actors are competent, but they seemed to be directed to under react or overreact. The story line just didn't have enough drama, comedy or chemistry to make it interesting.

There were a few good scenes, the reason I didn't rate this lower, but this one has no rewatch value for me.

Beautifully done slice-of-life BL

I had heard good things about Blueming for so long, but put off watching it because of the format. I find that many Korean BLs with 15-min episodes fall victim to the same pitfall - there's simply not enough time to get things done. This one, however, surprised me by how much they were able to do with their short time frame.

Siwon has always been taught that the most important thing is how other people view you, which has made him overly insecure about how is perceived - his looks, his interests, etc. Most of the time, he comes off as charming and interesting, but a lot of what he says is actually just a facade so he retains this image of himself. However, Dawoon sees right through him. This makes Siwon anxious, and he really dislikes Dawoon for it. Once the two of them start to understand each other more, feelings between Dawoon and Siwon start to emerge.

Even though this is basically the length of a movie, they managed to convey so much in so little time. The conflicts surrounding both characters' personal lives, as well as their issues within film school, are very realistic without being overly complex, which makes them ideal for this show. I do think that the relationship aspect of the show would have benefitted greatly from more time, but overall the show was a really great short watch with a lovely romance between the main character. I ended up much more invested in them than I thought I would, and the ups and downs made this a fantastic watch.

This review may contain spoilers
At first, I wasn't too sure if I would like the drama, it took an ep or two to get going for me, but once it started peeling back the characters' layers, it got really interesting. Especially once we got into Si Won's background, as revealed by that spiteful older student.

What I really loved about this little drama was that both the main characters made mistakes - either they were knee-jerk reactions (Si Won) or good intentions going all bad and awry (Da Woon) - but they always owned up to them and apologized. Maybe not right away and maybe they had to stew about them for a while but they always did. Communication, what a marvelous thing!

Also, for two newbie actors, they were really good and I hope we will get to see them in more dramas soon. Especially Jo Hyuk Joon got to me with his deep, smooth voice. What a voice that was!

Sweet BL story about growth, acceptance and self-confidence

A sweet BL drama with a consistently sensical storyline and clear writing choices. It was a more quiet show reflecting on rather deep topics such as acceptance, self-confidence, rumours and doubts.

The story, built around a central conflict, was paced quite well. Even though it is a short series (11 episodes of about 15 minutes), it managed to show appealing characters developments and also to provide appropriate context to the viewer to understand some of the emotional injuries sustained by the leads. Too bad that given the length of the series, it was not possible to develop deeper some of the interesting secondary characters.

The acting was okay. The chemistry between the actors could have been a bit better but they still had quite a bit of very cute moments supported by a nice soundtrack and good film making direction. After a first half quite platonic, the second part of the show increase the speed of their relationship in an organic and natural way, still staying on the soft side. This made perfect sense in this atmospheric and melancholic drama.

I would recommend this to people looking for a more profound BL romance and that do not mind watching a show with a more subdued ambience.
