A Solução Luminosa (2023)

Um Sofrimento Sem Final Feliz

Seguindo a recomendação de alguns colegas, decidi assistir a este Boys Love e admito que tive certa dificuldade em compreendê-lo. No entanto, posso afirmar que a série vai muito além de um simples romance entre rapazes; é uma narrativa complexa e emocionante que aborda temas significativos.

Os protagonistas possuem uma química incrível e demonstram grande talento em suas atuações. Para quem aprecia histórias ricas e envolventes, com um toque de romance, essa série é uma excelente escolha.

Críticas positivas:

A conexão entre os atores é realmente impressionante! Eles transmitem uma forte sintonia que torna impossível não se apaixonar por suas performances. A trama é intrincada e cheia de reviravoltas surpreendentes que mantêm o espectador em suspense. Os personagens são bem elaborados, com uma profundidade que é rara em produções do gênero. Além disso, a série discute temas importantes, como aceitação e amor-próprio, de uma forma muito eficaz.

Críticas negativas:

Por outro lado, a série inicia de maneira um pouco confusa, dificultando a compreensão do enredo em seus primeiros momentos. Os personagens secundários também carecem de desenvolvimento, parecendo meramente decorativos. O ritmo é, em certos momentos, lento, e alguns episódios se estendem além do necessário. O desfecho, além disso, é um tanto abrupto e não resolve todas as questões levantadas ao longo da trama.

The Confusing/Boring Solution (interesting premise let down by poor writing/editing)

Overall: although episode 6 finally explained things, they ruined Ryou/Mai. It could have been a masterpiece with solid writing but I regret watching this. Aired uncut on GagaOOLala (1st episode was 1hr11min), cut on YouTube PTG Entertainment channel (1st episode was 45min). September 2024 they released the uncut version on their YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLwO0HIPrzVqg8pOveOEbzGzubh0XVs7D&si=YWn1lSeK9Yv-oWbn I watched the uncut version.

Important Plot Points to Know
- the very first scene is a flashback, there are flashbacks several times but they don't indicate they are flashbacks, the woman in the flashback is a character in the present
- the sandwich dude is playing two characters, himself in the present and his dad in the past
- the world building is explained in the final episode

Content Warnings: non con touching/attempted rape, punch, bullying, manhandling, non con turned consensual, slap, manipulation

What I Liked
- an established couple with realistic relationship issues
- decent solo NSFW scene (only in uncut version)
- camerawork where everyone else moves at a faster speed but the main character doesn't, to show how he's stuck
- the high school storyline up until the 2nd half of episode 5

Room For Improvement
- the way it started was confusing (note, this is a flashback)
- scenes jump with no explanation of how a character got there/when, for example, when/why/how did he get that business card? they never show the one guy being locked in the locker room? (explained in ep 6) why does Patis get a key from that nurse? why didn't they actually show the wish asking scenes in more detail (explained in ep 6)
- they needed to do more world building/hints prior to episode 6, they should not have included that grocery store scene
- episode 6 ruined Mai/Ryou, Mai should have stopped right away, also Ryou's wish was so awful, so we don't even know if the love was real or just because of the wish
- I don't want Thana and Patis together for many reasons
- I'm not sold on that level of tame kissing with an established couple and then how Patis is reluctant many times
- stupid wishes, why ask for a job when you can ask for a trillion dollars???
- cliche female character
- the pink transition effect was distracting
- open ending
- confused why they age restricted their youtube episode themselves as the cut version doesn't have anything in it that warrants being age restricted
- episodes are odd/out of order on their youtube channel
