Love in Translation: Uncut (2023)

Perfect pacing and full of light

I often get frustrated with dramas, especially BL storylines, that depend on toxic behaviours or situations to create tension or move the plot forward, and this has none of that. Even a plot line that is tense and has high stakes has a resolution that reflects kindness and cleverness as valuable. The leads have very natural chemistry, and in particular Yang is the very definition of heart eyes. They lean on lots of classic rom coms tropes but they feel cute and fresh rather than forced. Chick this series out.
