Needs more creativity in story telling
Pretty much the same story as their others. The formula is the same, they discover they have feelings, kiss, they get together, someone kisses someone else, they break up then get back together during the last 3 minutes of the final episode, and end with a kiss. They need to go back to the story board and think of other stories they can tell that doesn't involve cheating. And also not have the same actor playing the same bad guy role.The production quality is good and the acting is superb just needs to be more creative with the story telling. If this is your disputation of gay life then you're putting a negative cogitation on gay culture and gay relationships.

Brings Blue Boys and Bad Guy together in a new drama
So I watched Blue Boys, Blue Boys Part 2 and Bad Guy - I'm enjoying Sukfilms except they are too shortEpisodes are 8 to 12 minutes each !
They use the same actors which I love. They're giving Strongberry vibes in terms of the quality of the storylines as well.
In this one we have 3 friends and some confusion as to who Dae Young is really into . The plot thickens!
You can watch the first two episodes plus a teaser (episode 0/8 ) on Youtube already
I'll update as we go along.

wished for a better plot for these great actors (watch suggestions)
Overall: SUKFILM does some things really well such as chemistry/tension. However, the love triangles/cheating bog the series down. Aired 8 episodes about 10 minutes each https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYfaogVGCvwQ_32A8H9oWjdEtXVTWcrja&si=212BSBvITHARKx3G I am watched the cut version, the uncut has longer kissing scenes.Content Warning: dub con kissing turned consensual?, non con kiss, manipulation, unwanted public outing
Watch Suggestions (to avoid cheating. love triangles and an evil ex)
- watch episode 1 and end it at 9:55
- skip episode 2
- watch episode 3 beginning to 45s, 5:15-7:40, 9:35-end
- watch episode 4 beginning to 1m and 6:40-end
- stop episode 5 at 2 minutes
- skip episodes 6 & 7
- watch episode 8 7:40-end
What I Liked
- acting/chemistry/tension
- visuals
- sweet moment with the first aid
- music (except that the singing was too loud during scenes with dialog)
- a character actually had a decent plan in episode 8
Room For Improvement
- the cliched woman character (which I think has appeared in all 3 of their BLs)
- one character is kind of a jerk/cheater (this is also a running theme in their BLs)
- I can't really be happy with the couple because I don't trust that there won't be cheating in the future

Quizá no es buena idea seguir con esta fórmula
Me preocupa decir que la fórmula que hace tan buenas a Blue Boys o Bad Guy, que implica poner todo el peso de las narrativas en la capacidad actoral de los protagonistas, pueda ser una estrategia que no llegue muy lejos si todas las historias siguen la misma dinámica de sota, caballo y rey.¿Que ha sido muy buena idea coger a Jeong Riu y a Choi Seungjin para que trabajasen juntos? Tremenda. ¿Que este último es un actorazo tremendo y que mantienen una muy buena química entre ambos? También. ¿Que Sukfilm tiene que buscar otra estrategia de financiación si quiere que sus producciones lleguen a nuevas cotas? Desgraciadamente, tercer sí.
La serie es muy buena, eh, pero siguiendo una estela de producciones en el mismo año... quizá narrativamente sea la más floja.
