BL Drama Lovers Club

Day 18 :

BL drama that was a major let down - All of HIStory1

I don't know... maybe I expected more? It kind of makes me apprehensive to watch the rest of the seasons- though I did watch LBC2 & TT2 even though I initially didn't plan to (they were also kind of disappointing)... welp.

Day 18:  BL Drama that Was A Major Letdown:

1) Rainbow Prince(Philippines)- Oh boy that was a freaking mess from the bad acting down to the cheesiness of it to the horrible script. When I saw the trailer I was so excited: a fairytale musical, sounds cool right? ERRR nope. That thing was atrocious, I could tell that it was gonna be bad just from the first episode. And ,from there it got worse and worse.  I ended up giving it a 3.5 overall. I was very disappointed because I thought I was gonna love this from the trailer and nope I think this is one of my most hated BL series that I ever watched: Just no. Ok, the actors, esp Adrian were eye candy but that wasn't enough to save this mess. I regret watching this.

2) Enchante- Another one I was so excited for. When I saw the mock trailer back in 2020  it became one of my most anticipated series for 2021.  I kept counting down the days til we got an airdate.  Boy was I in for disappointment. It started out well enough: cute and romantic. I felt like Book and Force had great chemistry and I loved Force's character.  I was pretty much enjoying it and looked forward to every Friday. Somewhere around ep 9 though everything fell apart. When ep 8 aired I thought to myself: this feels like the finale, how are they gonna wrap up the last two episodes?  Well  it seems like the writers had no idea. I mean they threw in the dumbest drama they could to seperate Akk and Theo.  Plus, the writing made Theo so unlikable the last two episodes, not that he was that likable to begin with, that I really didn't want him to end up with Akk. The finale ruined the series and made me wish I hadn't wasted time on this series at all. 

There you go two series that I was really looking forward to but ended up being big disappointments, sadly. 

I didn't even try with Love by Chance 2. Once I learned that Saint wasn't gonna be in it, I didn't care. Good thing because from what I read it was horrible. I spared myself that at least :). 

Day 18:  BL Drama that Was A Major Letdown:  

Love by Chance 2.. this was so bad :-( I really enjoyed Season 1 and then they came with this mess..

Honorable mention because i dropped it at Episode 8 or 9: Capture Lover XD this was so bad. 

They just not even tried after 2 Episodes to synchronize the Voiceover right 

Day 18 - Biggest Let Down

I agree with everyone putting Love By Chance 2. Especially @Blkittykat, 100% agree. 

I have one that i think people will find a bit controversial Tale of a Thousand Stars......now hear me out before you drag me to filth.  Overall was it a bad BL, no. However, I found that it kept building up the anticipation for a Kiss/Intimate scene that never happened so each episode i felt let down. And when we finally did get a kiss, it was on the forehead after saying wait for me for an unspecified number of years.......yeah sure ok......

I get that its about falling in love and not lust and a deeper bond/commitment but I just felt really let down. 

@Chatterton Pepito, I couldn't agree with you more!

 Gen Y 2 was a mess and the only way I could finish it was to play it on 2× speed.

Paint with Love... Oof. All I could think about when I was watching it was that Tae and Singto had no chemistry. The premise sounded really interesting, but oh no! It was an ordeal to finish.

Day 18 BL drama that was a Major Letdown:

To be honest I'm not that picky when I watch shows if I honestly don't like something I just stop watching it. A drama I did that with was Baker Boys I loved all the actors in the show so much but I just couldn't keep my attention on the show and eventually just gave up with it. If you all think baker boys is worth trying to watch I'll try and watch it again but for now, I'm just going to leave it.

 Blkittykat:

My opinion would be that it wasn't much of anything. It wasn't so good that I can't stop talking about it, nor was it so bad that I vehemently dislike it. If you like the actors in it, I would suggest you give it another chance, but if you can't get yourself to like it even after that, then you can drop the series.

Ok thank you I'm watching a lot of dramas right now so I'm going to watch them first then I'll give Baker Boys a second chance and I will tell you what I think.
