DAY 18 - BL DRAMA THAT WAS A MAJOR LET DOWN
1. Enchanté - I was really looking forward to this because the idea of five guys going after the mc and not knowing who enchante is excited it. The trailer looked great, but they spoiled it by showing who the mc will end up with. They destroyed Theo's character development. It just because a boring and crappy show by the end.
2. 2gether - I was interested in this because the ratings were so high. The first half was decent, but when the ml's got together, all the chemistry they had in the beginning was gone. They acting was stiff, like they were forced to act together. I don't care if there's no kiss or skinship, but there was no indication that they were boyfriends. You can show that you're dating without any skinship, but I didn't get it from 2gether.
3. Golden Blood - I was so excited for this because it had a different trope (mafia guy's son and his bodyguard). I was so looking forward to all the action and romance, but it turned out to be a big disappointment. I didn't like how the show treated the female characters. There was way too much damsel in distress. Gun's acting was not fun to watch and I just found the show cringy, so I dropped it.
4. (Idk if this counts as a Bl) Baker Boys - I watched the Korean version of this (Antique Bakery) and I really liked it. I had high hopes for the Thai version too, but I feel like they just butchered the whole story. The murder mystery part of the show was nonsense. For me personally, Singto did not really have the whole playboy who attracts everyone vibe (but he is a good actor). The journalist's character was annoying. I feel like the show just strayed way too much from the original Japanese version and the Korean version. The show tried to be different from the other two versions, but it was not a success for me.
