Good enough; could have been so much better

Dangerous Romance had all the ingredients for a fantastic BL feast so it feels sad that it didn't quite get there. PerthChimon have a playful, adoring chemistry. I can see it in the BTS and their live events. They nailed the confession scene in the rain, the the sweet cheek kisses on the bench and basically anytime they look or touch each other. They could not, however, sell the intimate scenes. Sorry, but Chimon can't deliver a passionate kiss. He is a fantastic actor but we all have our handicaps so maybe more workshops or use a different camera angle altogether. The two of them staring into each others' soul or the warm hugs were far more effective than the awkward kiss. It would have worked better if they intentionally showed a fumbling teenage kiss for that matter. The way the relationship developed between KangSailom was quite disjointed. The bullying arc was excellent, they sadly rushed the friendhip arc and went overboard with the lovers arc. They could easily spend 5 episodes on the "are we friends or more?" stage and coincidentally, PerthChimon give off that vibe perfectly. I could not get enough of the soundtrack but they used too many flashbacks in this series. The danger portion of the plot was a complete let-down and there were one too many plot holes. I love the second couple and the rest of the friend group. I just wished they spent more time on polishing the adapted script and the editing but overall, I did enjoy watching this series.
