Seeing BL Actors Outside BL — 9/10
I actually started watching *Leap Day* because of the **leads**. I don't usually watch many mystery series, and I already knew this wasn't a BL. But that was exactly what made me curious — I wanted to see **how these actors would perform outside a BL**.
And honestly, they really did their best. 👏
The story is somewhat **new and different in its own way**, and even though mystery isn't normally my type, the series kept me watching. I thought I might stop after a few episodes, but it wasn't boring at all. Once I started, I genuinely wanted to know what would happen next.
### 🎭 Gun
**Gun was amazing.** For me, he really carried the character extremely well.
It wasn't just about delivering lines — his **execution of the character, expressions and emotions** made the character feel believable. He really led the series with his acting
### ❤️ Pond
I also have to say that **Pond has improved a LOT** compared with his previous work.
What surprised me most was the final episode. He actually **made me cry**. 🥹 That showed me that he can create emotion through his acting even outside the BL genre.
I also liked the way the relationship between Gun and Pond's characters was built. Their connection developed well, and you could feel **affection, care and love** between them. I saw affection and genuine love in the relationship that the story wanted to show.
And that made me appreciate them more as individual actors. They are both BL actors who have their own CPs, but here they showed that they can work together **without depending on BL chemistry**.
That was actually one of the main reasons I enjoyed watching this.
### 😍 Dew
I've seen Dew's previous work, so I already had some idea of him as an actor.
In *Leap Day*, I felt that he was **trying his best to fit the character**. He is honestly very handsome 😭, and I could see the effort he put into the role.
I still have my own thoughts about his acting compared with his previous work, but for this character, I think he genuinely tried his best.
🎭 **Gun:** Amazing — excellent character execution
❤️ **Pond:** Huge improvement; emotional performance
😍 **Dew:** Handsome and genuinely tried his best
📖 **Story:** New/different and interesting
🕵️ **Mystery:** Not my usual genre, but it kept me watching
❤️🩹 **Gun & Pond relationship:** Affection and love, but not BL-style romantic desire
😴 **Boring:** Not at all
🥹 **Emotional impact:** Definitely there
⭐ Overall: **9/10**
