I begin this knowing that TharnType and Dark Blue Kiss are ongoing and Until We Meet Again will soon coming out.
I write that headline too after watching a lot of BL dramas in the last 3 months, and even i've rewatched this series again before writing this review. But don't 100% objetive review because i can't. This series made me feel so many emotions that i don't believe i can be very objetive in terms of storyline at least but I'll give it try,
I recommend this series a lot, but have in mind that his series doesn't have a lot of happy moments, it has a lot of sad and frustrating moments, if you tend to cry then prepare some tissues.
Story: 9/10
- The Story is around a group of 4 friend... and one of them (Third) is secretly in love with another (Kai). The story centers around them, but there some side stories for the other two friends (Two & Bone).
Storywise it's simple, but a love how they approached it. The characters aren't perfect at all, they have a lot of flaws that makes them do a lot of mistakes, but those are flaws that exist in real life, i've seen people in those situations, and i've suffered a little of them too. Of course, this is a drama so they are a little bit exaggerated to make the drama flow, but it was well executed, well produced and edited.
It has some beautiful details, and uses its theme perfectly for the audience to understand (Comm arts Student & films), dnd last but not least, & the something that i really appreciate is that i didn't encounter an scene that was totally pointless or extremely long.
The only downside for some (but not me at least), is the frustration that the protagonist, specially Third, can produce to some people.
Acting/Cast 10/10
I can't say anything bad about the acting and cast.
Gun as Third - I can only praise his acting in this series. I could feel every emotion that Third felt. and was superb. I like his acting more than in Puppy Honey and there it was already good.
Off as Kai - His improvement was incredible. Sometimes he takes a goofy and funny character, and here Kai has something of that too, but it was more than that... he can make you hate Kai and his easygoing and selfish personality, and then you could understand him. I love his acting here a lot more.
White as Two - A good friend, but not a perfect one, and that was well portrayed, loved how his relationship evolved and the chemistry it forge. I can't go into more details without spoiling his story.
Mike as Bone - A lot of people didn't like his storyline and felt it pointless, but id didn't feel it that way... because thanks to it, it made you know how beautiful is Bone inside, and Mike portrayed that almost perfectly.
Earth as Aun - For some reason In a lot of his dramas i can't buy his character 100%, but here he convinced me a lot more. I won't go into details, because of spoilers.
Neen as Lyn, and Sara as Paan - they played their part very well both have roles in the side storylines, but they did a very good part. and liked especially Neen, she was very sweet.
Music 10/10
The OST is used perfectly... the opening and main theme are used a lot, but it didn't felt repetitive thanks to the variations of the songs. I love the OST of this series, and it portrays a lot of emotions in the scenes that are used. On Point.
Rewatch Value 10/10
i've always say that this has 50% objetive and 50% subjective part.
Objectively, thanks to its simply plot and that the series doesn't revolve in a mystery it facilitates the rewatch value. so 10. As for the subjective part.. it very rare that a series makes me wanna see it again ,an i want to see it a third time now. I even enjoyed more the second time than the first.
