WE ARE SO SEXY
Okay, I finished this the other day and was sitting here holding my balls, waiting for it to be available on MyDramaList, and it's finally here, yayay. Okay, so I would give it a 7.5 out of 10, and then I am going to say what I liked and what I didn't, based on some notes I took lmao.
Starting off strong with things I liked: the actors. I don't think I have seen them in anything before, but we did our big one with this; I can't even lie. We are both so sexy, just different kinds of sexy, and I thought our acting really brought this short drama to life. We had good chemistry together, which is really hard to come by with Korean BL, ESPECIALLY short dramas, but they really exceeded my expectations for this.
Next up, I think the story is fun. I have only a couple to compare it to, but swimming dramas are always so boring, and maybe it's because I can't swim, so I don't really care for it, but this was a fun one. Their dynamic was kind of an enemies-to-lovers that bordered on abusive, but they were both into it, so that made it okay (right...). Yeah, just overall really fun.
Then the final thing I have in my notes for stuff I liked was the abuse. Okay, I am not into no fetish shit, I swear; I just thought it was good writing in terms of justifying why the evil one out of the pair was acting the way he did. Because it is how his dad treats him, so he thinks it's okay. Right, love to see some background development, especially for such a short show.
Switching over to things I didn't like, uh...I don't think swimming is ever that serious, oh my god. Why did that dad keep trying to kill the tired-looking one? Like, dude, actually back off; your son isn't even that good at swimming, lmao. WHY DIDN'T WE PUT THAT DUMB NIGGA IN THE DIRT? LIKE WHAT? FUCK THAT BITCH. THE DAD WAS SUCH AN UNNECESSARY HINDRANCE TO THE WHOLE SHOW, AND I FEEL LIKE WE COULD HAVE BROKEN HIS LEGS AND RAN AWAY, LIKE WHY ARE WE LETTING THIS OLD MAN BEAT ON US? I'M SO CONFUSED.
Following up on this, I have two things: one, why was the whole club mean to him? And two, why was everyone the dads' goon? I mean, we had a lot of coaches, and every single one of them was the dads' goon. He was just some guy who made it to the Olympics and then tore his shoulder; why did he have so much power? I am just lost. I feel like we could have written more with that and justified it, but we didn't, so I don't really care.
Well, I did like the plot, like actually a lot. The part with the swimming scholarship was so predictable and overdone; like, please, we need to do something else. I am begging. But no, all we want to do is play in my face and shit on my grave; I'm done.
Related to that part of the plot, once again, well, I did like the plot and thought it was fun, but the plot was actually overall pretty lackluster, and we didn't do a whole bunch and just had all this tension and chemistry just for us not to do SHIT. Girl bye.
Next up for things I didn't like was AI. I am pretty anti-AI, but it's hard not to see it now, but fuck, it was all in my face. Every time we showed a building, AI; the newspaper, AI; the pictures in his house, AI. GRANDMA'S FUCKING FUNERAL PICTURE WAS AI, BITCH, WHAT? Let me, girl, at least rest in my peace, my lord.
And lastly, the ending was incredibly mid, and I wish they wrote that out a little bit better, because I feel like, other than the things I complained about, this show had a lot of potential, and it just kind of ended very rushed, and I didn't really like that.
Okay, would I recommend this? Yes, and I am going to say the thing I say for all of these short dramas: if you already pay for it or are watching on some sus website, watch this, but if you don'tpay for it or don't dabble in sus websites because you are righteous, then don't; just find the guys' Instagram and ogle them there. Okay bye!
