Low budget gay historical TV series
Just like the headline says, that's about it.
Just like with all the LGBT content we are getting from S.Korea, even this drama is low budget and it shows tremendously. The plot itself is very fascinating and I believe if they had bigger budget, more screen time and maybe even better script-writer this TV series could have done well.
The acting of ML that came from the present was done well and that may surprise many, since originally he is a singer, not an actor and the paradox of this piece is, that a singer acted better than people who are originally actors. Yeah, you can feel that through my words I am touching the whole prejudice about acting idols - well, here I am to prove, that idols can oftentimes act better than actors.
The characters were not built well, we basically know close to 0 about them, so this drama honestly just focuses on the romantic aspect, which honestly, came out of nowhere. Just kiss and BOOM - we got a couple. There is really no build up to being a couple, it just happens.
As I said the plot is really something different and if nourished it could have bloomed nicely, but because of the reasons I have mentioned the whole idea was swept under the rug. If I were to compare it to some other case where low budget killed the plot, but later got revived it should be a drama called The Silent Sea. It also started from a short movie with dope plot base, but because of the budget couldn't bloom, but years later when the budget got a lot bigger the outcome became a jewel - at least for me.
Who knows if S.Korea is heading this way as well - produce low budget series only to redo it years later with bigger budget.
The only good aspect - at least for me - was the music and partically the song from one of the ML actors. It was soft and just suited the atmosphere, but that's it.
You may be asking, why am I constantly watching low budget LGBT TV series, well here is my answer - it is short and good to kill time, alsooooooo sometimes I do find a jewel.
