ONLY FINISHED CUZ ITS SO SHORT
One of the worst series I've ever seen, BL or otherwise.
Gun's character is horrible. As others have stated, he does not understand personal boundaries, is far too clingy and possessive, rude to people for no reason, never listens to his love interest or takes his feelings into account and comes off as potentially the worst BF in history. Ugh. Even if he was truly goodlooking, which everyone claims but... NO, this behavior would not be acceptable. And it's certainly no way to win over someone who claims to be straight.
The script is just the worst. In one scene, the characters repeat themselves 10 times. "I like you." Well, I like you", :That's good cuz I like you." "Well you better cuz I like you". WHAT? From Episode 1 Gun is clear in his intentions and feelings and it does not change throughout. There is ZERO tension, zero growth.
There is no motivation for Bar to suddenly flip teams and give into Gun. It's not like he's been treating him well. And it happens in an instant. If all it takes to win this guy's affections and turn him from women to men is attention, then you've got a shallow character. Put some effort into it, guys.
The acting is wooden, stiff, amateurish at best. Gun has zero appeal. Bar is cute and has one nice moment where he almost tears up, talking about how scared he is - but other than that they don't ask him to dig deep enough into this conflicted character. I think he may have more potential if he had a better script and director. Short is my favorite body type, so I was all in! Chemistry? Not from Gun. I believed that Folk/Bar was enamored when he looked at Gun. But together they did not make any sparks fly.
I did like the friends. And all were better actors than the leads.
Okay, so for some reason you hire this guy to play Gun - and he's a bit flabby with sagging pecs and little tummy. Don't have people talk about how muscular he is. Just cut those lines. What do they add anyway? I'm not saying the actor is bad looking. He's just not what they say he is. People fall in love with average looking dudes every day, so since you cast this guy just let him be an average looking guy. You don't even have to write ANY dialogue about his looks. Maybe try to create a personality for him. That's what people REALLY fall in love with.
Episode 4 has no purpose at all. And there's this great exchange, "I will tell them at the assembly tomorrow. Can you come?" "Stop teasing me. When I'm brave enough I will kiss him in front of you." I'm sure there's a translation problem otherwise I will have to assume brain hemmorage. And then it just ends. Thankfully.
DO NOT BOTHER.
