A very real love story/Una historia de amor que se siente real

The story is not the most original neither the most interesting, is a friend's to lovers story, and it plays this "stereotype" very good and it feels real, there is this stage of the relationship were you don't want to risk anything, the stage were you said fuck it, even when it may mean to lost this person, the stage when you know you want more than just a friendship but you don't know what the other person wants, so you just play it cool and finally the stage where the 2 of them step in together into the relationship.

The actor have a good chemistry, I think they complement each other very well, and this is not related but the actor with the black air is fucking gorgeous and so pretty. Like I said it felt real, in terms of the reaction and how the character went with flow of the actions that took place in the series.

In terms of physical touch this drama is very light, which is good for me (I'm ace), because it reaffirms that the idea of love=sex is not for everyone and it doesn't have to be or maybe just that, that kind of things come later on, which is still a very healthy message. And if you looking for a lot of kisses and more, just know that it doesn't happen, but anyway don't let that push you away form this drama, because it is very BEAUTIFUL and fun to watch
It's not the best bl of the year, but is a good love story.

And a thing that rest points to the history for me, is how they never use the word gay or boyfriend, I hope it's not because of the stigma but, I just wanna called out.

I'm sorry for my english, has it not my first language there may be mistakes in the grammar.


Esta historia no es la más original ni interesante, es el cuento de amigos a pareja, tiene las tipicas cosas que esta historia suele tener, el dilema de si le digo a no, que al final si me digo, ahora hizo como si nada hubiera pasado, es medio incómodo pero no lo quiero perder y finalmente cuando se revela qué los sentimientos son mutuos.

Un punto a favor para esta historia es la quimica qué tienes los actores, se complementan bien y se ven lindos juntos. Me gusta que no sea la típica dinámica del tipo grande y el otro pasivo qué siempre sufre. Una cosa que cabe resaltar es que el tipo de pelo negro es perfecto, es literalmente hermoso y sus reacciones hacen qué uno lo entienda y pueda seguí bien el curso de los hechos.

Si te gustan los demás bl un poco explícitos, te sirve saber que este no lo es, lo que es otro buen punto ya qué es algo diferente a lo que vemos y se centra más en las emociones y por lo que ellos están pasando.

Un punto menos seria (algo que he notado en varios dramas coreanos, especialmente) es el miedo a usar la palabra gay o a decir "novio", osea es un historia sobre bl, (amor de chicos) y no tiene sentido que le tengan miedo a las represalias sociales, qué me imagino debe ser la razón. Aunque igual puede ser algo bueno al no centrarse tanto en las etiquetas y eso, pero simplemente no es realista, ya que corea sigue siendo un país homofobico.

Eso fue todo, se que es el medio comentario, pero de verdad fue una buena serie y quiero recomendar y que más gente la sume a su lista de bl.
