It has all the good things.
This series is adorable and everything feels just right. It covers all genre's I like. It's short, Angsty and has unrequited love. Even though I like short dramas, for this series in specific, I think it should've been a lot longer. If I'm super honest, at first I wasn't excited at all to start this, due to K-BL's often failing to reach what they actually want to. But after watching this, I was genuinely surprised.
I will mention this again and again, in every single one of my reviews until my opinion changed, but I often refuse to watch Korean Bl's. Due to the lack of representation and the overall pretty unrealistic events. I feel like Where your eyes linger is an extremely well done Korean Bl. What I really like about this series, is the angst. Choi Hye Mi pissed me off extremely much. Even if she seems a nice and honest person, she was really just getting in the way of them. I don't think Kang Gook should've even tried flirting with her in the first place, when his feelings are totally towards Tae Joo. But from his POV it's understandable given that he didn't expect Tae Joo to ever like him back.
The yearning was amazing. As a yearner myself, I just love it when it's done great. What surprised me is that both Tae Joo and Kang Gook yearned for each other. But Tae Joo was a bit of a red flag, he did seriously not have to keep playing girls. Due to me thinking Tae Joo was a bit of a red flag, I forgot to kinda focus on his POV...
Although I'm sort of not familiar with the cast, I have to say their acting was amazing. Especially Jang Eui Soo's acting. I said I 'sort of not familiar' but that's because most series Jang Eui Soo and Han Gi Chan play in, have been on my watch list for quite some time. I seriously have to watch them, especially since their acting skills are sooo good. The director, Hwang Da Seul is amazing. She makes a lot of amazing series and I like her taking on this job. The combination of her and Shin Yoo aaaah.
Overall, this was amazing. I really suggest watching it for people who enjoy Angst, Unrequited love yearning and shorter drama's. The ending was amazing, just hoped to see more of them except for a return kiss. I was watching and writing this super tired so ignore the amount of mistakes. I also don't have a Beta reader or something hahhaha.
