Although I understand the hype and really like it myself, there's 2 things I am very critical about.
This time a more critical and professional review unlike other BL review's I've wrote. What I really love is this genre. Investigation drama's are always amazing and have a lot of potential. This is a genre I really love, no matter what. This series was totally unpredictable and had me thinking along often. I really enjoyed it, but my over all is still quite low compared to other good drama's I've seen. I feel like there's a few big issues with this series.
The first issue is something I will keep doing. I'm critical on this, no matter what. I am sick and tired of ai being used in any form of media. The intro, the first few scene's and apparently the background?? Now as someone who's mostly focussed on PR for editing as a film student. Is it just me or does even the editing look ai generated?? It PISSES ME OFF. Now here's the thing. Some scene's do seem to be correctly put together and nicely lined up but then there's this very weird feeling when they change shots. Idk maybe it's just their style of editing but this fr feels off. The intro feels like it's made by lazy people. Just give me those ugly 2018 fades again.
Another issue I had is the relationship between Chae Ha and Tae Seon. Although I think they suit really well and have perfect chemistry, I really hate Tae Seon's behaviour. Truth is, at some point I even thought he was very suspicious. But, my main issue is the way Tae Seon treated Chae Ha. I don't see no one calling his behaviour out. Can we all agree that Tae Seon Sa'ed Chae Ha 2 times?? The first forceful kiss looked soo uncomfortable but later it got worse. He did yk what, while Chae Ha was super drunk??? I also hate how Tae Seon treated Chae Ha in this confusing way. The one time he was really mean and sometimes he suddenly turned sweet.
Next thing might sounds weird, not a bad thing. That song in episode 5... it's the same one they kept using in the nc scene's in My stubborn. Now don't question me on this. I just got extremely irritated at that song and I always skip all nc's but it was so weird to hear the same song being used and this time rather for an attack scene. It just surprised me. I hate that song sooo much that I recognise it everywhere.
Can we all praise Yang Kyung Hee?? She directed the best BL from South Korea. I'm really happy that she directed this. Although I didn't like all of her work, I have to admit that she might be the best BL director out there in Korea. Often Korea's BL's lack plot but most of her's don't. I really hope she'll give us more amazing drama's. The acting work was incredible as well. I rather not choose favourites but Park Si Woo... he was amazing. I feel like he was way more relatable than any other character and the series felt like it was purely his point of view .Also I really liked Ha Neul... WHY DID HE DO THAT..
Overall this was amazing, but like I mentioned, I am a bit disappointed in the relationship between the male leads and the excessive use of ai. I did enjoy the plot, it was rich and unpredictable. It's a huge suggestion and I think this might be one of the best Korean Bl's we've had.
