„Call it what you want“ gives you an insight into the toxic side of the BL-Industry, where the product more counts than the individuals. But it also tells a love story between a director and an Artist.
Unfortunately, the story focuses sometimes too much on the romance, which is cute, but not the main reason why the series is worth watching. But when it comes to giving you a sense of how sad it is behind the scenes of a BL production, this series delivers like no other.

Sometimes you notice " their slim budget, but that doesn't bother me, because for that all actors convince with their performances. Especially the two main actors, but also the evil studio boss deliver a good reading.

And there is also Michael...his performance as „broken“ Bas is just heartbreaking.
Those sad, empty eyes gave me goosebumps and impress me. He is the Scenestealer and one of the main reasons, why this show is so good.

All in all „Call it what you want“ is not the typical fluffy BL-series and more an serious drama, but still an important series worth watching, especially in a time when BLs are gaining popularity.
