A good enough crime genre of BL with a mix of freakiness
I’ll be honest off the bat, I don’t know why many people who watched this show describe it as the best piece of BL media they’ve watched. It wasn’t bad don’t get me wrong but it also wasn’t THAT good…
The premise is pretty typical and it reminded of a fanfiction you could easily find on Wattpad or AO3 with this same exact storyline and trope. It’s nothing crazy never done before, and actually quite a lot of things were easily predictable and every plotwist they saved for shock value wasn’t shocking at all to the point where it’s making me think maybe they didn’t really pay attention to that and purposely made it obvious?
The audio quality and the way this show was filmed (angles and camera movement as well as editing) it was all so low quality. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a BL that looked high quality during promotions actually have this low quality of a production. The one thing that mostly bothered me was the audio cuts that would often happen during the show. Sometimes the camera would capture another character sighing in the background and then abruptly cut to a new scene where the characters sigh was cut short, as if watching a Youtube video lol.
There were also many awkward cuts in scenes but if you have low audio quality I wasn’t expecting the cinematography to be any better either so I guess they match each other lol.
Other than that, I liked the characters, they were a bit corny and spoke like a 13 year old girl writing a fanfiction wrote the script but it was bearable because the acting wasn’t that bad. I’m assuming the actors (both MLs) are rookies so they did pretty well for their first role.
But don’t get fooled by my previous complaints, this is just something that personally bothered me because the show actually keeps your attention somehow. The tension between the MLs was quite something. I’m not a strong lover of a ML who lowkey forces the other into a kiss and I didn’t like how the bottom kept acting like a damsel in distress all the time. The only time he ever showed any type of personality was the last episode where he defended himself. It feels like the top is the only one who changed.
But regardless they had a lot of chemistry atleast in my eyes they did. Their kissing scenes actually had me gasping, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone that hungry to kiss👀.
Their ‘spicy’ scenes were also insane, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a korean BL this bold with their love making scenes before!!! It was quite the experience.
So really on the BL part I have no complaints, they delivered what they offered but outside of that I found quite a bit of things that bothered me and made me confused why so many people compliment it as if it’s the best piece of BL media they’ve watched 😂
All in all, it’s not a bad BL by any means but it does have its flaws and in my opinion it had quite a bit of flaws. The scenes albeit serious made me laugh sometimes but that’s alright, I was entertained and that’s what we’re all hoping to be when getting into it!
