BL Compilations
swimming in the BL vortex
First Impression: Love Sick
Overall: I was pleasantly surprised with the first episode. I have watched the original series adaption; I have not read the book. I'm trying to write this review based on the current series' merits. Airing uncut (~1 hour) on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/love-sick-2024-episode-1-1mki2ks9q5g?lang=en_us and cut (~45 min) on Tia51's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR99-9wCOObG0rFQTm5mqfiLeR0eyARyx&si=dU0m-CXh1LffpvC8
Content Warnings: brief bullying, joking about attempting suicide
What I Liked
- how the first episode focused on the 2 leads
- sweet/caring moments
- staring
- production value
Room For Improvement
- the intro was beautiful but a bit confused on the context for it, then the 2 year time jump
- a ton of characters were introduced and I'm pretty lost with everyone except the leads
- nervous with 15 episodes and such a large cast that there will be many subplots some of which I might find unappealing
- (neutral) comedy sound effects
