THE MOST UNDERRATED BL SERIES EVER
First thing you should know is that I'm one of the late comers. I only just watched this a whole year after it aired.As of the time I'm writing this, I already watched Bad Buddy and Not Me; series that have become some of my all time favourites alongside I Told Sunset About You and My Beautiful Man.
So when I tell you that Lovely Writer is one of the best series I've watched ever, believe me because I just put it in the same category as the ones listed above.
I was initially reluctant to watch this because of the 8.2 rating it had at this time and some negative reviews. But now I'm happy I watched it!
Every BL fan should watch this series.
Storyline: I honestly found no flaw with this. This story is as realistic as can be. Although I believe it could do without the childhood bit, it all still comes together nicely. People who have issues with the storyline are not used to realistic stories. Trust me, if you want realism this drama is it for you.
Also this storyline shows all the dirty drama in the BL world and teaches us BL fans to do better.
Acting: Wheew I'm in love with Up. Up is a FANTASTIC actor. His expressions, mannerisms and even the way he talks are perfect. Kao also did a fantastic job here and they had so much chemistry.
Other cast members were also pleasant to watch and I don't remember watching any cringe scenes.
Chemistry: To be honest, I wasn't really feeling the chemistry in the first episode. But from episode 2 till the end? Pure flames! The way Nubsib looks at and cares for Gene makes me blush and embarrassed in a good way. I love how Gene reacts too.
They showed us just one sex scene but o boyyyyy?????? It was honestly more of love-making than sex. Idk how to put it but if you watch it you'd understand.
Consent: I've literally never watched any other BL that affirms consent like Lovely Writer does. At every step of the way, consent was guaranteed. Kao was such a beautiful lover.
I don't know how else to say it but please watch this drama. You will love it.
Also, I really can't wait to see Up in another series ?
