THE SERIES WITH DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE
compared to typical bl series of today, it offered a completely different and brand-new perspective. it was quite enjoyable to watch. it made me smile in some parts and cry in others.
save using guy as material for his novel was extremely terrible, and guy really put save through hell. good job, guy. even though he eventually forgave him, i think he gave save the lesson he deserved.
the main theme of the series was a seventy-five-year-old grandpa challenging the system of his time and finally revealing his buried feelings to the world. the last episode devastated me, and i found myself sobbing. one of the worst things in the world is unfinished or unspoken love. the grandpa's was one of those.
the series had lessons to be learned and messages to be taken from everything, from the family and the children to their friendships. everyone is fixated on the actors' ages; yes, they're old for this series, but focusing solely on that is extremely wrong. while the actors' performances were a bit stiff at first, they gradually improved. especially the part in the last episode where they acted out a scene from the book was where their acting reached its peak. there, i completely understood both the characters in the novel and how the grandpa felt.
and yes, there wasn't much kissing or nc scenes. if you look at it, there wasn't any kissing in the grandpa's novel either, but that didn't stop it from selling. so what i'm saying is, you don't necessarily need physical interaction to evoke feelings. this series is the best example of that.
