I always defend short kbls, because they’re so short of course characters won’t be completely fleshed out, the story will feel rushed, the production will be messy, the acting may not be the best. But then every now and then a short kbl comes along like Where Your Eyes Linger, semantic error or Blueming and they prove that you can make an absolutely amazing drama even though it’s extremely short and this feels like it could join that list of those other amazing dramas, I’m loving every second of this. Ki Tae is quickly becoming one of my kbl favourite characters.
I this Suar is so underrated - he gave such an amazing performance in Youre my Sky - he was definitely the stand out of that drama for me - he’s talented so I’m very happy he’ll be back on our screens soon with this!
Agreed. They definitely weren't expecting to air first so I am convinced that's why editing and production are…
Exactly! I so wish we had had MML to establish Uea and Kings relationship too! I would’ve really loved to have 8 episodes of them bickering and getting to know their characters, so we’d already be attached to them when Bed Friend started.
I think I went in with my expectations so extremely high and I’ve just come to realise that this has become my trashy show that I enjoy (less so ep4 because of certain scenes, but still). I do think the acting gets better every episode, I also seriously love the character of Jade and in my opinion the storyline is more coherent than Cutie Pie, but it’s still not amazing and kind of a mess when it comes to the production side of things. it’s way more like a soap opera than I was expecting, but I enjoy some soap operas - so basically overall I’m having quite a lot of fun watching this, but techinally it’s not good.
wait wait wait! why is this so good!? The first 2 episodes (by Korean BL standards especially) were actually amazing! They’ve built this story and these characters so perfectly and it’s edited so we’ll. Dramas like this remind me that you can build the foundations of a really great story in under 30mins - you don’t always need +1hr. I’m actually a little bit obsessed with this! How am I meant to wait a week!?
my friend kept saying how adorable this looks and I told her she should go read the manhwa first because it’s not a cute story at all, it’s such a toxic and messed up friendship/relationship- I’m interested to see how dark they go with this because the trailer looks quite fluffy…and how people will receive Taehyun - I find him to be such an intriguing character.
This really does get better with each episode! I was feeling absolutely zero chemistry between the leads in episode 1, but it’s really really grown - then we even got that moment in episode 4 (it made me actually go “woah”)! I’m also just really loving the exploration of drinking culture in this - I’ve watched a lot of Kdramas - most of them drinking is a big part of them - but I haven’t seen any that specifically focus on the culture of drinking like this - and every country has a different drinking culture so I’m enjoying this glimpse into koreas! Definitely looking forward to next week!
I can’t wait to see what roles will be in Roh Yoon Seos future - she’s so talented and it’s so early in her career, but she really shone here sharing the screen with extremely talented senior actors! All the young actors did an amazing job though - I hope to see Lee Min Jae in something soon too because he was so fun to watch - very charismatic and charming.
I find myself forcing myself to watch this because some of the locations are gorgeous, the majority of the cast is talented and it’s filled with some seriously beautiful shots, but I’m so lost on what’s going on - maybe someday there will be better subtitles and I’ll be able to enjoy this, but until then - I’m out.
I feel like visually this is stunning, but the subtitles are so bad l have no idea whats happening - I’m constantly so confused. it’s a shame because it feels like their ruining what could be a really interesting series, but it stops being interesting if I have to rewatch every single scene 5 times to try and understand what the subtitles mean.
I am here again to just spread some love for this drama. I’m so hooked and so excited for what’s to come now that Yi Hwan knows with complete certainty that him and Jae Yi are on the same side. I’m still not so certain Tae Gang is the person behind everything - hes too funny and doesn’t seem conniving and he was at the Dakyu game when the person went to the prison AND wearing a different head band at the time. Also the voices didn’t match to me! I don’t know! But I LOVED Yi Hwan showing off in the Dakyu game and Jae Yis reaction! I’m just obsessed with this lead couple - I love their softness and humour with each otherI also liked that Yi Hwan is keeping a bit of distance between them out of respect for her engagement.
I actually think airing Middleman's Love first like they were supposed to would have helped this quite a bit (not that it would help with the atrocious editing) because I'm having trouble connecting with the lead characters and understanding why their relationship is the way it is - I think if we had Middleman's love first we would've had proper time to see the state of their relationship before their first time together and spent time building their characters up so that by Bed Friend we'd be so much better prepared - anyway I did like ep2 more, but I think that's because my expectations are now sooo low. And Jade continues to be the best thing about this series - he's adorable and hilarious - I can't wait for him to find love - I'm also going to assume Gun will be taking the role Uea was supposed to play in Middlemans Love because I know Jade was supposed to think his love interest (Mai) is interested in Uea instead of him, but if by Middleman’s Love he's in a relationship with King I can’t see that working - So I can see Gun being swapped in to the mix up instead maybe?
this has gone straight to the top of my list of over 100 BLs! It may not be the most technically perfect BL of all time, but all of these insanely beautiful characters, the heart and the love in this series that flows from every single scene making it my favourite BL. Tinn, Gun, Tiwson and Chinzilla - don’t make me wait too long for Our Skyy 2!
All the young actors did an amazing job though - I hope to see Lee Min Jae in something soon too because he was so fun to watch - very charismatic and charming.
