BL or Bromance? Depends on your POV!
Honestly speaking, I randomly came across the trailer of this K-Drama and thought of giving it a chance. Nowadays, I've been way too invested in BL/GL dramas or C-dramas, so I decided to take a break and go back to watching my sweet K-dramas ^-^
Coming to the trailer, I got fascinated by it; it made me curious enough to actually wait for its episodes, yk! Now, starting from episode 1, it started pretty nicely; it made me crave more in a sense! Like, a few minutes of each episode will legit make you question so many things, but at the same time it requires you to be patient for the plot to unfold slowly, and as I watched each and every episode, I got to understand the complex emotions of each of the characters, including the two main leads.
Each and every character in this series has some secrets or backstories that have made them act or behave in a certain way towards the other characters! The two main leads, played by the actors Song Kang & Lee Jun-Young, have incredible chemistry with each other; their body language and actions towards each other speak volumes — both of them being childhood friends then turned into rivals also, they switch from being enemies to rivals to partners to friends like it happens every minute and though it's kinda frustrating enough as a watcher, still I can't find the heart to blame the leads for the way things are unfolding, it can't be helped after all T-T
No offence, but I can relate to Kang Pi-o a lot, like seeking validation from the one you admire the most and then seeing someone else get to live that life. It is hurtful indeed; thus, I do find myself loving this character more than the second main lead, though both leads have sad backstories. Still, Pi-o's family is quite problematic now that I think about it.
Moving on, this k-drama is completely based on music & piano though these kind of dramas have never been my cup of tea still I am quite drawn to this one more specially coz of the music, plot and its visuals, ofc the face cards of all the actors are lethal and not to mention, I like the FL a lot like she feels like a supportive friend rather than a love interest and I prefer they keep it that way till the end! This drama does have quite a load, or I should say a bunch of moments, which made me think, 'Heck! They are in love' or 'This is a BL for sure! It has to be,' but some moments also felt like cute bromance or just pure friendship between two lost souls, aka broken pianists tormented by the greedy world they live in ~ It entirely depends on how you choose to see it altogether.
I have seen the first four episodes, and currently a theory is in my mind, taking into account the first few minutes of each episode, especially Episode 1 — What if Kang Pi-o and his mother planned to kill Jeong-won on the day of the competition because Jeong-won was more talented than Pi-o, and they wanted to make sure Pi-o won? I mean, I can understand if Pi-o's mother did it, but Pi-o??? Would he actually go so far just to get his Grandfather's validation? Like, I don't know, but I just hope in the end both the leads stay good friends and get the ending they both deserve! Like, both becoming famous worldwide pianists <3
P.S. Extremely excited for episodes 5 & 6 hehe UwU
