Full Story in Six Episodes

Six episodes for a series will always leave us feeling unsatisfied. The advantage of course, is that we get to the love story fairly quickly. Filling up the series with characters walking up and down the stairs, or showing scenery is not needed. It is not necessary to avoid the fact that we are watching and waiting for the love story. We get to the point. However, what we gain in pace , we lose in character development and the implications are that we are unclear on what motivates our love interests, why are they attractive as love interests and who are they in the great scheme of things.

Love Class is a short BL about two boys who are desk mates at university. While this is not a new theme, we've not seen it in a university setting, or at least I have not. The story is about how the affection develops from such proximity. The story is believable, but what was unprecedented was how one of the characters suddenly leaves when their dream is about to become a reality, that felt a little unrealistic to me and therefore a let down.

The biggest let down for me was the kiss and this is not just with this drama. Many dramas are steeped in conservatism that it becomes rather difficult to believe the actions leading up to the kiss. How are you NOT passionate for the one you love after a long absence?

Besides all that, this is watchable on a Sunday afternoon when you have nothing else going on.

Thank you for reading my review.
