It Definietly is a Drama!

I am always excited when a new GL comes out; however, it is no longer 2015 and, as there are now more than five productions, my expectations are a bit higher. The story is quite lovely, and the action scenes are not bad. There are only seven episodes, but the plot does not feel overly rushed and you can actually feel yourself invested in the story. There are some elements that deserve a snort (the "always packed bakery" has barely three people in it each scene, the bodyguard could not be more useless, etc.) but they are not that much in your face. My main problem is that everything seemed too clear, too perfect. I could not forget that I am watching something and these are just actresses and actors. Most scenes, especially when both female leads had a moment, looked like a photo shoot and not a real-life motion. Every time they kissed, I was waiting for a product placement. And do not even get my started on the frequency of slow-motion! Overall, it is cute, it is fun but nothing more than that.

Fun, Cute and Real

Although the episodes are short and there are not many of them, what struck me the most is how real it is. Of course, the comic effect was sometimes off the roof, but I found the story (including inner monologues) most relatable. The ever-present question "is she really flirting with me or is she just straight?", the uncertainty of it all was just *chef's kiss*. And I always applaud using the word "lesbian" because so often writers just do not want to deal with it. I am not the biggest fan of time skips but I did not mind this one although I would love to see some more development. My biggest complaint is that it is just too short but there is another season, which I hope explores the themes that were not expanded here. And the OST! It accompanied me all week.
