KelpiView : A simple and short love story
Overall impression :
If i could summarize the whole show in less than 5 words, it would be innocent, teenage love story. it was a good few hours, though there's nothing bad about the show, i felt it was nothing overly grand as well. it was a good show, dont get me wrong, i thoroughly enjoyed my time watching it, but it lacks the final sprinkle of garnish to make it phenomenal.
What I liked about it:
Great cast!
To be totally honest, i decided to pick this up because of Bever, Bigboom, Bell and Prat and they did not disappoint. I saw Bever, Bigboom and Prat when they appeared in Love Mechanics and thought that they were fine as support cast. Bever was good in his portrayal as X in this short romance show. Given this was Bell's first drama, she honestly did a good job as Mind. Im a fan of hers and happy that she stepped into the world of acting as well. Dont get me wrong, she is an awesome artist, but seeing her branch out is nice too!
Simple yet interesting story!
The story is simple yet not too boring. there's not much "big conflict" and the climax was a lil bit mellow for me, but for what it is, it is perfect as it is. I love the comedic scenes that they have slotted in to lighten the mood, which makes the show seems even more light. While i would say dont expect "overly heavy" plot points, there were some dialogues that they said that moved me.
What I disliked about it:
Too short.
4 episodes is a lil bit short in my honest opinion, but that being said, if they would drag it out, it might be a lil bit too draggy as the story is not overly complex. So, while i think that it is too short, i still believe the production crew made the right choice to leave it at 4 episodes. Would i have liked it if it was longer? i dont know. Do i want to see the cast in more episodes / scenes? yes totally, but i wouldnt want the show to suffer the effect of it being draggy at the end of it.
No skinship.
If you know me, you know i love a good NC scene in my BL dramas lol. This.. was a lil bit too tame for me LOL. But i understand that all shows have their own "rating" in a way, and this was a totally G rated BL drama. Do i wish for at least ONE NC scene between X and Q? yes i do, but given what the show is, it's fine. the best you get in this show is a cute cheek peck. lol.
Did I enjoyed it?:
Over the short period of time watching it, i enjoyed it a lot.
Would I recommend it to others?:
If you're looking for a simple and short BL drama, this is a good one. if you're just starting out watching BL or if you're not comfortable with BL action but would like to try it anyway, then this might be a good starting point as it is not plot heavy, not too long, very tame, as well as having a cute simple love story.
