Are we really friends?
This little korean web drama is by far the best drama I've seen in a long time from Korea: this is how you make a correct friends to lovers drama!
Minhwa's girlfriend is suspicious of his closeness with his best friend of ten years. On the other hand, he is completely oblivious of her closeness with her long-time best friend. Well, they are all fake friends and real lovers.
The drama focuses more on the BL and the GL is just a kind of side story. But the BL is just perfect! When they go on a trip alone, they are suddenly uncomfortable in each other's company, the tension rises and eventually breaks through the friendship barrier. These scenes are sweet and funny: the stretching before a jog is hilarious. Or when the straight couple tries to come clean to each other and are constantly interrupted and don't know how to say what needs to be said!
The actors have just the right amount of chemistry together. In the first episodes, they are dressed the same and they actually look very much alike, seated beside each other in the café.
Fake Buddies is a low budget (they seem to be all alone in the world!) web drama which again proves that talent and creativity are what is important not the money. I wanted to continue watching them: they are so cute and sweet together. I would like to know more about the girls and how they got together as well: that is the episode this drama is missing and therefore I took 0.5 off my rating!
EDIT
MDL misled us: there were two additional episodes they never announced here and those two episodes are a full blown GL. And it is sweet, cute and perfect! The actresses are excellent at conveying the right amounts of feelings, they have nice chemistry. The direction and camerawork is correct and I liked the shaky camera angles which eloquently portrayed the burgeoning realization that their feelings for each other have always been more than friendship!
Now they should put the episodes in the right order: ep; 5 should be the last one while episodes 6&7 should come before, right after ep 4. Still, this is definitely one of the cutest and funniest Korean webdramas I've seen in a very long time.
Go for it!
