Close Friend (2021)

Rushed and Too Simplistic

Rewatch Value - Zero.

While all of these actors have great potential and better series, this one is a bust. The stories were too simplistic, some were downright stupid. There was no time in any of these for any type of plot or character development, let alone any real romance. The first story had potential, but was unable to express it properly because it was short and rushed and left a lot of questions unanswered and an unrealistic ending. The rest of the stories were just bad.

It's sad to see wasted talent, even if these actors were new and needed practice, they wouldn't get it here because there was really nothing to work with and no chemistry to be found anywhere. And the cat episode... just too unrealistic - was it a cat or a human?

It's fine if you're really bored

I will only write a short review on this because it's a really short series.

This had some of my fav actor duos ( OhmFluke, MaxNat, JaFirst) but that plot was...really bad. I felt bad giving such a low rating, but I couldn't bring myself to vote higher than 5 . The acting was fine, I know most of the actors in this series are good in other bls, but the writing in this was soooo bad!
The plot of Ep 1 was incomplete. "Can we act like we're still in love?" What? Wdym act? and then the scene just ended. Really disappointing. I know it's not the actors too cause UWMA was amazing.

The plot of ep 2 was really confusing and pointless, my face was like ? the whole way through. I usually don’t say this in bls ( if you can even call episode 2 a bl) , but Xin should’ve ended up with V.

Ep 3 was funny at least, it was like the editors were on crack so it was entertaining. I liked MaxNat in Cutiepie, the writing was just bad.

Ep 4 was my favourite because of Talay, not the plot. Again, the plot didn’t make sense. You aren’t going to go from sorely missing your ex to loving another person in ten seconds. But it was the cutest (I’m biased cause of Talay tho).

Ep 5 was cute as well. It was the least confusing, and although it was rushed it made sense. The penpal theme was cute.

Ep 6 was almost just as bad as ep 2. The vr concept was nice, but still confusing. Was Jedi real or not? Was it like a hard light hologram in the beginning? I didn’t get it.

Overall the stories were all terrible. The only reason I gave it 5.5 was because it was entertaining and I feel like the actors did the best they could with the script.

6 Episodes, 6 Stories, 6 Opinions

I feel like the stories get gradually better.

Story 1 was a mix of pretty much all the things I dislike (kind of a breakup, kind of an affair, also a suggested second chance). It was an okay story, it wasn't may favorite. I decided to watch on.

Story 2 was a big WTF moment. I like the cast, but the whole thing was a single desaster. Any expectations I had that would make the synopsis of "I love my pet, my pet loves me!" cute were ignored or thrown out the window and what was left was a story I decided to forget. Fast.

Story 3 was cute, I especially love MaxNat, so I thought it was adorable, even if nothing special. Their chemistry is good and it was nice to see the focus not only on love but their athletic ambitions (?) as well.

Story 4 was where it got really interesting. After a confusing first few minutes it was just plain adorable. I wished they could have made this into a full series, where we get to know more about the characters and what happens after this tiny piece of their story.

Story 5 was ADORABLE and it probably worked best for the actors, too. They mostly shot alone, while writing letters or talking on the phone. Only at the end they had that brief meeting and I really enjoyed the whole thing. It was cute and romantic and made me feel happy.

Story 6 is my favorite, because as a fangirl I can only dream of sitations like these. haha They were so cute, the story had so much potential for more and here I also wished they'd given me more episodes with the couple. I also would have loved to see how P'Jedi knew about his fanboy... And what would happen next.

So if not for the first three stories, I'd recommend watching it for the last three. :)

Watched only ep 6

My whole review is for kimcop episode only. Just wished it was longer. But story is confusing that is really Jedi know ray's feelings or what.
How he suddenly called him Mr. Ray
And why Jedi act abnormal when he was with someone in the coffee house, like he want to say something but can not.
It feels they just rushed it all to the ending. Can be more than one episode.
As per acting kimmon and copter was hello awesome, they are just perfect together with teasing and perfection in work.
Love seeing both of them together, although iam an international fan I watched their unsubbed video clips too ?

What the hell was even this?

Going into this you already know it wont be a fleshed out story with intriguing plot twists, it relies on that the viewers already have a relationship to these couples and knows their dynamic from other shows which is perfectly fine. Though i wish they could have made the episodes at least 40 min instead of 20 or under. If u want an easy watch this is definitely it, they are famous ships and the actors knows each other so the chemistry is kinda there. I love Talay so im biased when i say i did enjoy their episode even though it was lacking in plot. But what on gods green earth was ep 2?! The actors did the best they could w the material given to them but what was the writers on?! I fast-forward through the ep and got the jist of it but it should definitely have stayed a fever dream or on the furry subreddit. Overall, watch it if u got nothing better to watch or just want a lazy watch, its so short and fast to go through that you arent really wasting any time nor effort.

Cute In Moments, But What "Y Destiny" Did Better

So this series comprises of 6 different stories from already paired actors from other series. I guess I'll have to go episode by episode in order to fully express my likes and dislikes of the entirety of the show. Lets do that!:

1st Episode: This is Fluke and Ohm's. Which I'm surprised got a first slot since they have to be a huge pull for this show! I'm watching it because of them and Tommy/Jimmy. I liked the idea of their love changing due to work and passing time. But the resolution of the episode didn't really resolve anything. Yes Ohm's character kissed Flukes at the end to show he still loved him. However, he's still calling him his brother behind his back and they need to talk over their love changing! Which didn't happen. If the ep was longer maybe it could've added these things in.

2nd Episode: Side couple from TharnType who I didn't really care for lol. The cat became...a person. Wtf am I watching? What in the furry fantasy is this? What is the point of this episode? Not much tbh lol so just skip it.

3rd Episode: Okay martial arts? What is this comic book editing all of a sudden!? Dude threw him on the ground so hard XD. This one was okay but I wouldn't have any reason to watch it again. I recognize these 2 from "Y Destiny" so go see them in that!

4th Episode: Yeah idk these two in this lol. Trying to get rid of karma huh? Ah it's a cop out. Well either way this one was cute. Kinda rushed at the end with a random romance twist, but its 15 mins so what can you do. I would say watch it but AGAIN these 2 are in "Y Destiny" and that story was much much better than this.

5th Episode: Omg FINALLY Jimmy and Tommy's episode! Yas 90s pen pals! This is actually super cute. Probs the best of the bunch! Well paced and interesting all throughout. Watch this one if anything and I only wish it had been given a full series to really get deep into the story.

6th Episode: I mean...the concept is kinda cool with a virtual boo coming to life and then they are actually real. But I kinda dipped out by now lol. There is some cute stuff though so watch this over some of the other ones.

Basically my overall consensus is this series was okay. The concept is good, but because "Y Destiny" has come out so closely to this its hard not to compare. That series did it much more effectively than this in every way. So I would say, watch a few of these and watch all of that series. Even the non-faves of mine from that series overshadowed 95% of these stories here.

Recopilación de historias dulces, románticas y graciosas

Es la primera vez que escribo una reseña, así que espero no hacerlo demasiado mal.
Voy a ir opinando sobre cada capítulo por separado, debido a que cada uno es una historia autoconclusiva, sin relación alguna con las demás. Todos los comentarios tendrán algún ligero SPOILER, aunque intentaré evitar revelarlo todo.

1. Ohm & Fluke. La historia podría estar mejor. Para mi gusto, la pareja es perfecta, tienen mucha química y trabajan muy bien juntos, pero la forma en la que se narra esta historia a mí no me gustó. Musicalmente es el mejor capítulo.

2. First & Ja. Para mí esto hay que tomarlo como una relación cariñosa entre gato y humano, de lo contrario la cosa se pone muy turbia. Momentos muy monos, pero por lo general, cuando recordaba que uno era un gato, me echaba para atrás estarlos shippeando.

3. Mac & Nat. Vengo de verlos en Y-Destiny y ya allí eran de mis favoritos, así que sabía que su historia me iba a gustar sí o sí. Y la verdad, me sorprendió para bien. Los dos primeros capítulos son como un poco flojos, pero este ya sube el listón y es el culpable de que haya subido bastante la nota a la serie. Una historia tierna, divertidísima y super dulce. Los dos son adorables juntos, tienen una química tremenda y hacen una pareja excesivamente bonita. En fin, no puedo ser objetiva, me encantan juntos.

4. Yoon & Talay. Los he visto juntos en YYY, YYY 2, Y-Destiny, así que es otra de mis parejas favoritas. Personalmente, me encantan los detalles (La camiseta de Talay "I love sunshine" y la de Yoon con un sol), las miradas de Lay que de verdad, que cosa más adorable y más bonita de ser, la química, los momentos graciosos, que son bastantes... Personalmente me encanta. Es una pena que con tan poco tiempo la historia no de para más.

5. Tommy & Jimmy. Lo mejor de toda la serie. LO MEJOR, digo. Por si fuera poco con el hecho de que esta pareja sea absolutamente A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E y que su química suba a la estratosfera, es que de verdad que no pueden hacerlo ni más bien, ni mejor. Parece mentira que con lo jovencitos que son y lo relativamente corto de sus carreras, sean capaces de transmitir tanto y tan bien. El hecho de que yo haya crecido en los 90 y haya vivido todas las cosas que se recrean en la historia (los amigos por carta, los cassettes que pasabas con el boli, las revistas, la ropa... todo está recreado para evocar nostalgia y emocionar a los más mayorcitos), aún me hizo emocionarme más al descubrir este pedacito de filmografía hecho con tanto amor. Ojalá se hiciera una serie completa con este guión, porque sería algo maravilloso de ver. Es la razón por la que mi nota general sube tanto, porque tal vez si no estuviera, habría quedado en un 7-8 (reconozco que soy generosa con las notas cuando algo me gusta).

6. Kim & Copter. Para mí, otro de los mejores capítulos de esta serie. Aunque la premisa pueda parecer un poco extraña y confusa, a mí me hizo gracia y me gustó mucho la confianza y evidente seguridad que tienen actuando juntos. Me quedé con la sensación de que me gustaría ver más de esta historia, al igual que me pasó con las 3, 4 y 5.

Para terminar, seguramente vuelva a verla, no completa, por capítulos sueltos, especialmente el 5, que para mí, vuelvo a decir, es el mejor de todos con diferencia. Igualmente, la serie en sí, a pesar de tener altibajos, historias mejores o peores, es un conjunto interesante y llamativo, con buena música y muy buenas actuaciones. Si te gusta alguna (o todas) las parejas de otras series anteriores, lo disfrutarás seguro.

not worth watching

Every episode speaks to a different story. About 20 minutes to tell a story, which is definitely not enough.
I dropped the series after watching 2 episodes.
1st episode lacked a proper backstory, its like the episode is trying to tell a small part in a couple's life when one gets too busy engrossed in work but since it lacked a backstory, things were too sudden, in a single word I would describe it as incomplete. The only thing I liked from the episode is the music.
2nd episode was just plain dumb where it speaks to the relationship between a cat and a human, where the character of the cat is played by a human.
I cant guess what the series wants to focus on. Wouldnt recommend watching even for time pass.
