So much wasted potential
Kind of a late review, but here's what i think
This drama started off so strong, the characters actually had chemistry, the storyline seemed pretty well planned out, what could go wrong? Well as this series proved, everything could turn to shit in less than a single episode.
This had so much potential that just went down the drain, and i truly believe the only reason it got so popular is because the actors are appealing to the eye, and I can't confidently say that I don't believe they were cast simply for that reason.
Win's role as Tine deserves some recognition seeing as it was one of his first ever roles. Bright on the other hand; i can't tell if his acting seemed so standoff-ish because the director instructed him to act that way or because he simply didn't have the ability to act like he wasn't put off by the mere idea of kissing someone of the same sex.
They started off strong in the first couple episodes, and i can't exactly pinpoint where but at some point all the chemistry between them just evaporated into thin air, never to be seen again.
The kissing scenes were absolute abominations as well. It felt like the directors out a gun to their head and said "kiss or die". I recently rewatched it hoping that i just overreacted the first time i saw it and there was some chemistry left but it was even worse because all i could think about when they had to kiss was that it looked like those videos where someone brings a pocky to a party and gets people of the same sex to bite it until they "kiss". It just looked forced.
I will give some credit to the actors however, because they seemed much more comfortable when they were acting in F4 and that just reinforced my belief that they used BL as a way to get popularity and then when they got enough money from it they would just act in a straight drama. As a queer person, i'm tired of seeing these actors use, what is for most of us the only representation we get, as a stepping stone for them to gain more popularity. I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason they haven't done the same dumb shit Krist did on instagram is because they have so many social media managers that wouldn't let them post it.
In conclusion the show was ass and the only reason i'm not giving it a 0 is because of Green.
