When's the last time the South Korean BL market made something like this? An Assassin love story!? I honestly can't think of another example. This series/film is a great example of what could be. I genuinely Love it. It was made in 2017, by a more indie studio and it came out so well. In the years since it's release Korean BL has been mostly consisted of one too many University or Office Romance stories And while many of them are good I have to admit it's plagued by only those. While Thailand and Taiwan for example branch out into other genres like Mafia and Assassin storylines, Korea is usually stuck in the same area of 2 University students, or 2 Office workers or even another common one, Cooking Romance. That's not to belittle them. I just wish they'd branch out more.
This film is a great watch. The action scenes are really nice to see. The lead actors Actually have Chemistry & Intimacy during their romance scenes which is still something we struggle to see with many Korean BL actors who feel like they genuinely don't want to be kissing their costars. If you're like me and enjoy seeing things with action and spice then this is for you.
