Please never ruin a good sitcom like this again
A BL as a sitcom... that could be interesting. And it really is! BUT BUT BUT there are also some serious flaws and bad choices in this. It's like the creators had a checklist of what makes a sitcom a sitcom and tried to check all of the boxes without checking if it would be beneficial as a viewing experience. I imagine the checklist looked like this:
- Decor. Should look like cardboard, obviously studio-filmed. Bright colors. Not more than 2 or 3 locations.
- Cast. Not too well known actors. They need to be good looking. no other specific requirements. Chemistry is a plus.
- Comedy. No need for actually funny jokes. Use noises to emphasize.
- Audience. Since no actual comedy is provided, a live audience would not know when to laugh. Use canned laughter. Every other sentence will do just fine.
- Situations. Since it's a romance, we can focus all situations on that. Take the enemy to lovers trope and stretch the enemy part as far as possible. Then a jealousy-bit and finally the lovers part should take up no more than 2 seconds,
As bad as this may look, it was actually quite nice. It really had that 80's/90's sitcom feel. If only they had not over used the laughter-button it would maybe even be funny. The actors (who both made their debut in this) actually did a decent job and had amazing chemistry that really built up towards the end. But that chemistry also made for a huge disappointment when there was NO real kiss. Just lips touching. Twice, of which once by accident. Such a shame!!
I would like to see this genre explored in BL. Give me more sitcoms, with better checklists!
