Offers little for both BL and OnlyOneOf fans alike
As someone who is a fan of OnlyOneOf, I really would not have watched this if it were not for the group being in it. Sadly, not even they could save this absolute pile of garbage.
I understand a lot of BLs have small budgets but this one seems basically nonexistent which is a bit confusing when compared to the camera quality which is really good. I fail to understand why this company took on producing this show if they seemingly spent all their money on getting the group. They even reuse music and music videos from the group in the series which is just completely jarring and makes no sense in the context of the series. They seriously couldn’t have just filmed at least a little bit of a music video if it was going to be such an important part of the series?
The plot is nonsense, which is not entirely the fault of the writers. The webtoon is also nonsense and pretty weird, but then again why the company chose *this* webtoon to adapt into live action is beyond me. The premise definitely could be interesting, but the series feels like it goes nowhere. Even when some drama ensues, it ends as soon as it starts and is pretty uneventful.
Jihoon and Eden’s romance feels very random to me. They are both okay characters and have likable qualities but I fail to see why they like each other. They barely have any romantic interactions unless you consider sharing a burger and a small kiss which only one party remembers romantic. Both of their sudden feelings for each other, but especially Eden’s, feel extremely random.
For the most part, the members did a decent job with their acting. But I will say it is painfully obvious at times that this is all of their acting debuts and some performances and scenes are less convincing than others.
I think this series fails for both regular BL fans and OnlyOneOf fans alike. If you are an OnlyOneOf fan, it’s disappointing to see the members’ acting debuts being in such a strange and disorganized show. If you’re a regular BL watcher, it’s disappointing to watch such a low-budget, unengaging series with barely any chemistry between the two leads. This series fundamentally fails at appeasing either of the two audiences it is trying to target.
