Not bad but far from groundbreaking
Light on Me is definitely a lighthearted drama that you will enjoy if you're searching for an easy watch with no major drama.
What I liked :
- The cinematography was very clean and on par with other korean dramas. The sets didn't feel low budget at all, despite the characters sticking to pretty much the same places through all the drama.
- Nam Goong was like a breath of fresh air every time he was on screen, I loved how he was not only a comic relief character but also a serious and devoted friend when problems arises. It was a nice change !
- They avoided all problematic tropes from what i can remember and they even dwelved into interesting subjects especially with Daon inner struggles with who he is and how he wants to be perceived by others.
- I think this is the best korean BL released so far, it could have been better executed but this is an ecouraging step in the right direction!
- The love triangle made sense for once ! While it was a bit fast, it was well executed and I had doubts until the end about who will end up together.
What I disliked :
- I was charmed by the first half of the drama but the second half felt dragged and I skipped through A LOT of the long staring contests and the awkward dialogues
- The dialogues... I get that the character are supposed to be awkward but having the two main characters interacting like that quickly becomes boring
- While I was okay withTaekkyung and Daon character development, Shinwoo character really didn't evolve much ? and I was really looking forward him opening up and being more comfortable by the end of the drama but it semmed that little changed from the beginning
- The acting was okay, I think the problem lied more in the directing. I've never seen people walking this slow on a sidewalk and the characters seemed robotic to me, especially during their interactions with each others.
Overall it was an okay watch, it got too boring for me towards the end but it remains a really decent BL !
