Where Your Eyes Linger (2020)

I never thought this series would be great. I didn't expect much since it only has 10-12mins per episode . But goodness, they already did a great job just with the first two episodes. The story isn't so unique (i saw this kind of plot in chinese bl), but as I'd said they still manage to do great. They gave us background and some hints what to expect with the main characters, a glimpse of their future conflicts/problems to face. I like how the production showed us how and what kind of relationship the main leads have with only 20 mins. The cinematography is very captivating as well as the music it blend with the atmosphere and the scenes it is very clean. The actors showed expertise of what they were doing. I am not really the type to rewatch what I've already seen, but for those whose otherwise then I must say it's a good catch.

There are still 6 episodes left but i would probably stay tuned to what will happen next.

When I heard Korea was gonna release their first mainstream BL drama, I was a bit nervous. Nervous mainly for the actors, hoping my babies won't get too much backlash. And I was worried the level of skinship might be discounted. Long story short, I wasn't expecting much.

When I started watching this, episode after episode, I was hooked! There's so much emotion in the way they looked at each other, unspoken words, pent up longing and fragile souls. You could feel it all! They didn't need too much skinship at all! Even when they're not touching, you could feel the intensity. That's how good the acting was. When Tae Joo cried, my heart broke to pieces! Young chaebol getting his heart broken for the first time, no no no!

I felt like the music was soothing and on point. I'm just at episode 6 now and so far I haven't seen much romantic skinship. I don't think they'll have it as Korea is not used to the same level of BL we always expect from the Thais and Japanese. But it's still enjoyable nonetheless .

A Real BL from Korea!

What's not to like about this one? Great story. Great actors. Happy ending. It falls short of a 10 rating only because I can't believe these two guys have known each other practically since birth and only now, at age 18, are they are revealing their true feelings. The script could have used a few flashbacks or even a few dialogue references to hints about their evolving attraction as they were growing up. Some of the character motivations were a bit illogical, like why was Tae Joo trying so hard to hook up his friend with a girl? Why was Tae Joo such a ladies man, breaking the hearts of several girls at once? Well, I suppose he was playing the role of a straight guy to disguise his true orientation. And maybe forcing Kang Gook to date a girl would force him out of the closet? Tae Joo's Mafia Boss-like father, with his James Bond villain-like henchman, was a bit over-the-top -- unintentional comic relief that distracted from the tone of the drama. The restaurant owner with "gaydar" and the running approval of Tae Joo & Kang Gook's relationship was a nice touch.

The only Korean BL series i approve...

It’s so far, the only korean bl series that I approve and highly recommend. (Don’t get me wrong the others were good too but Thai and Chinese BL have set my standards so high lol)

The actors played their role so well, the personality they portrayed fits the characters, the chemistry was just so perfect, the storyline - how the scnenes were executed, the jealousy, the hold backs, the heartstopping moments, the butterflies and hurt i felt while watching this is what I’ve been anticipating for a drama in general.

They say “Once Korea started doing BL series that’s when it’s over for everyone”. This is that series. It has what it takes to be that series. The only downside of this is that it’s short. It left me wanting more. There are still a lot of things that could happen if they continue the story.

And i think that’s what’s important, how the characters and the story grew into me and left a very scpecial part in my heart even if it’s short I’ll never forget this series. I just really hope they make a Season 2. It deserves a sequel. It’s a must watch.

Muito bom

Eu realmente não esperava por essa história, tinha imaginado algo completamente diferente quando comecei a assistir, mas UAU, surpreendeu completamente e superou minhas expectativas.
Senti tanta empatia e carinho pelos protagonistas, eles são completamente fofos juntos e a forma como eles expressaram o amor um pelo outro no decorrer da série é muito bonitinho.
Sem dúvidas eu assistiria quantas vezes fosse preciso só para relembrar a primeira vez em que assisti! A história é linda e muito emocionante, é uma pena que tenha poucos episódios, mas mesmo com o pouco que tem já dá para sentir a história na pele! Incrível.

A very nice Korean series, which made me want to watch a higher rating on the IMDb and ČSFD heterac servers than here (unfortunately). An above-average work in all aspects, where the actor Jang Eui Soo in the role of Gook appealed to me the most. When the overall good impression prevails, the viewer is willing to overlook even small things that would probably be filmed differently in Europe. I recommend including the series To My Star, which was filmed by the same director.


Moc hezký korejský seriál, k jehož zhlédnutí mě přimělo vyšší hodnocení na heteráckých serverech IMDb a ČSFD, než tady (bohužel). Po všech stránkách nadprůměrné dílo, kde nejvíce mě oslovil herec Jang Eui Soo v roli Gooka. Když převáží celkový dobrý dojem, je divák ochoten přehlédnout i drobnosti, které by se třeba v Evropě natočily asi jinak. Doporučuji včetně série To My Star, kterou natočila stejná režisérka.

The title is perfect. " Where Your Eyes Linger" sounds so romantic! I got goosebumps every time they looked at each other! The two protagonists have good chemistry!

The episodes are few and short but well structured, their feelings develop and are well explained during each episode and the merit is also of their acting... with a look, with a smile.. you understand what they feel. I'd be curious to see other drama with a similar story. Anyway each character has his own space and each one has done a good job.

I would like to bring the concentration on the OST! really beautiful and perfect in every scene!

The plot intrigued me and left me satisfied! Great drama!

Thank you for reading~

A Beautiful Love Story

A profound series. There are only 8 episodes, consisting of about 15 minutes each. It is amazing what great story telling can do in a short period of time. How could one not fall in love with this series? Its pace is swift, intense, and utterly believable. There are no wasted scenes here or fillers. Just raw drama and an intensity of feelings that develops. Also, the chemistry between these two (very handsome) actors is a thing of beauty. This is truly a must series and I hope people watch it. (There are not many of these from Korea, so enjoy!) Each episode has an aptly named title and you will get the message clearly. I very much want to see more of their story because in the end, love is really what matters no matter how you define it.
