Self (2022)

Suspenseful but fails as BL

It started out great: someone not seeing themselves in the mirror but someone else struggling with a huge issue, not knowing if a character did or did not commit murder, vigilantes, etc. The series is short, only 6 episodes. You get all the answers to the above. But how do you call something a BL when one person commits suicide because the other rejects him, and the 2 main characters hug in a friendly, consoling, "I believe you; you're not alone" way? It should be marketed as a regular youth drama. The actors did a great job though.

i didn't expect to like it that much

it has a different story than other bl's. surprisingly attracted me. it was really short but screen time was enough to story. and i really like the poster. it gives good vibes to me.

their acting is generally good but it feels a bit amateurish sometimes. some people says "it was not like a bl it was more bromance" but i think it was pretty obvious that they have feelings for each other. they don't have to kiss to show that. actors gave the emotions well.

after all, i liked it and i'm thinking of watching it again sometime.
