Not a lot to say so far but I want to watch this BL series for sure!

This special drama consists only in 1 episode of 15 minutes and is clearly the prologue of the BL series "Stay Still" . I am not really sure why this episode is separated from the main show because it is the introduction of the story and shows how the two main leads met each other. So it makes little sense to have it separated as a "special" episode.

There is not a lot to the plot so far but it made me want to watch the full drama for sure. It is my first Hong-Kong production so I do not have a lot of comparable points. The series has an "indie" feel to it which I found pretty interesting, it seems like a slice-of-life series with dark/dramatic undertones.

The actors introduced here are good-looking but there was little to see at this stage. I'm really curious nevertheless to see how this is going to play out.

I would recommend this to people that are looking for a BL story set in Hong-Kong. So far, nothing has happened but I enjoyed the atmosphere of the episode and it successfully managed to make me curious of what's going to happen next.

The boy next door

I have not seen many dramas from Hong Kong: their cinema is world renowned but dramas...No one speaks about them here unfortunately! But what I have seen are mainly low budget web bl dramas and they are far from slick but the stories they tell are usually raw, rough and unpolished (lots of synonyms to say the same thing!) and very real: no fluff or fairy tales in sight. This one seems to be no different!

This special is the introduction episode to the longer drama, showing us how the main characters met. It starts by a woman who, after the post coital bliss, delivers bad(?) news to her lover and then offers to tell him a short story about two of her friends: Hayden and Damian. Hayden moves into a new flat and meets an old lady and her grandson Damian.

In spite of this being only 15min long they managed to make it look long and draggy. When Hayden meets the old lady, the whole sequence is far too long. Well I guess we needed to establish that Hayden is kind to elderly but that scene went on and on and on.... The same goes for Damian: he is shown to be kind to his grandmother, looking after her conscientiously. So the characters are nice people. Handsome as well. The grandmas's white hair looked too fake to be real and they could have done without it! The cinematography is grey and unappealing though the camerawork is interestingly dynamic, the apartment building is unkempt and old and the sets in general are dark and depressing. The final credits song is very nice.

And that's about it! The two men meet briefly and take a long look at each other. Promising? Wink, wink! Oh yes, the ending delivers but the story is far from finished!
