lackluster vertical micro series
Overall: 40 total episodes for about 1hr 15 minutes runtime (a little under 2 minutes per episode). Episodes 1-10 are free to watch on the Alwayz Shortdrama YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNSRcn2apDarHe7Tml51AIxwuqIE1SAO7&si=RWE6BtHqjZdxkdSV - on Dec 6th I watched all 40 episodes for free with a special livestream https://www.youtube.com/live/zNQiDd3UiY0Content Warnings: past suicide, grief, mental health struggles, suicidal thoughts, near suicide
What I Liked
- caring moments such as first aid, piggyback ride
- good kissing
- that 1-10 are free on their YouTube channel and they did give a short window to watch all episodes for free instead of needing to download their app
Room For Improvement
- love triangle
- slow pacing
- didn't feel connected to any characters or their relationships with each other
- too many flashbacks
- night scenes needed more light on the actors' faces
- the band aids were much more distracting than whatever they were covering (scars, freckles, tattoos)
- the pool was so shallow that characters could all stand in it and yet a character said "how did you get to me, oh you swam"
- ending left something to be desired, after being so determined to do something a character seemed to make a strong 180 turn

Started out very well....
Well! I eagerly waited and watched all 40 episodes aired live on their youtube channel. After watching the first 10 episodes, it was a painful wait and the series felt it was going very well.But unfortunately after completing it, did not have the same feeling. I just did not feel connected with the series somehow, did not feel the chemistry between the actors. Felt love triangle was unnecessary and also it did not get shown properly with very less screen time. Felt the 3rd ML a bit pitiful, no closure for him even after working so hard. Acting is mediocre. The past of suicide somehow did not feel connected and not a great story (although sad). Or tbh, it was not portrayed well in my point.
Felt actors could have done a more good job at acting. Not really sure of re-watch. Maybe once or twice after a long time.

chemistry up plot down
when i first started watching it i was so excited, it had a good start but eventually the more i watch the more i feel less interested but i continued because its short anyway, tbh the chemistry btw mls was good ,some scenes looked good but the plot seems weak and not interesting ,so after finishing it i didnt feel any difference like no excitement and not attached to any characterbut do i feel disappointed? no , when i watch a short bl i dont give a lot of expectations because i know low budget and other issues etc ...
