Reality vs Expectations ...
Wow this drama was really well done.
This was a journey, an experience, that will forever stay with me. I absolutely loved this series. The cinematography, directing, production level, acting, story - marvelous, beautiful and stunning. This series is a fiction, subtly yet un-subtly, calling out all the problems and flaws in the BL industry from toxic tropes, stereotypes, overcontrolling script writers to the cruel treatments of their casts, amongst other things. The story is about Gene, a professional BL writer, desperate to break out of the BL genre and try writing something else, but his publisher refuses and instead practically coerces him into writing another BL following his last successful one that was being produced into a series called 'Bad Engineer The Series'. Sitting through the audition for Bad Engineer is where he meets Nubsib, who's apparently a sheep in wolf's clothing. Nubsib is auditioning for the series and manages to snag the main lead role. It seemed to be Gene's and Nubsib's first meeting, but it's not because they met when when they were children around 14 years ago. They've got history, but it looked like Nubsib's the only one who remembers.
I would say... If you are looking for a realistic bl with all the sweet moments, tough times, challenging situations and a whole load of fluttering GENUINE MOMENTS ... THIS IS THE SHOW FOR YOU.....!!!
This drama really touched on the difference between reality vs expectations.. in life and the fact this drama was more based on an adult theme as opposed to your normal school / university theme.
The only Con I had with this drama was the last episode, why oh why did they turn it into a cartoon character, the sleeping beauty/Shakespeare/ cinderalla? that was highly annoying and probably the reason I am only giving it a 9star.
Overall: It was a well worth watch and everything was excellent.
