Riding the hype but missing the mark
As soon as the first few vampire BL's were announced, we knew this would be a new hype. And what do companies do with hypes? If they don't create them, they ride them! But what kind of a ride will it be....
In this case a bumpy one. LomgLee and Frank have never had too many compliments about their acting skills or even their chemistry. But in this one it's far below par. They seem to just go through the motions, even in de comedy bits, where they are usually ok, here they completely miss the mark. This is not helped by the overly present comical sound- and visual effects.
The other actors are not improving the overall quality. They are either overacting or seem very lost. I part, the material is to blame. It's a cheap, "laugh or i{ll shoot" kind of comedy. If you are a fan of these, you might get something out of it. I would love to be able to say that it had potential. but I fail to see where the potential is. The story is paperthing, the comedy is hardly comical, the acting is bad.
There are plenty of kisses and NC-scenes, but these feel cold, all have the same choreography and lack in chemistry. Even the rape scene (because that's what that is!) doesn't make me feel anything but disappointment.
A plus? The music. The OST is great.
