Bromance over Romance?
Not going to lie, this was one of the few series that I actually started while it was still airing. With the community & fans sharing constant clips, images, quotes etc, it was a hard series not to pickup.
The chemistry between the cast was great and can definitely be considered borderline BL. The overall story for the drama was good. You got the idea of the roles of the cursed objects throughout the series and these objects actually had a role in the outcome of the end of the drama. It wasn't just useless side stories. For example the Moths were used to determine that Dome had no memory.
Could it have been done better? Definitely! There were a lot of plot holes with both the main story line, side characters, character development and more. There was also a lot of useless scenes. I will admit I started to get bored / annoyed with dome "Sleeping" for 1/2 the series. Yes it did make sense in a way, but I would've preferred to see some more side stories leading up to the main event. Even a major time skip would've been better.
On the other hand, if you are a major fan of hurt scenes like myself (Guilty Pleasure Teehee), then definitely watch this drama. Each episodes contains one of the following: Fainting, Stabbing, Mind Control, Kidnapping, Fights etc. Needless to say you won't get bored.
One of the downsides of this drama was the wasted potential of the female characters. I fell in love with the character June since her original appearance. She was a strong minded & supportive character that had so much potential. The actress was extremely talented and it would've been great to see the character utilized more throughout the story as a key support pillar between dome & Khatha. This was also the same with Bam, except her character development & role in the drama became essentially useless in my eyes. With no real reason for her to be there, they might as well have left the character out completely. With little to no character development & backstory, what was the point.
The ending of the drama to me was lackluster. The opening for a second season was ok, but not executed in a way that excited me to finish season 1. If the drama doesn't get a season 2 then I'd definitely add it to the "Bad Endings" list. I'll have hope for now and wish for a second season.
Overall I will be adding this drama to my favorite's list. The chemistry between Gun & Tor is definitely a duo I'd like to see again. The overall story was great & the cast who played dome, khatha and june were amazing to the point that I believe they carried the series.
If you are a fan of hurt / comfort / borderline BL then it's definitely a must watch!
