The Dorama Queen
This review may contain spoilers
Trust me...it's a MUST watch!!!!
I'm not one of those BLs fans that only watch the shows because of the spicy scenes...but of course we all love them and it does play a part in one way or another hahaha.
However, this BL is not a spicy nor a cute romance story. It has a heavily political storyline about a group of friends that are fighting for social justice and equality against powerful forces. The first half of the story sets the base of the plot and tells the story of our main characters White and Black, twin brothers that have a special connection but were raised apart from each other. White is an intelligent soft boy and Black is the tough and protective one (their names were a little too much lol but let's ignore that).
Everything begins when White finds out that his brother Black is in a coma after not hearing from him since childhood. White remembers an old promise and decides to infiltrate his brother's gang by pretending to be Black. He's willing to trade a bright future for a dangerous lifestyle.
The second half of the story is when the romance side of the plot starts to develop. WhiteSean are the main couple of the show, they have a pretty rough start on the first half because Sean and Black always were in conflict, but things started to change after White took Blacks place....and of course it's a perfect enemies to lovers trope, but very endearing and captivating. I was sold! There are other couples as well, but like I said the drama isn't written around romance. It is just one layer of this delicious onion lololol
It was really well written and produced. Hats off to the team here.....really great BL that is not about engineering or older rich guys that have a crush on their younger and slightly poorer "bros" lol don't get me wrong I LOVE those too lol but it's great to watch something COMPLETELY different and enjoy it just as much.
The cast is 10/10, both main and support were incredible....I really can't complain. Gun (White/Black) was absolutely incredible in this one! Off (Sean) was also just as amazing with his performance....you could see that they dove in head first in these characters.
Of course there are some plot holes (as expected) and the show isn't perfect, but overall it was 100% worth the watch!
