The Dorama Queen
That was sooo close....ARRGHHH!!!!
Okay, here we are again with a BL with huge potential to be TOP TIER, but the writers fuck it up.....*SIGH*
At first I had my doubts if I should watch this series or not. The reviews are all over the place but I still decided to give it a go because you can't really trust other people's reviews lol (but you can trust mine, okay? hahaha)
This is a story about a mom and her son, Phat, moving into a new house. In the very first day Phat can feel there's something weird about the house....and soon finds out there's a ghost living there too, Phob. The plot of the series is mostly about Phat helping Phob to remember his life in order to move on to the after life before his time runs out.
It's a very cute "boy meets ghost and falls in love" story. The main cast is pretty great - not going to lie Nut (Phob) is very charming and you'll fall in love with him by the end of the series. The chemistry was there, the kisses scenes were pretty, and their relationship was very believable! The support cast also had a great deal of weight to the story...Dream was really good!
However, the pacing of the whole series was way off....that was one the biggest reasons why this series isn't a 10 for me. In pretty much every episode there was A LOT of filler scenes that could have been EASILY cut. Long shots of their expressions, long walks, extensive reactions.....you know what I mean, right? It happened A LOT! For the first time I felt the need to skip those scenes in every episode. And I never do that. Let it be warned.
Again, the story is really beautiful, I just hoped that the writer had done a better job with the pace and put more effort into the dialog to avoid those fillers. But I don't regret watching it. The last 2 episodes got me....I cried lol. They way they handled spirituality and love was really beautifully and I ATE IT UP.
You should definitely give this series a chance....but you'll might have to skip like I did.
