um. okay?
honestly im not sure if im happy that i watched roommates of poongduck 304 before this or not...
PRODUCTION:
when i say that the fact that these dramas can be so short is their downfall? this is exactly what i mean. everything is so thrown together and makes little to no sense - the transistions are nonexistent. the camera angles were sometimes werid. flashbacks that made no sense. 10 minutes for a single episode is just not enough for a story like this. music was not memorable.
STORY:
i do honestly get what they were going for but i cant say im happy with the end result. for such a short runtime they really try to jam as much information that makes 0 sense into your brain as possible. the timeline is a mess i have no idea if this is supposed to be a couple days? weeks?? months??? idk. the dialogue is also definitely awkward too (or at least the translations made it seem that way). also the ending sucked.
CHARACTERS / ACTING:
jun ho (kim jiwoong) is fine? jiwoong is really trying his best with what he's got but the dialogue does not help at all. but honestly at the end he really is a fuckin idiot and i really dont like it when characters make stupid choices for the sake of being stupid.
min hyun (yoon seobin) has a similiar issue - but he does play such an innocent character really well. i feel like if the writing was better this could've been pulled off a lot better. seobin is trying his best though as well and really pulls through on emotion.
im so glad we have roommates of poongduck 304 because it proves that the chemistry between jun ho and min hyuk was that good that they deserved a second chance. the parts where they actually got to TALK and INTERACT?? were the best parts of the series. im telling you if you liked the chemistry between seobin and jiwoong you need to check out roommates of poongduck 304. its so much better.
the side characters - there was way too many. again - if you only have 80 minutes to tell your story. you need to cut it down. i got so confused on who the villian was and what the hell was happening. i really just didnt care and wished the focus was on the actual couple.
OVERALL:
i am new to bl and im sad to say this is the worst bl ive ever seen. the production is so awful and the story while it had potential was carried out in the worst way possible. kim jiwoong and yoon seobin carried this series but they could only do so much. if i ever watch this again it will be too soon.
