♡Lovebirds of Century♡
Normally, I can't enjoy the fantasy romance, especially if you mix it up with bl. Most of the time, it goes wrong, and results too much cringiness. This show is more than okay. The story is pretty original. I can't say it's great though. There are tiny plot holes and things that should've been better. But it doesn't destroy the whole storyline. It's to be expected when you create a whole lot of imaginations things are easier to get messed up even in K drama, Hollywood and whatnot. That's why most bls are lighthearted romcoms. And that's why I wanna applaud the effort of the whole production team of this show, even the costumes look pretty dope. Most of things are done in minute detail.
Now, the best appreciation goes to the casting directors for choosing a whole lot of not just good-looking but great actors. I mean, they seriously know the deal. Aside from some comic relief, it's a serious show. It's okay to accept the actors who just have looks for light romance, they can make it even funnier with the actors who can't really act. Even the side characters here are no joke. For an example, the first one that came to mind would be Chu. Honestly, the character presents the good fit of a gen z great granddaughter well, not just the way she dressed. Then, Third character. Man, I swear that man can act. I've seen the actor in another drama. At first, I couldn't recognize him because he looks totally different here, then I found out and it's amazing how much he's changed according to the roles. His character is so likeable too, he's almost making me fall for the second lead syndrome. If it wasn't for San (gosh San is so fine too I can't), I definitely side with him. I especially love how Daou act as San, a boomer. He seriously look like one lol the way he talks and behave. All the other actors are great, the grandma, the grandpa and the villain girl.
SPOILER!
It's just my personal opinion, but I feel like San didn't really fall in love with Ms. Wad. Sure, she maybe his first love. We all know how first love can be, and then also he felt indebted to her for saving his life. Y'all would be like, duh he waited her his whole-hudred-years of life! At the time, he loved her because she was the only one and 'the one that got away'. The way San loves Wee is more with passion—more like life partner love.
I'm writing this review before I watch the last episode, I'm not sure how it will turn out after the final episode but I don't think it'll change my view of the show much. So it's a 9/10 for me. I love it!
FINAL THOUGHTS!
After watching / completing the series, I gotta say such a wholesome watch for me—gave me laughs and kept me agitated. The best thing about this series is the chemistry of the two main actors—Daou and Offroad never disappoint us. Rather, they make us to want more. I don't think I'll ever get bored of them being lovebirds on and off screen keke ☺️ Not just that, they're pretty good actors although they don't have much experience. I like the music too. To be honest, I think it's become one of my favorite BLs so far.
