gays rise!
This review may contain spoilers
I watched the first episode of this when it started airing but I wasn't feeling it so I put it on hold. I thought this was going to be one of those overdramatic love triangle thing and nothing gets properly resolved.
Whew boi was I wrong.
Dark blue kiss feels different compared to other BL dramas as it portrays a realistic view on a gay relationship that has its conflicts and misunderstandings with the addition of not being out to the public. And in this drama, they do address how hard it is to come out as it is not the same for everyone.
I think what I liked the most about PeteKao is that they balance each other well and they have actual proper conversations. In other words, they know how to communicate with each other. This also shows that they've dealt with many problems/fights before but what matters is they sit down and talk about it. Communication is key!!! (Other BL dramas, please take notes)
Hmmm... SunMork... I mean I love these two but the way their relationship bloomed which was that night at the bar.... maybe it's just me... it lacked a bit of climax?? (Well, we all know another kind of climax happened hA ha ha) Anyway, it's good that Mork and Sun found each other as they both need some warmth in their lives.
The female characters??? I love them all!!! Sandee, Manow and Kitty?? The holy trinity omgg I absolutely love that the girls were written in a way that is likable to the viewers. We don't get to see that very often in BL dramas so that's quite nice to see.
Pete's dad and Kao's mom??? They're the parents that everyone wish to have. It's super heartwarming to see how supportive these two are with their children. It makes me feel kinda bad for Non... this kid deserves a better guardian that will lead him to a better path. Non's dad should realise that the way he treats his child is no different to how you forget and leave something in the oven to burn. It's okay to discipline your child as long as you're not overtaking their freedom in having their own aspirations and goals of what they want to do. Teach them, talk to them, be with them but don't act like you're never in the wrong.
Overall, this was like a breath of fresh air. I wish to see more BL dramas written in a similar way and not just "I'm not gay. I only like ***".
