bromance or BL? It's the Perth show
Without giving away any spoilers I can say episode one would make most people stop watching this,,, the only reason to power through is Perth who rises beyond an inconsistent tone, and a script that wants to be five things at once.
Let's jump to the cons: NO chemistry between the lead couple and the potential romance is built on a transactional relationship, you help me pass a test and we can play video games. I spent the first few episodes wondering if the leads were asexual celibate as they expressed no interest in each other. The script and directors didn't help, "pass your test...for me" is the closest thing to a romance or a bromance with occasional hugs.
The title is "dangerous romance" but the romance is miscast, and only one of the actors is believable: Perth, is the star attraction, and the only reason to watch this messy melodrama...the other actor with Perth is just phoning it in and doesn't want to be near Perth. Fake kisses speak volumes.
I found myself wanting to fast forward because everything seemed forced and watching people trying to act and only one person was believable in the role.
to call this "dangerous" would mean that studying hard will give you a papercut. It could be dangerous because at one point the Perth character likes two people at once. It's confusing and dangerous to keep watching awkward confusion.
That being said, the question is, should I watch it...YES, if you like the actors and watch without the sound. And can ignore the lack of anything romantic...then enjoy
