Not for everyone. But my favorite Viki BL
First things first, Color Rush has a very weird concept and I understand why people would skip it. I was honestly surprised by how dark this shows started and the actual Color Rush moment visually surprised me.
From the original Viki mini dramas, Color Rosh is my favorite one. The main actors have amazing chemistry and both did a great job. The main concept, at first glance, is weird and might sound a bit silly, same with the color rush scenes. But it's originality won me over. I’m not the biggest fan of school setting BLs because they tend to be too cheesy or whiny, but this show is kinda dark sometimes. I think the show dealt with some heavy topics (violence, grief, mental health...) in a good way.
I admit that the secondary plot line like the ghost that speaks to Min Jae, or the issue around Yeon Woo's mom and the missing Mono's goes nowhere. The missing Monos and the mom disappearing probably only exists to make his aunt travel. But I feel like it's important in the series’ universe to show how Monos are dangerous (as we see on tv every time it's on) and maybe are targeted. I expected Yoo Han to have an ulterior reason to being so obsessed with Yeon Woo so quickly. Obviously, we find out in the end that being able to recognize Yeon Woo is more than enough. But I kinda expected him to be a jerk or be scared at some point, so that not happening was refreshing. I also enjoyed the side characters and the music.
