Overcomes the formula plot with great cast and beautiful dancing
The heart of “You Make Me Dance” is a beautiful love story about an debt collector who falls in love with a young dancer that owes his agency money. The fatal flaw of the plot is presenting the debt collector as someone who’s just out to manipulate the dancer into repaying his debt. The better subplot has to do with a rival dancer who is out to undermine our hero’s attempts to win the lead role in an upcoming production. It would have been better to forget all the cartoonish business about the collection agency and use the rivalry for the dramatic tension. The whole script feels like a first draft that was rushed into production without some much needed rewrites and polishing. But the show is saved by a great cast and some beautiful dancing scenes. The production values of Korean BL dramas are always top notch but the romantic moments are pretty tame by Thai and Filipino standards. It’s definitely worth watching with a few fast forwards through the unnecessary debt collection agency scenes.
