A Few Errors in this Too-short Drama
The story is simple enough, enemies turned lovers in this case, Chu Sang Woo (played by Jae Chan of Dongkiz) was wronged Jang Jae Young (Park Seo Ham) who left Sang Woo doing all the work on a school project. He files a complaint against him which means he can’t graduate. This not graduating business is not resolved and the plot advances to the revenge portion of drama where Jae Young taunts Jang Jae Young with red track suits and coffee hoarding. Until at some point Jang Jae Young’s feelings change, and he starts to like this uptight, rigid programmer. Long story 8 episodes short, love blooms between lines of computer code and graphic design.
I was surprised by how good Jae Chan’s acting was since this was his first role. There was no stiffness or awkwardness in his performance. He could have played a one-dimensional character but he had some great subtlety in his dialogue and visuals. I really commend him for taking on this role. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in Korea and I know that there is not much tolerance for the LGBTQ community. Even veteran actors like Park Sung-woong took grief for his performance in Method. It’s a breath of fresh air to see more diverse dramas being made. I would love one day not to see a BL label though. Love is love.
