When I first heard this drama was going to be made into a series, I was excited. I'm always excited about a new BL. Then I saw that the first book was only going to be 4 episodes and my red flag went up.
The first episode of this, I had no idea how to feel. I was a little put off by Gun and wanted to slap Bar so hard his grand-kids would feel it. I always like to give a show (no matter the language) at least three episodes to decide if I'm going to continue or drop. Since this one only had four episodes, I continued.
Let me explain - Lets begin with the casting. Honestly, they could have done better. Win (Gun) and Folk (Bar) are good-looking but they had ZERO chemistry. Folk had this annoyed look like he didn't want to be there, almost dead behind the eyes. I know, some of the times he was supposed to be annoyed but he had the same facial expression throughout the entire thing. Win, he looked like a completely different person than the poster which is weird in itself but he was just stiff.
Then we get to the actual characters.
Gun seems like a nice enough guy. And maybe it's because the courting customs on my side of the world is different, but he was a bit stalker-ie. It feels like everywhere Bar was, Gun would show up, being all weird and creepy. I don't know if the first book was long or short, but this drama should have been more than 4 eps if they wanted it to be meaningful.
Bar on the other hand just seem as if he caved and started liking Gun because Gun wouldn't just go away.
Watching this bl was cringie the entire time. It ended and I quiet honestly am not sure what that was. I love BL with happy endings and this had one, so I supposed that was something.
It had moments of light, but I just--I'm still staring at the poster thinking "WTF?"
