Mystery Show with BL Elements
**Brief Synopsis**
B (Doctor): Dr. Bun
T (N/A): Tan
- Beginning: B is a medical examiner who has newly arrived in town. The story starts when a friend of his is killed and the police are eager to mark it off as a suicide. He doesn’t believe them and tries to investigate on his own even after someone threatens him to stop.
- Middle: T volunteers to help B with his investigation and after helping B a few times, B finally starts trusting him and they grew closer and start getting more intimate. B end up moving to T’s house to hide from his attackers.
- End: The story ends with the revelation that the head of police is actually involved in human trafficking and drugs and that the girl who died at the beginning found out about this and was threatening to expose them.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The show is a mystery show with BL elements because most of the show focuses on the case. This also means there is little relationship angst. The only angst part is when A found out B lied to him but that part is resolved very fast. But otherwise, the interactions between A and B are very cute and lighthearted. I also like the fact that they work together to solve the case.
- The acting is really nice and the leads do a great job at displaying the love between the main characters. The rest of the actors do a pretty good job as well...at least better then other shows.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Pacing is kind of weird for the romance part because it seemed a little too fast. It’s easier to accept if you looked at it as love at first sight. Pacing for the case is pretty okay.
- The mystery feels a little weak and predictable. Very simple and predictable storyline with no plot twists or especially notable moments. Although the show presents itself as a who-done-it type of show, it was pretty obvious since the beginning what the overarching narrative was going to be. The trope “girl got killed because she knew too much” has been done numerous times before.
- Because of its subject matter, the themes dealt are also pretty dark. Themes such as drug addiction, governmental corruption, greed, prostitution are all present.
**Conclusion**
Anyone who wants to watch a detective show with BL elements can take a look. This follows the same template as American detective tv series.
