Dissapointing
With good k-dramas in netflix along side with this drama, I was dissapointed that I have picked this one up. I purposely didn’t read any reviews before watching this drama because it usually influence my watching experience but after 4 episodes I started to question myself if it is worth the time to continue it. At first, the only reason I decided to give it a chance is because of JIW, the rest of the cast was unfamiliar for me and I just realize later on that the FL is a former member of KARA. Usually, I can watch drama even if there is only one actor I am familiar with even if it’s bad just as long as it has redeeming value, whether it is a character, a story line or music. With this drama I do like the music, I like the character of the SL and I also wanted to try a drama with BL on it but boy it is a big mistake. I have never watched any BL drama but I feel offended with the way the lead characters intoduce LGBTQ here and how the story progress. I feel uneasy watching the first 2 episodes and continue watching it with a lot of skips while thinking why did I choose this drama when I know there is a lot of BL drama that can properly introduce me to the genre. The FL is frustratingly naive, she has no motivation or plan to change her status within her company aside from her initial outburst. It is unrealistic that she have not try to use situations to her advantage and the scene with the homophobes was too much. She thought of the idea to produce the show but she was later seen explaining that she has no intention to side in any sexual orientation. I thought the purpose of the show is to show that the gay community is not different from straight people? Isn’t it considered that you are supporting the LGTBQ community so that people accept them? Actually that was my limit, that scene shows that there is no reason to continue that show as I got confuse what is the reason of the show. The only redeeming quality of the drama is suprisingly not JIW but the second lead. I like that he was not potray as a typical homo with ‘girly attitude’ or the typical closet gay that struggle to hide his mannerism with bravado.
