This review is a personal opinion. It is not intended to sway anyone. I enjoy watching all types of art/media/dramas and my views are my own. Please watch what you want regardless of what someone else says about it.
A for effort. Not the worst nor the greatest mini-drama-series I've watched. Definitely had some issues that triggered me in some way. I tried to put aside my personal experiences when watching this, but eeekkk not a fan of the friends and not a fan of persistent characters who can't get a clue about the person being pursued. However, I do understand that the story was rushed, the actors were not the original ones and had to learn to act as a "couple" with a short time frame and the story is supposed to be 1 of 3 so maybe this was the experimental one?
Anyways, Folk could do very well acting if he is given the right role/script. But his character was wasted in this drama. He was the only one I watched this for.
The plot is pretty basic and similar to most BLs. I find that they were trying to do their own version of the HIStory series with this. I already mentioned the friends. While we love supportive friends in a BL or Gay Drama, if they aren't utilized properly they become caricatures/cartoonish. Their actions were a put off for me. Real supportive friends would have stepped in a few times when Gun was pursuing Bar and not encourage his creepy behaviors.
Likewise, a main lead that is pushy, stalkerish will always be unlikable in my book. I tried to again see it from the point of view that this was just rushed and not given proper development, but what they did put out was not that great.
What I will say is that I didn't appreciate some comments here about Gun's appearance. It was really unfortunate to read that people didn't like him because he wasn't "good looking" or "hot" or whatever. and I think this made him more unlikable to those viewers. I understand that we can connect to people/actors on a superficial level, but some of the comments about his appearance were just out of place tbh.
