The BL Abyss
I’ve read better fanfiction.
I have asked myself ‘why am I still watching this show’ since episode 4 or 5, and I can’t give you an answer.
My rating (which started as a 7) has dropped dramatically after every episode I watched.
So far this show has lacked any type of direction and is struggling to tell a simple story. Some may say “it’s only a BL” but there have been a few BL’s over the past year alone that have managed to turn the tide for the genre (Bad Buddy, KinnPorsche & Not Me).
When Check Out episode 0 aired it showed potential at being a mature BL that was moving away from the usual drivel that is produced. However, the story telling from the first episode has been weak.
If the show writers were struggling to come up with compelling characters and a story, the amount of characters should have been reduced along with the amount of episodes released. This show could have perhaps been a nice mini-series if there was decent direction for the actors and a compelling dramatic affair storyline. I’ve read better fanfiction.
