It's a gay, gay, gay world and I love every minute of it!
I honestly cannot pinpoint exactly why I loved this bl so much. Its 3 storylines are fairly generic(although 1 has some dark elements) and nothing new is really explored. That being said, the fact they were able to hold my interest with all 3 stories in such a short span-20-25 minute episodes and 10 episodes-speaks volumes about the production. Each story was given equal airtime and I was left satisfied with each outcome. I never felt there was "missing" plot pieces. Overall, all 6 leads were likeable and did well with their roles. Some were a bit "greener" in their acting but to be expected from some newcomers. Each couple had great chemistry, but if I had a criticism, it would be some suspect kissing between J-min and Kim Yong Seok, mostly from J-min, but this being his first role, I gave him some slack. This was a light, breezy and fun watch!Was this review helpful to you?
Lost Opportunity
What a mess of a show. There were glimmers of hope that were dashed quicky. Decisions by characters never make any sense and when 1 of the 2 main leads can't act in a dramatic scene to save his life, you've got issues. I like Gun in comedic roles, but he truly struggles if the scene calls for emotions or tears. The 2 teen characters faired better, but their story was so erratic! Here's hoping if Luminous:Begins ever gets made they improve things.Was this review helpful to you?
What a mess!
This will be short and sweet(well, not so sweet) While this had potential; beautiful cinematography, 2 male leads with nice chemistry it all went to hell in a hand basket as we progressed. This story was just bad and the editing/choppiness of it all did not help. As mentioned, the 2 mains faired well, but the rest of the cast did not. I like Marc, but he was awful here(not to mention his kissing scene was just bad). Toward the end, absolutely nothing was making any sense. And the character of Ken should have died multiple times, I mean he was strangled twice and beaten to a pulp almost every episode! It seems they had the budget to work with, but did not bother using it on a coherent script.Was this review helpful to you?
