excellent kdrama with a bl spin
Honestly, when I heard JiWoong and Seobin were returning for a second outing in the BL world, I almost fell off my chair. Cobranding in Korea is unheard of in this manner, but to be honest, if it was going to be anyone, it'd be these two. Friends before they filmed Kissable Lips, their first offering (vampire college-based drama with a sad ending but showcases their chemistry and acting chops with a heavy plot) showed us their potential. In terms of originality, it was a similar enemies to lovers office based drama, however involved a chaebol and an intern, with the added complexity of a landlord/tenant dynamic that made for some comedic situations. The last few episodes introduced dramatic tension, the one nitpick I have being that Team Leader's past could have been explored earlier, giving more depth and explanation to his character and decisions, however at least we got something, which is more than I can say for others. Poongduck is an enjoyable, comfortable rewatch series as well, and fans of the pair got their happy ending in this drama. With a fan meeting coming, all signs are pointing to actual cobranding, and hopefully more series from JiWoong and Seobin in future. Their chemistry, raw acting talent and skill are too good not to see more of.
