Okay, wow, this drama. I didn’t expect to hate it in any case, but I definitely love it way more than I thought I would. It’s absolutely one of my favorites, which - admittedly - isn’t saying much considering that I’m rather new to Asian dramas, but whatever, we’ll go with it.
I don’t have too too much to say about this without spoiling it a bit, but holy shit. Everything about this was for the most part pretty good; nothing really stood out to me as completely awful. However, there were a couple of things that stood out to me as really, really good.
One, the set. I know this probably isn’t what you’re looking for, but the set is wonderful imo. The color palette is beautiful, and it’s just a really gorgeous show to watch. It’s sometbhing you can’t help but noticing either; the difference in the rooms of Third and Khai, the unique colors of each individual set piece, the colors of sad scenes versus happier ones, all of it. Absolutely gorgeous. I just had to acknowledge that.
As far as the storyline goes, it’s a pretty simple one. Guy’s in love with his best friend but best friend is straight/a player/ oblivious/ all of the above. Not many complex things going on here. I’ll admit there were a couple of times I got confused, but for the most part, it was a simple storyline that was easy to keep up with.
That being said, even within such a simple premise, the acting and the characters still managed to blow me away. The one thing that really got me was how easily my emotions were manipulated by this show. Generally with shows like these, I’m very critical of the main character. I don’t tend to understand why they refuse to try and get over their love interest, and I end up disliking the show because it just doesn’t make sense. But with this one, they did it amazingly imo, esp in getting me to feel what Third was feeling.
The entire time I completely understood everything Third said and did and felt, and I felt the same exact way. Yes, Khai could be a bit of a dick sometimes, but the show did a wonderful job of showing the times where he wasn’t; it made me fall in love with him in the exact same way Third did, and I could easily get why despite Khai’s mistakes Third couldn’t help but forgive him. I couldn’t help it either; he was just one of those characters. I cried when Third cried, I felt hopeless when he felt hopeless, and I was happy when he was happy. And that right there is what will keep me watching this show. I adore how easy it is to understand and empathize with Third, and I his relationship with Khai is portrayed perfectly, though I’ll admit there were times where I wondered if they had anything keeping them friends other than their shared love for film. Luckily this was rectified almost immediately.
10/10 will definitely continue watching, and I can’t wait to see the next episodes and what becomes of Third and Khai. Only reason this wasn’t 10 across the board is because I don’t want to jump the gun too soon. If you’re hesitant about watching this, I say go for it.
