The Best BL of 2023 So Far

Ok, I may be exaggerating but I truly do not think so. I was a little nervous with the first episode; the whole “I gotta win the girl” trope isn’t one of my favorites in BL’s but I wanted to give it a chance. By episode two I was really glad I did. Where this story really shines is in watching how Kawi developed as a character. you aren’t supposed to fully like him right away. he has a lot of growing and learning he needs to do and it is beautiful to watch the process. I was also very nervous about the sick dad plot, as someone who lost my dad fairly recently there is a lot of ways it can be done wrong. I felt the way they handled it even with the time travel was so respectful and heartwarming. Also, I can’t write this review without commenting on the main couple’s chemistry. it’s more subtle than other couples but in a beautiful homey feeling sort of way. watching them feels like I’m watching a couple regale me with their experiences through their lives and I just get to sit and listen. I absolutely adore this show and would (and have) recommend it to anyone.

I wish it were longer

I was really excited for Jun & Jun when a lot of the promo was first coming out. it seemed like an interesting office romance that I was really intrigued by. while I think it delivered on a lot of my expectations, there were quite a few spots where it faultered in my opinion. I think this show truely suffered from its short run time and few episodes. I wanted so badly to get to know each of the four main characters but it felt as though most of them ended up being stereotyped shells. If we had had more time with each character I feel like I would have enjoyed the show way more. now on the positive side, I feel as though the casting was phenomenal. the actors did a wonder job for what they were given and found ways to add nuances to their performance to make the characters more interesting over all. I would still recommend this show to anyone who enjoys the genre; but it wouldn’t be my pull for a first time bl or office romance viewer.
