Lily Fever (2015)

Ok, this story was honestly, confusing as fuck. It ends really openly and it just...werid. I really could get into anything about the plot and there wasn't much character development either. I was excited to finally see a lesbian drama but it just disappointed me. I thought it had so much potential in the beginning but after the first two episodes, it kinda went to shit.
The acting is pretty well done, considering all the kissing scenes the actresses have to do in such a short show. I honestly liked the characters, even though they were really...different... but not in the best way.
I enjoyed the music and I thought the opening was a BOP. The opening had a lot of personality to it and I like music pieces that can practically tell a story on it own.
I probably wouldn´t re-watch this merely considering the fact that I could be spending my time elsewhere instead of seeing this again.
If you are in the mood or are a fan of complete mind-fuck short lesbian dramas, go ahead and watch this. If you want to just watch something to keep you entertained, then this works too. As much as I didn´t like this, I can say that it really kept me intrigued throughout the entire thing. That is really all I have to say about this one.

Well, its interesting..

It had a alot of potential definitely, its one of those kdramas you wish had another season or more episodes. I was left so empty with the ending, like i shipped the two girls so much and just as everything got interesting the show ended!? BRUHH
I also wonder where half of the cast is today because I haven't seen any of the actresses in there on any recent tv shows or anything..which sucks because I grew to like them through this small role of theirs. Theres also very little GLs so this fed me well but I still wish korea focused more on making GLs like this or movies ...just anything...but they seem to only be interested in mass producing BLs lol..

Last Episode kinda ruined it..

Lily Fever is a short but (mostly) sweet drama that really flourished when it came to the acting, cast and chemistry, but unfortunately, due to a horrid last episode story-wise, suffers a lower rating than what I hoped to give this drama. It's a shame because if it wasn't for that, I would have included the story as one of the main positives, too.

Initially I was sceptical about how many scenes and story points they could fit into such little episodes, but somehow this drama managed to create two strong FLs with different personalities quite well. I thought the dialogue was a little amateurish at times but this was only something I had thought of when writing this review, so it's probably not too noticeable.

The OST is very bizarre at certain points, I was actually taken aback the first time. However, over time, I actually started to kinda like the unique OST.

All in all, I still recommend people to watch this. Just be wary of that final episode!


Personal Note: my first GL!

Do que eu entendi, ou pelo menos o que deu a entender, é que esse dorama tinha toda uma história por trás e uma continuação de tirar o fôlego porém foi cortada.
Eu acompanho doramas lgbts e sei como é difícil os produtores terem financiamento para tais dramas, e parece que foi esse o caso.
Tirando as indignações de epsódios pequenos, finais que deveriam ser continuados e só saber desse dorama agora depois de tantos anos, num geral, eu adorei, os beijos, a atuação, a caracteristica de cada moça desse dorama (que inclusive, são idols e como a coreia é machista e cai em cima de quem faz esses trabalhos lgbt que NAO seja fanservice elrs devem ter odiado e mandado droppar o dorama, mais uma contribuição para a incontinuaidade), etc.

This is exactly the kind of absurdist, gay nonsense I’m looking for

Lily fever isn’t for everyone because it doesn’t care whether it’s for you or not. With its irreverent meta humor, including constant fourth wall breaks, it’s not taking itself seriously in the slightest. It also features one of the most unhinged main characters put to screen in Serang. Serang is a character seemingly occupying a parallel, yet strange universe where constant verbal abuse, out-of-pocket actions and a general sense of “anything goes” is somehow acceptable. Serang is a true maniac with a supremely warped sense of reality. She’s “committed to the bit” so to speak. The characters around her react to this strangeness with varying degrees of disbelief, to great comedic effect. There is not shortage of genuinely odd interactions that add to the absurdity and you never really get a sense of where any of this is actually going. This might be understandably off putting for some viewers but at the very least it makes for an interesting ride. That’s not even to speak of the queer aspects of the show, a bold choice for the time and place, and Lily Fever seems to revel in both the oddity and the unique identity this gives the show. I think the actors are giving it their all and should be commended for taking part in a progressive, before-its-time type of show like this. The only real gripes I have is the fact that this was never truly finished and we’ll likely never get a real resolution. In a way, this is fitting; with no real beginning, middle, and end, Lily Fever is truly is a gay fever dream for the ages. My other gripe is just the fact that I’m only now finding this little weirdo, having been put off by the low rating

Just some project made by some group of friends (probably)

Honestly, when I first heard about this drama I expected everything but... whatever this was. I was just looking for gls as I was starving after watching the wasted potential and atrocity that was GAP the series, but THIS? This drama honestly felt like it was made by a group of good friends who may or may not have had an idea at the beginning but then got too lazy to execute it properly and decided to turn it into an unserious comedy skit/running gag type of drama. And honestly? It still was kind of entertaining to watch. The "story" (if we can even call it that) goes absolutely nowhere and everywhere all at once. It has no dept whatsoever and it's turned down to straight up ridiculousness which, in this case, works pretty well and is indeed very funny. These bizarre scenes that make no sense add a quite unique charm and identity to the drama and you can't help but watch each episodes through the end with interest. I do think that this drama can be enjoyable and that its weirdness is its force, however! if you have lots of expectations and/or if you're craving for some good gl with an actual plot and nice characterization... this is not for you. What frustrated me the most was the main characters potentials not being fully exploited (mostly Serang tbh) but anyway. I also think that the topic of the idol industry could have been an interesting choice of a plot, but again only if they'd actually had made an effort. Still a fun watch and kind of an unexpected surprise I guess,, won't be rewatching tho. The end was certainly a choice.

Confuso

Acho que esse é o primeiro drama GL que eu assisti. Fui com zero expectativas por conta da duração dos episódios e pelo enredo também. Mas queria me distrair com uma história curta. E foi isso mesmo que me proporcionou, um entretenimento rápido, leve e sem sentido nenhum. Mas pelo menos eu ri kkkk.

A história é super confusa e as coisas acontecem do nada, isso eu já esperava por conta da duração dos episódios. Mas além disso tem muitas cenas aleatórias e outras meio bizarras.

Eu gostei das atuações e da ost. Achei agradável de assistir, salvo algumas cenas que fiquei meio "o que tá acontecendo aqui?"

Provavelmente o drama foi cancelado, para ter ficado tão vago assim. Infelizmente são pouquíssimos os dramas gl. Se alguém sabe de algum que seja bom, aceito recomendações.

Enfim, eu ri em alguns momentos, consegui até passar raiva e não entendi nada.
