My Bromance (2018)

Cute & Light

STORY:
Nothing intricate or complicated here, but that's not a bad thing! Descriptive words that come to mind are lighthearted, fun, silly, and over the top. I laughed several times while watching this series, and it put me in a good mood. That plus the fact that the episodes are so short (around 7-10 minutes) makes this a great series for lazy afternoons or when you need some filler in between dramas. The production value and filmography impressed me as well! Not sure what the budget was, but even if it was small you wouldn't be able to tell from watching.

A note for anyone curious about the BL: It's there, but it makes up a relatively small portion of the show, which focuses more on the relationships between the mother and her children. It's still a fun and entertaining series to watch, though, but don't go in expecting this to be primarily a BL story (but what we did get was really cute!).

ACTING/CAST:
Loved all of them and they all did a really great job. Like the story, they were silly and over the top, not taking themselves too seriously, but they have some sweeter, more serious moments as well (without being too heavy). I thought the ladies were a tad stronger (and I freaking love Erica!); the guys were good, but I did notice that some of their delivery was a tiny bit stiff (like they were just saying the lines and going through the motions but not really acting).

MUSIC:
No complaints here. I liked the opening theme and thought it set the mood for the show nicely.

OVERALL:
If you're interested, go for it! This was a nice little break and I thought the producers and actors did a really good job with this web series. I would love for them to make a follow-up season so we can see more of the relationships that developed near the end.

Although the story of the Taiwanese series is ordinary, moreover, it is made more comedic, Asian comedic (for the European viewer, sometimes even exaggerated, silly, stupid), so some people would not even take it (the character of the horrible mother was really overwhelming...ha ha), I do not recommend zol & spol., so that they don't get hit by pepka.
On the other hand, the male component was like something out of a fairy tale. Such wonderful Taiwanese, but next to each other, I have not seen in one series (maybe except for the Taiwanese series Dark Blue and Moonlight) and Hao Ran seems to have fallen out of the eye of symposia Ian (apparently he is his double) from the beautiful Vietnamese film Goodbye Mother .. .To my assessment: I look at this series from the point of view of Asia, I mentally armed myself for more "comedy" because I don't even like this kind of western humor in the form of horrible amounts of various "sitcoms", on the other hand, everything was abundant for me returned in the form of the delicious male part of the cast.
