Blueming (2022)

safe place

Allora…non so che dire di preciso ma una cosa è certa: QUESTO è ASSOLUTAMENTE UNO DEI MIEI COMFORT DRAMA.
La trama è semplice e carina, entrambi hanno dietro di sé una storia complicata.
La storia di Si Woon è molto complicata e triste, tutto il suo passato ha determinato il preoccuparsi continuamente di come è esposto agli altri, non può fare qualcosa di sbagliato che subito comincia a pensarci troppo e a trovare una soluzione per far sì che non si sparli di lui e sta cosa fa ragionare, non si dovrebbe essere ossessionati da ciò perchè sennò non vivremmo appieno la nostra vita, dobbiamo imparare a preoccuparci di meno e ad essere noi stessi, nel bene e nel male.
La storia di Da Woon, invece, non è stata raccontata, sappiamo alcune cose ma non proprio cosa ha dovuto passare quindi non riesco ad avere un preciso pensiero.
Loro due sono veramente carini e soft, anche se hanno dovuto passare qualche litigio alla fine hanno parlato e si sono chiariti.
Diciamo che nel suo insieme questo bl è fatto bene, è veramente carino, loro li amo troppo, ma purtroppo alcune parti sono per me confuse help, dovevano spiegarci meglio alcune cose ma vabbè.
Dato che l’ho amato ne pretendo una seconda stagione.

Intimate, empathetic and observant slice-of-life story

The simplicity of "Blueming" really enabled the show to focus on more serious topics such as insecurities, loneliness, and self-doubts. It's simple, raw and the dialogues are written with such authenticity that it makes it really easy to relate to the characters. It was refreshing to see how mundane their struggles were, and I loved how this show "normalized" pain. Not only that, but it doesn't judge its characters for the feelings they have. Quite a few of us might have felt that our pain isn't worth mentioning and I like how it acknowledges that no matter what you're going through, your feelings are valid. I also appreciate how they didn't give us the usual perfect main leads, instead the characters and dialogues are written with such empathy that it made the story feel genuine.

The romance is quite uneventful and I think the story benefits greatly from it. There aren't any grand gestures or declarations, instead you can see them slowly opening up to each other. It's clear they found someone they can be vulnerable with and not fear being judged. I thought their bond and the growing trust was realistically portrayed, proving you don't need a full-length show to convincingly build up a relationship.

Fitting for a story about film students, the cinematography is beautiful. It utilizes lighting and shadows to create atmospheric shots that added an artistic feel to the show. Moreover, it was rather clever that they used filming techniques they talked about in class during one of the episodes. Both lead actors seemed pretty comfortable in their roles and managed to portray the awkwardness and growing attraction quite well. The performances were rather understated, which was fitting for the story. The little touches between them and their body language felt natural and intimate. Once again, the simplicity of it all made it feel realistic and authentic.

"Blueming" is a subtle and quiet depiction of everyday struggles that will tug on your heartstrings. Some dialogues felt so familiar, and I think that's why the story resonated with me. It's a story that lingers in your thoughts, and some conversations were so well-written I could write an essay about it. It may not be perfect in all aspects, but it manages to observantly tell a story of mundane struggles in an engaging and touching way.
