The Loyal Pin (2024)

Una delusione

Avevo alte aspettative da questo drama perché di GL ce ne sono già pochi in rapporto ai BL e, in linea di massima, le FreenBecky mi hanno sempre dato vibes super positive.
Avevo già guardato GAP e ho rischiato, ahimè, di dropparlo a pochi episodi dalla fine, ma spinta dallo stesso sentimento mi ero sforzata di completarlo.
Purtroppo non sono riuscita neanche a finire il primo episodio, troppe cose che stonavano e che mi hanno fatta addormentare letteralmente durante la visione. Onestamente non so se la trama migliorerà col proseguire della serie, ma dal primo episodio ho sentito puzza di drammi inutili che ci sarebbero stati e la recitazione mi stava facendo cascare le braccia.
GAP non è stata eccezionale e non ho apprezzato al 100% i personaggi, ma con The Loyal Pin ho avuto il dubbio che il problema non fossero le trame, le sceneggiature, ma sarà forse la recitazione delle FreenBecky il problema?
Non riescono a mantenere la mia attenzione, per quel poco che ho visto mi è sembrato tutto fin troppo lento e superfluo già dal primo espisodio.
Deciderò in futuro se provare a dare una seconda occasione alla serie, ma per adesso non riesco proprio.

This GL series is, without a doubt, the most visually striking one I've ever come across.

I’m not here to spoil the story in my review; I simply want to express my feelings.

Initially, I didn’t expect much from the series. Yet, Freen and Becky have shown remarkable growth since their last project together.

The series is so mesmerizing that I felt as if I had stepped into a fairytale. The visuals are absolutely stunning!

Freen and Becky share an incredible chemistry that genuinely makes it seem like they are in love. Their interactions feel authentic and effortless, creating a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. You can truly sense the bond between them, leaving you eager for more of their charming moments together. This is what makes their portrayals of Anin and Pin so remarkable—they breathe life into these characters in a way that feels authentic.

I have to admit, there are times when I really can't stand kissing and love scenes. This feeling applies not only to GL but also to BL and straight series. Why is that? Because these scenes often feel so awkward and cringy. I often find myself watching them at twice the speed or just looking away to avoid the cringe. It seems like many actors don’t have the chemistry (or the confidence) needed, and they perform these scenes just because they’re part of the script.

I've mentioned before that the connection between Freen and Becky is exceptional, and that's precisely why their intimate scenes are so beautifully crafted. You can tell they aren't just performing these moments to check a box; they genuinely feel at ease with each other. This comfort translates into their scenes, making them feel authentic and enjoyable rather than clumsy or uncomfortable. If you’re like me and often feel uncomfortable during such scenes, I promise you’ll love how these are portrayed.

This series has a charm that makes it so easy to watch again. I can definitely see myself coming back to it after some time because it feels like it will never go out of style.

This series turned me into a true fan of Freen and Becky. Before watching The Loyal Pin, I was just a casual viewer, but now I’m genuinely excited to support their acting careers and follow their journey. I hope they team up again in another series, but I’m also keen to check out any other projects (non-GL) they pursue, as they’ve really grown into amazing actresses.

Is this series worth your time? Absolutely! You'll feel as if you've stepped into a genuine fairytale, witnessing a heartfelt love story unfold between two women deeply in love.
