The Badly Written
The story tried to bring the behind the scenes of BL series to the small screen but failed to deliver a truly convincing narrative by resorting to the use of overly childish sound effects and villainizing characters for the sake of creating drama.
The main characters are a writer and an actor who fall in love in the middle of shooting the adaptation of said writer's novel. Their relationship is tested by their work; whilst having a way to simplify the issue and work around it, they instead choose to create even more drama, stirring the plot into an unwatchable mess that you could see coming from a mile away.
Now, the series had very strong footing with the choice of actors for the main couple, the chemistry between them was enough to keep me watching the show, just to see them together. But, most moments they have together usually become detrimental, because they take most of the running time of an episode. Time that could have been well spent with other characters that were left one-dimensional and not fleshed out, when they had a lot of potential.
Overall, the series is a good watch for any BL fan, but don't come in thinking that it's
this groundbreaking, extraordinary show some people make it out to be. It has a lot of flaws, that try to be compensated by fanservice and cute moments that largely don't add anything new to the genre and hurt the story at the end.
