Beyond the BL cliché, Allure and Shortcomings
High Points:
* Stunning visuals: The directorial and cinematography team (same as KinnPorsche) delivers beautiful aesthetics with a rustic modern feel.
* Captivating music: The score composed by Jeff Satur is another strong point of the series.
* Engaging plot: The story is a fast-paced melodrama with angst, misunderstandings, and over-the-top villains, keeping you hooked.
* Powerful performances: The cast, especially Poom, shines with their acting abilities.
* Unique concept: The series attempts to break away from the typical high school/university BL themes.
Lower Points:
* Unconvincing romance: The NC scenes lack passion and
might lead to skipping.
* Predictable plot: If you're familiar with the "crematorium"
genre, the central plot might be predictable.
* Wasted Potential: Winner's (2nd Joe) potential is
underutilized, and some character arcs feel rushed in the final episodes.
* Rushed side couple romance: The introduction of a romantic relationship between secondary characters at the very end feels tacked on and unconvincing.
* Unsatisfying ending: The dramatic shift from tension-filled betrayal to a wholesome family resolution feels unearned. The overly forgiving conclusion may leave some viewers unsatisfied.
Overall:
This series is neither a flop nor a masterpiece, a decent choice if you're looking for something beyond lighthearted BL fluff. However, be prepared for melodrama and uneven pacing.
