Offers little for both BL and OnlyOneOf fans alike

As someone who is a fan of OnlyOneOf, I really would not have watched this if it were not for the group being in it. Sadly, not even they could save this absolute pile of garbage.

I understand a lot of BLs have small budgets but this one seems basically nonexistent which is a bit confusing when compared to the camera quality which is really good. I fail to understand why this company took on producing this show if they seemingly spent all their money on getting the group. They even reuse music and music videos from the group in the series which is just completely jarring and makes no sense in the context of the series. They seriously couldn’t have just filmed at least a little bit of a music video if it was going to be such an important part of the series?

The plot is nonsense, which is not entirely the fault of the writers. The webtoon is also nonsense and pretty weird, but then again why the company chose *this* webtoon to adapt into live action is beyond me. The premise definitely could be interesting, but the series feels like it goes nowhere. Even when some drama ensues, it ends as soon as it starts and is pretty uneventful.

Jihoon and Eden’s romance feels very random to me. They are both okay characters and have likable qualities but I fail to see why they like each other. They barely have any romantic interactions unless you consider sharing a burger and a small kiss which only one party remembers romantic. Both of their sudden feelings for each other, but especially Eden’s, feel extremely random.

For the most part, the members did a decent job with their acting. But I will say it is painfully obvious at times that this is all of their acting debuts and some performances and scenes are less convincing than others.

I think this series fails for both regular BL fans and OnlyOneOf fans alike. If you are an OnlyOneOf fan, it’s disappointing to see the members’ acting debuts being in such a strange and disorganized show. If you’re a regular BL watcher, it’s disappointing to watch such a low-budget, unengaging series with barely any chemistry between the two leads. This series fundamentally fails at appeasing either of the two audiences it is trying to target.

A Nothing Burger of a Show

I watched “Silhouette of Your Voice,” the movie adaptation of the same manga, a day before the first episode of this series aired. I found the movie a bit boring as the plot felt like a whole lot of nothing, but I chalked this up to the limitations of its runtime and that a series fleshing out the plot would greatly improve on an honestly interesting story. I don’t want to say I was sorely mistaken as I think the potential is still there, but this series definitely failed to do much else with the plot compared to the film.

There’s really no excuse for this series to be as long as it is with so little going on. After watching all 12 episodes, I can’t even really tell you anything new I learned about the characters that I didn’t already know after the first two. These characters feel extremely two-dimensional which is disappointing as they have so much potential. All I know about Kouhei is he can’t hear and he feels sad because he’s different. All I know about Taichi is he loves to eat and… well, that’s about it.

Even though Taichi serves as the main character of this series, I cannot, for the life of me, understand why (outside of the idea that he is the stand-in for the hearing able-bodied audience.) He’s extremely boring as a character and the choices he makes and the actions he takes make little sense to me. Maybe it’s his actor’s fault, but Taichi always just has this completely expressionless, borderline bored look on his face whenever anything is happening. The entire series I could not tell if he was developing feelings for Kouhei because, every time Taichi looks at him, he looks bored out of his mind! It’s really a shame because I found Kouhei’s actor pretty decent especially when it comes to emotional scenes.

Even worse, all of the side characters felt pointless to the story, doing the exact opposite of progressing the plot. The only side character of any actual significance is Maya, whose purpose I didn’t really understand. She kind of just seemed like Stock Female Character In BL That Drives A Wedge Between The Two Leads And Gets Audiences Angry #372827. I think most people agree her backstory added nothing to the plot (if there even is one at this point.)

Also, I am totally fine with a lack of physical affection in romance dramas if there is enough drama and plot to make up for it. For example, there wasn’t even a kiss in “Cherry Magic” but there was enough of an interesting plot and intriguing drama that most audiences don’t care. In “I Hear The Sunspot,” I feel like they had an even bigger chance than “Cherry Magic” to have a really interesting and compelling plot to make up for the lack of a *proper* kiss and yet they completely fumbled the ball. Somehow this is a romance drama that failed at both romance and drama.
