Luz em Mim (2021)

Great awesome BL

This is a great awesome series. It was done very well. I love all of the characters and they played their part very well. It shows many emotional situations that teenagers go thru and shows how to resolve them in the proper way. Maybe idealistic but I think there should be BL's that are displaying life as this is the way we hope things should be. I'm so glad the ending was good and the correct couple got together. For sure both main characters get best actor awards. Woo Tay and Noe Shin. Nam is honorable mention too. Cinematography and Music all very well done. A good watch.

This is definitely one of the better Korean BL dramas I’ve seen. The storyline is interesting and it shows a love triangle in a realistic way. The main actor is sadly one of the weaker actors in the drama, for this reason i lowered my score of the acting to a 9. the side characters, including the two love interests were very good at the roles and gave a lot of energy to their characters. This made the poorer acting skills by the main actor more noticeable in comparison. He is still very handsome and young so I am sure with more practice he can grow to be a better actor, but it was a bit noticeable in this role.

wholesome <3

High school dramas are usually a hit or miss for me. They're either not relatable enough (feels unrealistic or overexaggerated) or wind up being too cheesy (and thus, cringe). But Light on Me is different.

It has all the classic tropes from bullies to love triangle to monumental school trip, etc. Yet, I believe what's so special about it is that the show uses them in a damn near perfect way. It all flows pretty well. The characters are also extremely lovable, which helps. These themes also act as a catalyst to break down stereotypes/stigma around LGBT+ relationships, a very controversial and sensitive topic in a conservative country like Korea. Especially, Daon's character arc allows this to be done in a direct yet gentle way. The actors are great at handling their character's emotions with such loving care. You can tell a lot of thought went into the facial expressions and body language, which is beautiful to watch unfold.

While this series is extensive for a web drama (which is great), I would've preferred more time spent on Taegyeong and Shinwoo's relationship. Shinwoo feels rather complete. However, Taegyeong feels a bit empty at times. I can see how that would be intentional considering his attitude toward socializing has only changed recently and therefore, he needs time to figure out how to express himself. I feel as though adding one more piece to their story wouldn't hurt the development of this couple, but they did just fine without it too. Not really any plot holes in my mind, just some stuff I wish was wrapped up neater.

Overall, it's a cute drama that keeps you hooked in! All the characters grow in a nice, wholesome way, together. If you like something short & sweet, this will be the show for you.

I loved it !!

Même si je ne suis pas très familière avec les BL KR mais j'ai beaucoup aimé celui ci. J'ai commencé à regardé par hasard et je n'ai pas été déçue. La dynamique de cette série m'a plu et j'ai du le revoir une fois de plus quand je l'avais terminée.
Le fait que Wu Tae Gyeong décide enfin de sortir de sa solitude et se faire des amis m'a touché, je ne sais pas pourquoi (après tout ce n'est la seule série avec ce plot) mais j'ai eu un réel coup de cœur pour ce personnage que j'ai trouvé très attachant.

Concernant SI Wu je l'ai trouvé plutôt mignon même si son personnage était sensé lui donné un air cool xD

J'ai beaucoup aimé leur rapprochement et je recommande vivement cette série

This show should be called Daon and the Others cause.

I watched this show when Kbls weren't too big and crazy like they are now, and at the time I honestly thought this bl was a solid wholesome high school drama with a cute couple and villians like Daon and that girl who's name I dont recall, but boy was I wrong. A couple of months after my first watch, I decided to watch lom again, surprisingly it felt like i was watching a new show. After paying more attention to the other characters like Namgung and Daon, I came to the conclusion that the writers messed up so much cause, how can a so called villain get more character development than the main ones? Daon is described as this guy who is nothing but a people pleaser, a guy who has a perfect life, since he has money, popularity, and is also the school president so, what could go wrong in his life? So at this point we all know he’s queer and he falls for our main character (who’s the most boring person aliveee), but reality hits when they get outed. Taekyung get’s mad at Daon cause he wanted his time to sort his mind after the whole school that was ruled by him, suddenly saw him as a weird insect walking though those hallways. As a queer person myself, I can’t help but to put myself in daon’s shoes, I am an extroverted, leader, pationate girl who could be called popular, but deep in my heart I know that if my sexuality ever gets out there, everything that I’ve constructed will come to an end. That’s called reality, some people can’t afford to live in those false mentalities that tell us to live our life and don’t care about others, but in the outside world we could get killed. Also, something that people tend to overlook is the fact that Shinwoo preferred to help a guy he just met, giving him advice and offering him a shoulder to lean on, so he wouldn’t feel alone because of his queerness, than to help his fellow student council member AND friend just because he liked a guy he knew nothing about??? WOWWW tysm shinwoo?? i guess? anyways the only good characters are daon and namgung cause they are cunty hot girls. ty for reading xx

Engaging story smolders but never bursts into flame

This is a beautiful story and the production values are top notch. The characters and actors are appealing and the 16 episodes never felt padded just to fill time, yet "Light on Me" sort of smolders but never bursts into flame as a bromance. This may be a cultural thing, because this seems to be common to the Korean BL dramas when compared to the gold standard of Thailand. The plot is your basic love triangle. Woo Tae Kyung, who has always been a loner, makes his first friend in Shin Da On, which evolves into a romantic interest. Meanwhile, Noh Shin Woo has fallen in love with Woo Tae Kyung at first sight, but he is sort of invisible to our hero for the first half of the drama. In fact, they are enemies for the first half due to the fact that Noh Shin Woo is forcing himself not to get attached to Tae. The series peaks at mid-point when Tae and Shin Woo have a sleepover, but Tae falls asleep on Shin Woo's shoulder -- that's as bromantic as it gets. Shin Da On rejects Tae for reasons that are not exactly clear -- it's suggested he's from a prominent family where a same sex relationship would impair his career or disappoint his parents. There's a scandal at school about a rather innocuous picture of two guys with hands outstretched, as if shaking hands. Certainly a photo that tame could be written off as hand shaking -- the boys were 3 feet apart. The central plot of Tae realizing that Noh Shin Woo has been there all the time, sort of in the background, never quite delivers the impact it should after 16 episodes. We finally get a kiss at the end, but even that is far too subtle -- and, frankly, too late in the drama. That should have occurred about episode 13 with more romantic scenes taking us to the conclusion. Meanwhile, the storyline for Shin Da On feels unresolved.. So, as much as I loved this drama, I'm left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The real oddity here is why was the first episode incorporates graphic gay sexual references (apparently visual aids for a high school sex education class) but the rest of the drama is strictly a G-rated, almost asexual story about ordinary friendship.

Me venia quejando de que los bls coreanos son cortos y por ende no se llega a desarrollar la historia y te deja todo una sensacion rara, como que el concepto esta bueno pero terminas sintiendo que viste un resumen o un trailer de lo que vendria a ser la serie. Pero al fin encontre este bl que no solo tiene 16 capitulos sino que ademas duran de 20-30 minutos!! Un monton comparado al resto que suelen ser de 8 caps y a lo sumo 15 minutos. Y justamente con esto confirme que el largo de la serie permite desarrollar los personas y el romance dejandome mas satisfecha.

Bueno, a lo que es el bl. Hablando de los personajes, me parecieron muy bien construidos y profundizados.

Taegyeong a veces me daba bronca porque parecia demasiado autista pero he kinda like me fr asi que lo entiendo. Ademas me hacia acordar a jeongin de skz asi que me daba ternura.

Shinwoo me gusto solo los primeros capitulos cuando se hacia el que odiaba a Taegyeong y los ultimos cuando ya se le confesaba 24/7, lo cual hizo que no me enfocara mucho en el la verdad, pero tambien supongo que lo hicieron asi aproposito porque toda la serie el foco estuvo en Daon mas que en él. Anyways, tambien me siento un poco identificada con el porque es medio socially awkward. Eso tambien hace que su relacion con Taegyeong sea particular, me parecen muy parecidos y no se si eso es bueno o malo en una pareja. Como que se entienden porque tienen una personalidad parecida pero a la vez siento que mas adelante eso les va a traer problemas en cuanto a que ambos son shy y callados y etc.

Namgung obvio me encanto es literalmente Haknyeon de the boyz!! lo amo y bueno kedesir de So Hee dios que personaje infumable igual es obvio que la construyeron para causar justamente eso y bueno cumplieron con su cometido.

Y bueno, Daon <3 me gusta un monton :( me hubiese gustado que se quede con él la verdad. Ya sabia que no. pues me habia spoileado. pero a lo largo de la serie me encontre pensando varias veces como es que va a terminar Taegyeong con Shinwoo??

Primero porque Taegyeong se llevaba muy bien con Daon, tenian muy lindas interacciones, se notaba que era reciproco el sentimiento, y despues de todo el conflicto, a Taegyeong le gustaba Daon aun a pesar de todo. Pero bueeeno, eso como que no llego a entender por que le gusta Shinwoo. Ya se que teoricamente es porque el estuvo ahi para el, que Daon tiene eso de tratar bien a todos y hacer que Tae no se sienta especial, pero al final te muestran el glow up de Daon, que empieza a priorizarse y a tratar diferencialmente a Tae, hasta te muestran en el ultimo capitulo que Daon le dio un besito en la frente y eso no es algo que haga con todos :(
A la vez, ya se que es todo un tema del timing, de persona indicada pero no en SU momento indicado. Lo cual tambien me alegra porque Daon se dio tiempo para pensar y conocerse a si mismo y dejar de darle bola a las personas que se quieren aprovechar de su amabilidad.

(TW // momento de introspección)
Tambien creo que dice mucho de mi persona lo que me afecta todo el cambio de Daon, fue para mi el plot mas interesante. I'm a sucker for personas que cargan en sus hombros la responsabilidad de ser amables, buenos academicamente y diligentes, y que por eso dejan de lado como se sienten o no se paran a pensar un segundo en si quieren hacer eso que estan haciendo o si cabe la posibilidad de negarse, como si eso fuese a restarles valor como personas (si, kineo a Akk de the eclipse y Luisa de encanto como te diste cuenta). En conclusion, TE AMO DAON.

Algo que quiero destacar tambien es toda la homofobia interiorizada que sufria Daon, lo cual esta claramente arraigado a su necesidad de demostrar que vale como persona tanto a su familia como a sus compañeros, lo malo es que eso no solo lo lastimo a el sino que tambien a Tae.

Tambien la actitud que tienen los del colegio para con Tae, Daon y Shinwoo me parecio muy bien mostrada. No siempre la homofobia que uno sufre es por parte de un grupo de personas haciendo un bullying violento o fisico de manera constante o con un target especifico, sino que son esos pequeños comentarios que van haciendo las personas en el pasillo a tus espaldas o incluso de frente, que no llevan a nada o no lo hacen con una malicia real. Lo hacen tal vez de curiosos o porque nunca vieron nada igual y tienen la necesidad de comentarlo, pero al fin y al cabo el que recibe esos comentarios le pesa toneladas. Varias veces paso, por ejemplo cuando estaban Tae y Shinwoo en la calle y se acerca un compañero de Shinwoo a hacer un comentario tipo ah sos gay? y ahi Shinwoo lo para y el compañero se disculpa y se va!! Lo cual es tan ridiculo pero tan real, esa pregunta tan estupida que hizo el compañero que seguro no penso ni 2 segundos antes de hacerla pero que puede afectar tanto al otro si aun no esta curtido (ejem Daon ejem) es algo muy comun.

Y nada que ver pero el complot que hicieron Daon y Taegyeong en el ultimo capitulo para molestar a Shinwoo aaa su momento gaslight girlboss girlkeep los amo :(
Tambien me encanto el beso muy cute!! Como Shinwoo lo agarra de la nuca a Taegyeong y le da un beso como si Tae fuese fragil pero a la vez como si se hubiese aguantado las ganas de besarlo por años y ese momento al fin estaba llegando! (aunque me hubiese gustado que Taegyeong no se haya quedado tieso)

IDK muy bueno brothers, se convirtio en no solo mi bl coreano favorito sino que tambien esta en mi top de bls en general!
