The trailer looked amazing! I love that they released all the episodes at once, cause it sucks waiting for the next episode and they also have more episodes than most Korean BLs do! I think this is more of a comfort drama. And ofc my queen Hwang Da Seul made it, I love her BL’s. The actors are so fine ? ! I love the theme of this series, don’t judge people on the way they look instead on how they act. A total of 5 kisses in this series, wow I’m impressed, Korean BL’s usually don’t have that many.

BLUEMING **That Kind of Comfort Drama We all need**
First and foremost I'd like to congratulate the whole productions and crews for a job well-done.Production -⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
* There couldn't be any more great and fitting to how these simple yet effective 'production' draws the amount of right elements to scenes and overall settings that the whole story has been trying to indulge to the viewers. For a short web series their productions are not to be taken lightly. I personally do think they give all what they can offer. Blueming is a living proof of MASTERPIECE❤️❤️❤️
Story- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
*Let's not forget how the story gradually unfolds in a way that we as viewers find edgy in our seats just to witness how the actors express the right amount of emotions. I like that the story delivers the message it tries to convey. The two leads matches the story itself. It's as if they are the living personification of how the life of Si Won and Da On should be.
Acting-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
* I wanna commend these actors (supporting actors to be specific) who have been exceptionally putting out their best just to give the level of angst and flavor. It's about how big is the production cost, but it's about how these actors fully internalize and justified their given role regardless of its weight and importance. You need actors that can act and thus I'm so proud and to see that these up and coming actors who wish to be known in the entertainment industry and finally given a chance to showcase what they have in-store in their sleeves. Considering Hyuk Joon and Eun Bin being an amateur in this field but guess what. They did it! They delivered more than what they were asked to give.
OST⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
* It's of no doubt as far as OST is concern, Korean Dramas are topnotch. They will bring you somersault kind of feeling just by listening their OST. One Minute you feel happy next minute you feel sad. That's how strong they can pull emotions by simply embroidering their one of a kind OSTs - scenes after scenes. Yet I'm not complaining. In fact I so love every second and bits of it.

Did not care for this, at all
This is not a series I would ever rewatch cos I struggled to even finish this even though it was barely 15mins an episode, this was definitely not my cup of tea. I dislike woe is me characters and goody2shoes characters the most and in this series Cha Si Won is the definition of woe is me. Everybody in the world has stuffs they are going through. You were fat when you were young, news flash so was a lot of other kids. FYI I am not discounting his “tough” childhood but don’t go expecting people to be walking on egg shells around you when everyone is going through their own shit. It’s hilarious (and not in a good/funny way) that Cha Si Won is narrating his childhood trauma to Hyeong Da Un in ep6 of how people were always judging him before getting to know him but insert *eye roll* that’s exactly how Cha Si Won turned around and judged Hyeong Da Un after their first encounter .I really didn’t care for this at all. I wish I didn’t watch it. I strongly DO NOT recommend.

So touching, you'll be positively surprised
Do not underestimate this drama even if it is short. It did not even feel that short. I rate 10 for everything. I wouldn't even rewatch because I just so satisfied lol! But if you want it's still worth it.Ahem most importantly, I was so moved by this drama? I mean I always expect good BL dramas to be moving, but this one did an excellent job. I don't have much to add on previous reviews honestly, apart from how memorable this drama will be for me. It was not touching in the sense of the romance only, although it was mostly that. There was a really good balance in the story for all characters. But if you're here for the romance you won't be disappointed. The romantic scenes were hella cute, fr.

Depressing
Every Country that makes BL drama's seems to have a formula and the Korean formula is at full force with this drama.The two ML's are at logger heads at the beginning but they end up falling in love, there will then be a misunderstanding/betrayal causing them to split up. We then get the sad looks and waiting by the phone, they realize it was all a mistake and run to each, ending with some hand holding and longing looks ( Then we wait for season 2 to find out that the writers have decided to destroy it all)
The formula might have been the same but the story was not, I HATED THIS STORY!
There was no fun to this story, a sad boy become a sad adult who then finds some happiness only to become sad again.
We all want drama's to be more realistic but I don't want to watch a drama about sad and pathetic people living a crappy life, it is too close to home.
All the time I was watching this drama I was at angst, waiting for the next terrible situation to happen, I never smiled, I just sat there feeling uneasy and depressed.

mirrorball by taylor swift says it all
'blueming' pulls you in to the world of two individuals who have shiny exterior but once you break through, you will see their cracks and flaws. this drama talks about people who may look as though they have their life fully worked out when in reality, they are not different from everyone else.si won and da un are imperfectly perfect for each other. i love how the drama embraced si won's insecurities not to make the story super overdramatic but to genuinely have sense to how his character really is. the emotions of a person with pentup insecurities and disguising it with 'confidence' was decently portrayed by si won's actor.
da un was your textbook ideal, popular student but he wasn't bratty nor snobbish. he was a god tier 'good guy' who has his own set of charms and attracts anyone and everyone. in hindsight, he seems to have everything. well.... da un was a lonely boi. i can't imagine how bleak it is to come home, wanting to have some company but you end up getting welcomed by a dark room.
what's not to love when si won and da un are literally the cutest fluffballs i've ever seen? the chemistry was undeniable and i had to take breaks between episodes to recompose myself back to a human again. i swear these two made me feel so single to the point that i started to summon a character from genshin impact. chemistry on point.
i personally loved the tension between si won and da un as we began to truly understand both of their feelings. the ending wasn't bad but it did feel quite empty. sure, da un realised that he was wrong in his ways to make si won happy. we got a short inner look at da un's busy parents and how despite them being there, he was longing for si won. maybe i was hoping for more. i was hoping to see more of da un's character.
despite the camera being a bit shaky at times, the drama does well enough with its aesthetics. i was skeptical diving in this drama at first but this was a delightful watch.

Comfortable watch
Completed - 5/10/2022 - 8.25"Blueming", though I still don't understand what it means, is a short BL campus drama about two lost souls who found each other, accepted their true selves with the support of each other. It's a very light and comfortable watch. The relationship between the two male leads is healthy, and quite mature with honest conversations.
Our two male leads, Jo Hyuk Joon and Kang Eun Bin, are pretty new to the industry. I found the acting a little rough in the first couple episodes, especially for Kang Eun Bin, who played the main role of Cha Si Won. I think he found his groove in the latter episodes and is more comfortable in his character. Jo Hyuk Joon (who I think is the more handsome one ?) seems to be a little more comfortable and his acting is decent in the drama. The supporting cast is fine and luckily, there isn't anyone too annoying. I would say the acting on a whole is average and decent. I've definitely seen worse acting for new actors.
Because the drama is so short, only 11 episodes at about 10-15 minutes each, there are storylines that are not fully explored. But given the budget and time constraints, I am quite satisfied with the drama. If there's more time, I would like to know more about Da Un's story. As Si Won said, Da Un really didn't talk much about himself, and I would like to know more about his backstory and loneliness. I was hoping in the last episode when they had the heart-to-heart, Da Un would have opened up to Si Won a little bit more. "Blueming" focuses more on Si Won's growth - the reason for his perfect persona, his acceptance of who he really is, dealing with his insecurities, and being comfortable enough for Da Un to get to know the real Si Won.
The music and songs are not as memorable as the other Korean BLs. I do think some of the scenes are shot beautifully, given the drama is about film students.
There aren't many kiss scenes, but viewers are rewarded with a couple that are done romantically and passionately. It's nice to see real kisses when both leads did not shy away from the action.

It's cute, but shallow
I saw some scenes on TikTok and thought it looked nice and the leads were handosme so I said, why not?Gave the series a try and I like the scenes on TikTok, it was nice. The story is a cute romance, the leads are indeed handsome, and it does give us some interesting points that add layers and colour to the characters, like the family drama from Siwon, his concern over his appearance, etc. Dawon also gets some points of struggle to his back story but they aren't really developed and most of his struggles are inferred from his overall demeanor and way he acts around his parents, which the series fails to address to a point that you would believe that their absence was so major that caused such a rupture in the relationship. I mostly felt that they were busy but caring enough? It doesn't help that his character's personality apart from the drama is being handsome and rich. His awkward acting didn't really help in adding colour to the character so the biggest take of Dawon is his looks.
Siwon like I mentioned do received more layers and his acting is better, we have some interesting moments in the story that are good (like the couple's confrontation at the park, the confrontation with the mom) but the series is so short and the conflicts are introduced so late into the story (literally episode 9 is when the whole drama over the movie happens) that there's not really enough time for them to develop these plot lines.
We also have some plots that are added which are not relevant at all, like the minor plot involving the short haired girl who shows a love interest in Siwon and how she's not realizing the dude with glasses like her, or the whole plot involving these two and them busting the other student who was jealous of Siwon (and in the end he was actually right in saying Siwon would not have won without help). These plotlines among others felt expositional and pointless and likely worked much better if this was a long series where these events could have returned and played a significant part in the story. In the end their existence is moot to the story and aren't interesting on its own either.
Overall it's a nice and cute series, recommended for anyone who wants to watch fluff, but not recommended as a serious romantic story as it dips its feet into lots of themes but don't quite realise any of them.

Je suis passée à côté
Au vu de la note globale donnée à la série, je crois que je suis un peu passée à côté. Je n'ai pas réussi à m'attacher aux personnages et c'est je crois bien le problème.Il y a bien des côtés positifs à cette série.
Le sujet déjà : les complexes, les douleurs d'un jeune adulte traumatisé par l'attitude de la société et la différence de traitement entre les personnes considérées comme belles et celles considérées comme pas belles. Sa souffrance, son anxiété sont bien dépeintes et communiquées, et sont une vitrine, difficile par moments, pour ceux qui auraient eu à faire face à cette angoisse. On peut rajouter l'absence de représentation parentale positive et la solitude de l'enfant, puis de l'adulte, et la possible découverte d'une personne qui comprendra et comblera potentiellement le vide.
La cinématographie : c'est assez rare dans une série si courte mais il y a un essai réel de présenter un drama travaillé, de qualité. Le travail de photographie est à souligner. C'est plus particulièrement intéressant quand on sait que les personnages sont étudiants en cinéma.
Les acteurs : j'ai eu un peu de mal au départ mais leur jeu correspond bien à leur personnage et ils dépeignent bien la réserve, la méfiance et la douleur de leurs personnages. Leur complicité est difficile à appréhender par contre et j'ai du mal à savoir si le couple est peu chaleureux dans l'histoire elle-même ou si les acteurs ont du mal à représenter leur alchimie.
Un certain nombre de choses ne m'ont pas convaincue par contre.
Les personnages : comme j'ai déjà pu le dire, je n'ai pas réussi à m'y attacher. Les problématiques abordées me touchent pourtant mais il m'a finalement été difficile de ressentir de l'empathie pour les deux protagonistes, malgré leur histoire difficile. J'ai néanmoins beaucoup aimé le côté adulte de leur relation, vraiment appréciable.
Le montage : je ne sais pas bien si c'est le montage ou le scénario, mais le déroulement de l'histoire est par moment vraiment obscur et compliqué à suivre. J'avais décidé de revoir le drama car j'étais un peu frustrée des zones d'ombre du scénario et si certaines ont pu être levées, d'autres n'ont toujours pas de réponse. Peut-être tout s'éclaircira si je re-revois le drama ou si je lis le webtoon ?
En définitive, un drama intéressant, à voir, mais apparemment assez clivant pour avoir des réactions soit modérées, soit dithyrambiques.

Korean bl leading the way!!!!!
Omg omg omg!!!!!I mean wow....simply wow.....this was so good and so cute ....i mean it had everything...such a sweet simple story of two guys who are trying to face the person who they really are......many comments said that this is not gonna be a good one because they realesed the whole story at one...but but but.......it was just way better than any other korean bl of 2021...2022 is actually giving real good bls
So te story was all about the two trying to open up to each other....trusting each other....stop trying to be perfect and all so issues what normally people face while trying to identify themselves
I loved the fact how both of them reconciled at the end.....that was so sweet.....i also liked the small gl kinda story between the other girl and so-win's sister.....everything in this story looked so perfect and beautiful....it was just so real....omg i can't i mean if i had to wait for an episode every week i would have probably gone nuts because this is so damn good.......idk what to say....all i know is i'm gonna rewatch this again and again until i'm satisfied which i won't be ig :))
I WOULD JUST SUGGEST EACH AND EVERYONE OUT THERE TO WATCH THIS ONCE....LIKE TRUST ME ITS JUST WORTH YOUR TIME....THE EPISODES ARE JUST SO FINE...I'M IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER KOREAN BL AFTER SEMANTIC ERROR AND THAT IS THIS ONE................<3 _ <3

A Completely Lovely Time
I binged this entire show in one sitting and it felt like watching a beautiful movie. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the relationships between the characters grow and I particularly loved that not all relationships had a smooth, happy ending. I would love to see a sequel to this because I just didn't want to let go of the characters by the end. The only reason I didn't give it a 10/10 is because I would've loved more of the story told from Da Un's pov so we could get a better understanding of his motivations.Also have to say, the music and the cinematography were exquisite. The directing was so well done and I will be looking for everything this director does for the rest of her career.
