I just recently dared to enter the BL drama world, haven't watched many titles so far, but this one just flies high above those.
What I love the most in any romantic drama is when it feels NATURAL, a few over the top camera movements or whiny music are sadly almost unavoidable in these, but the less the better. Natural looking acting, writing and chemistry work the best for me. And this series just did that!
Setting: It's the typical high school setting, focusing on sports in the boys' lives, and to be honest that does feel pretty okay, nothing over the top fantasy world, or huge twists. This kind of environment feels very known for the audience and also this is where we can focus so much on the characters instead of world building and such.
Story: The story that goes on with the volleyball team is a nice one, I like sport themed stuff myself, it could have been maybe a little bit more detailed, but it sort of works.
The side characters are, well, okay. The other couple beside the main one felt weakly written and weakly executed, kind of out of place. Could have been better I think, but that would have probably needed more episodes.
The Guys: These two main guys were so damn good! Very cute too, and I loved their personalities, how they changed too, it was very well done. And nothing really felt awkward, they always felt to be 100% in role, it really showed!
Quality: The series' quality you might say doesn't really matter that much, but before that I watched a much lower quality one, and I have to say, it does. It does feel a lot better not to think about oh, hey the microphones are pretty bad, or geez the camera can't really take good shots in such a small place. Instead I thought, wow this is such a good shot, it's totally clear who is in focus, and the lights look gorgeous. So yeah, big thumbs up quality-wise too!
PS.: Also just a quick mention, for me as I started recently, too much BL action is a little too much. :D I like more discreet approaches, less sexual ones. (so yeah what am I doing watching BL, huh? :D) Anyway, if you by any chance have a similar preference, I can totally recommend this from that side too, it's very charming, quite innocent, just genuine and lovely. <3
