BL Drama Ratings/Thoughts Pt.1
Kiss Me Again: 7/10
If I am being honest, I only started this series because of Pete/Kao. I was following Tawan and Newwie on instagram and saw their teasers for DBK - so I naturally became curious and went digging, and found this.
This drama will satisfy all types of drama lovers I feel like. We have the love triangles, the contract relationship, the boy lovers, the reminiscent old love plots and so much more. Because of it’s variety, I felt like it is more appealing to a bigger crowd, and also the fact that their cast is huge. I only paid attention to 3 of story lines (Pete/Kao, Sanwan/R, and Sanson/Matt) and forwarded through everything else. There were a few moments where I was like “this is ridiculous” but all in all, it’s a good drama. (NOTE: If you want Pete/Kao clips only, there are videos with all of their scenes for you! Bless the person who did this <3 )
HIStory 1
HIStory 1 consisted of three episodes, each episode has it’s own different story plot (therefore 3 different story lines).
Episode 1: My Hero 7/10 It was an interesting story line, originality was key as I haven’t seen any other dramas like it yet. With it being one episode and roughly an hour long, they really had to pack a lot of things in. They did a great job though as the story moved quite easily and smoothly. The Boy Love aspect of this...is there in a way but also not in a way. I mean, yes there are two male leads as the love interest, but a girl ghost is possessing him....so, yeah.
Episode 2: Stay Away From Me 8/10 With me being new to the BL world, I was very *alarmed* when I saw the step-brother trope. I was very curious, but also like, “what?” haha. Both male characters are very attractive and showed great chemistry with one another. Gives enough of everything; the feels, the tears, the laughter. Shout out to Meng Meng for making things happen <3 My favorite episode of the HIStory 1 series.
Episode 3: Obsessed 6/10 This episode....was by the far hardest one for me to like. I don’t know if it’s because I’m at a point in life where the adultness is kicking (yay me!) but I felt like this type of love....was on the brink of being abusive. I mean, the episode title is Obsessed...so it explains a lot, but there were MANY parts of this drama where I was like “Noooooooo. Mmmmm mmmmm. I don’t like it.” This episode did have the more passionate scenes in it though, so huge shout out to the actors for doing a great job on them. The one thing I did like was the plot of being reborn 9 years in the past, and trying not to fall in love with the man that broke your heart.
