"Light on Me" is kind of a weird one. We have a high school BL romance with a focus on friendship and some Coming-of-Age thrown in. I liked it because of its innocent sweetness, but it has some very cringe moments as well.
The characters seem strange at first, like overdone just a bit too much, even awkward at times. After a while, they develop more depth than they usually do in Korean BLs, surely due to the longer format of 16 episodes. They have their strength and their flaws and some development, and the typical Coming-of-Age element of finding out who you are and what kind of person you want to be is integrated really well. Partially, the acting and the writing could have been a little bit better though. Especially Tae-kyung comes across as wooden and even helpless at times, although he is a refreshingly honest and courageous person.
Although I don't like love triangles, I didn't mind that one. It's a love story between three friends in a group of four and maintaining the friendship and respecting each other seems to be important for all of them. Therefore, we aren't tortured with overbearing jealousy and annoying competitions, they all act empathetic and loyal to each other. Friendship goals for sure!
I don't know why the only female character has to be so boring and selfish. I didn't care for her at all, and her development feels rushed and therefore not believable.
If you are looking for a light, undramatic slow burn with mainly non-toxic characters, "Light on Me" is just the right show to watch.
