Color Rush

I enjoyed watching this series and I think it was good, maybe it had small flaws, but the story and the actors were good.

I watched this after Cherry Blossoms, thinking I'd keep surfing on my newly found BL wave. Maybe I'll do that, but Color Rush wasn't good enough to entertain me. The major flaw, as I see it, is the lack of chemistry. Everything seems forced between those two. I have nothing against love at first sight, or attraction that comes from mutual need/acknowledgement between special beings. The latter, I know well from Octavia's Buttler's novels, and it can be mind-blowing. Not in this movie. The performances weren't good enough. The actors were stiff, as if unwilling to touch or kiss.

Also, the whole Color Rush phenomenon was weirdly executed.

It could have been great though. I liked the concept of a predator fighting his instincts before a willing prey. Reminded me of extraordinary, soonworthy, way better, Beastars.

Last but not least, maybe the biggest flaw. The "huge" secret that allowed the two of them to stay together... is revealed from the very beginning. Yoo Han doesn't say it explicitly, but you can tell right away why he is attracted to Yeon Woo.

So okay, but not great.

It had an interesting idea, I'll give that and nothing else.

Zero chemistry between the leads, one of them was just reading a script not acting, and it was a very poor script, sudden transitions that makes you wonder if you had accidentally skipped a minute or so, unexplained plot holes, and s1 ending was wrapped up in haste.

At some point I felt bad for Yoo Jun because he was actually trying to put some effort there but nothing in the drama was helping.

I had been excited for this drama but it's really bad, even Sanghyuk, whom I really like, being in s2 isn't enough for me to watch any more of it.

Not a bad show at all but lacked clarity a bit in the plot. The developments were good. Acting - great!

They didn't clarify mom's part of story or about the protagonist's father.

I didn't like the graphics during the color rush a lot... The chemistry felt amazing except for the kiss.

I loved the way they introduced a new concept though, so I think the show is worth the watch!! Not like any other BL.

I was so sad when they changed the second male leader, literally disappointed. Like the novel, the drama is very good too, but I feel that the second season was also produced with the same disappointment I felt about the second male leader leaving, that is, the chemistry between the new actor and the first male leader was kind of forced (not that the new actor is bad at what he does, on the contrary). It's just that we viewers already had a couple in mind, and it was very strange not to see them together again.

Nevertheless, it was an obsession of mine, so I recommend reading the novel, there you can imagine that the protagonist's pair is the same.
