#I just need more lgbt rep in like... everything hahahahaaaaaaaaa

So I just binged Color Rush (the drama with Heo Hyun Jun, previously Hwall from The Boyz, in) and it was????? idk there’s mixed feelings. The acting was actually really good, I was impressed with both the main actors, they did a really good job and considering how short the episodes were and how short the series is, they showed a fair amount of range too! The overall storyline was interesting too, the whole idea of like people being unable to see colour until they meet one special person is the sort of idk fantasy realism I can get behind??? And yes, without writing a whole essay on it, it fills me with great joy to see a korean show focusing on an LGBT relationship because it’s not something we see often and idk the relationship was handled well and portrayed well and any issues in the relationship weren’t sexuality-based (idk really how to word it but if you consume east asian media of any kind really there is a lot of problematic stuff surrounding the protrayal of lgbt relationships and it’s just nice to not see that for a change??) but like ejrgbhjerge ok the story was a little all over the place, they didn’t have much time to work with it but it jumped around a lot, it felt like huge gaps were missing and I just kinda wish the episodes had even been like 10 minutes longer to fit a bit more in, there were a lot of questions left unanswered??? It was a cute, quick watch though~

#[ ramblings ] #it was cute! and the acting was good! it also gets really intense at the end though like #tw for suicide attempt cause that was so like ????? #I just need more lgbt rep in like... everything hahahahaaaaaaaaa #and dammit I want cute wlw dramas from all over the world #but the amount of creepy crap you gotta brave on the off chance of finding a gem #I didn't know if I should post my thoughts for this here either 'cause I usually post anything about shows I'm watching elsewhere #but I know I have mutuals and followers who're fans of the boyz so maybe you guys watched it??? #I thought he did really well honestly it was nice to see him and for such a short drama he grasped the character well
