axelle judges bl shows > Cupid’s Last Wish
shitty summary: Win and Korn have been best friends for a while, but are driven apart due to a will Win’s father left that includes Korn. A year later, after Win gets in an accident with his sister Lin and they switch bodies, the only one there to help him is Korn.
where to watch: youtube
grade: 7,5/10
pros:
- I like the concept of this show, in my opinion it had a lot of potential & at times it managed to be pretty solid.
- the acting & chemistry were really good as expected!
- the landscapes presented in this show were gorgeous, and definitely the main aspect of the show that made it stand out.
cons:
- pretty boring... sadly while I said this had a lot of potential, this truly wasn’t utilized correctly, and the show ended pretty forgettable & boring with a few good moments. would be more enjoyable bingewatched imo.
- I feel like win’s growth kinda came out of nowhere, and imo with a show with so little substance, they should’ve focused more on his character development & inner feelings and thoughts to at least have that going for themselves.
would I rewatch it: I don’t think so
Overall this was just what I expected - basic & unforgettable. But what’s annoying is that I felt a lot more potential than anticipated coming from this show, which made it even more annoying when the execution was subpar. It’s not a bad show... but I wouldn’t recommend it either.
