  Our Dating Sim (South Korea, 2023)

Our Dating Sim (South Korea, 2023) and why is it so successful (well... what works best in my opinion)

 





A little more than a month ago Our Dating Sim (South Korea, 2023) finished airing. It is currently rated 8.0 on mydramalist, the highest rate comes from the age group 18-24 (8.8), followed by age group 25-34 (8.7). There is not a category it would drop under 8,5. Why is it so successful? For me the biggest charm of Our Dating Sim (South Korea, 2023) is incredible playfulness with the concept of storytelling. And the charm of the two main male leads as well helps it incredibly. Including leaving behind dead fish kisses many times opting rather for pecks on cheek and let's not forget about the merely iconic pat on ass, because I was nearly screaming yes when it happened, and I realized it. Finally!

The short format of 15 minutes per episode and 8 episodes in total incredibly helped not to drag things. It is not a given that it happens but here it really happened, and I am so glad for it. We immediately know who comes to confess first. We immediately know that now it is the turn of the other one. We immediately know that they still love each other. Their work is creative, inspiring, and breathtaking. As much as we need to, we see into how things are done in their work and for it.



And did I already mention, how charming the main leads are? Plus – characters who can work together. Like their chemistry can work together.

They have their flaws (fear, anxiety, dependence). And they have their strengths (great amount of patience, love, dedication, faithfulness, genuineness, purity).

They are absolutely adorable in being likable characters.

They are exquisite and I hope for more, as it happened in case of Kim Ji Woong & Yoon Seo Bin, when after Kissable Lips (South Korea, 2022) the same actors reunited for the project Roommates of Poongduck 304 (South Korea, 2022).

Always present game after game after game on a game in a game, making a game of not so much a game made it so much interesting! And the lovely love measure at the end of each episode – the framing of each episode – it was such a brilliant idea! The fresh flashbacks into the past. By the way, I really don't understand the tags on mydramalist, because it's more of a “friends into lovers” or “office romance” then anything high school or university themed… you are welcome and don't forget to enjoy!

Old Fashion Cupcake (Japan, 2022) : So I just realized … how doomed I am. Today I rewatched Old Fashion Cupcake (Japan, 2022) – and did a reaction video for it as well, wink-wink – for the 3rd time and as well for the first time I watched the sequel for it, not knowing that it existed until 3 days ago. I so much hope for season 2 for this series.  But since the sequel already exists, I just can't see it coming.

  A List of the  Long Time Crush BL (LGBTQIA+ AudioVisuals SERIES DRAMA | 2023 edit)   Long Time Crush : Is a person who you will be smitten for a long or very long time (compared to smitten). Mr. Heart (2020) Sang Ha constantly finds a cause to grin, even though he feels that nothing ever quite goes his way.

Promising project hopeful audiences - The Eighth Sense | 여덟번째감각 , 여덟번째 감각 (Korean series, BL, 2023)

-
Image
      It is difficult to see it, and we are writing 2023, that some still have problems to write, depict or create boys' love. And you can see it. You can recognize it from every short project of Korea (just to give an example) that makes the centre point of each story the problem of being a homosexual (& that the other girl/boy is not going to love you because he/she is obviously straight, without even asking the secret crush - hello there, #billyseng, forever, #secretcrushonyou). You can see it from every end. Each non-existent, obviously unwilling, or dead fish kisses are the proof that it is the case. ( They don't want to do it, it is overbearing for them, they are ashamed, they are unwilling, it is too much for them, no, please, don't force them anymore. It is pain to watch .)

How Youtube Treat Creators - part I.

-
Image
 Several things you never wanted to know about youtube (especially if you are a creator) – part I.: 1. They give you no answers but the general one from the YouTube studio. If there is an exception to the rule, let me know your experience. 2. They don't really care if they delete you or not. 3. The support team is a bunch of robots answering your questions. Aka copying answers from their online available guidelines. Or aren't they?

Full of doubts, full of trust - Hannibal (2013-2014)

 I am mentally preparing myself  for torture of watching a request. I would lie, if I said that I'm not scared. But I am not scared of the cannibalism part. I am a little bit worried about being unnecessarily  strict with the series.  I am a little bit worried about the backlash over watching such a story.  I feel like I really shouldn't let the teacher in me watch it in order to enjoy it properly. But then again I am entering it blind and I don't know what to expect, so I shouldn't be expecting anything, right?

BL genre

-
Image
Many times, I hesitate to call it genre and instead I opt for calling it a subgenre. We are speaking about boylove genre which is one of the most recent inventions of the audio-visual production. At least in mine point of view - absolutely biased one and inherently fatally fallen, and hence unforgivably subjective point of view that has long ago fallen for the category.
