Light on Me

As a fan who only choose bl who's great and have a nice plot, I can say Light on Me is one of the best. Yes, it has connection to school like other typical bl but this series just hit different. The actors are great at acting and the way it was filmed is great (kdrama is really good at making series). I guess I also love this series because it's korean. My only wish was that it must be longer than 20 mins and I'm waiting for the second season. I'm rewatching it right now and the butterflies I felt from this series is still there. I really hope the second season will be announced this year or next year.

I came here determined to rate 10 stars no matter how low the other ratings would be. I couldn't believe my eyes. To be honest, I have no idea why I loved this show. There was hardly a plot. Everybody seemed a bit slow, the boys were girlier than girls, batting their lashes and moving their hands awkwardly, everything was so impossibly innocent and pink and sugar-coated, it was only short of rainbows and unicorns. Some scenes were plain embarrassing. Yuck!

Still... I was hooked, OMG!!!! I couldn't sleep or work! What got into me!!! It was like a spell. My heart sunk several times, I almost choked trying not to wake up everybody by laughing in the middle of the night. Right now there is a huge smile on my face.

So. I didn't like it, but I was mesmerized by it. And that's all that matters. Best BL so far. Good job 👍😍

Can't describe but I like this so much.

No need to thinking anything when watching this. Just enjoy and you won't stop smiling.

Asdfghjkkjk I'M STILL NOT OVER THEM THO.

I really love this movie. It's cute and lovley...😍

"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.
