Where Your Eyes Linger

" Where your Eyes Linger " was a pretty good romance.

The pacing, for most of it, was nice, smooth and the inner dialogues just created the perfect angst atmosphere for a dramatic love story that had a huge climax in the end. They actually wrapped things up masterfully and gave the drama a satisfying conclusion that ended all loose ends.

However, towards the middle of the drama, the story was way too fast for the progress of the love story. It felt a bit chopped and rushed.

But, other than that, the performances were great and the story strong.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

I was surprised to see a kdrama on two young men falling in love so I watched this show right away. I am touched by the emotions and raw intensity of our 2 leads. Their performance are fantastic and believable, considering the delicate topic.

Normally, I am a strong believer in spending maximum screen-time to focus on the main characters storyline with minimal distractions by subplots that don't always add to the show or complement the main story line. In this case, however, probably 90% of the time is spent on the couple and they are always together. Granted, the length of each episode being extremely short may explain this, nonetheless I still find this to be a little too condensed or concentrated for my taste. I would like to know more about each of our leads, how each of them lives, thinks and behaves with other people. I want to see their longing for each other when they aren't together. Especially I want too see and feel their frustration, hesitation and internal conflict as each person contemplates his true feeling for the other. Because of such short duration, a more organic exploration of the transition from bromance to love wasn't possible and it's a shame, in my opinion.

One aspect I thoroughly disliked is their master-servant relationship. Is it really plausible that such an arrangement exists in a school between two students, in today's world? On the positive side, I guess one can argue that the 'master' truly loves his 'servant' friend deeply because, firstly, he was the one to initiate the confession and, secondly, when his father found out about them, he 'sacrificed' himself by submitting to his father's will against his own wish.

Despite these critiques, I am thoroughly impressed by the actors and how they delivered this short but intense and genuine love story. I can't wait to see more kdramas that explore romances like this.

This was my introduction to the BL genre and not till 'I told sunset about you' did I again see two male leads be so vulnerable about the inconvenience of falling in love with your best friend. From the music, to the wit, it is such a sweet story, and in the tradition of Korean BLs, too short.

I was so damn excited to watch this ever since I heard about this, especially since it is sort of the first focused BL K-drama! Watched all the 8 episodes. And I can guarantee that this is one of the best kdrama series ever.The story is set up nicely and the characters, their relationship, possible obstacles and scenes are arranged in the most beautiful way.Since the series is quite short, thrusting us right into the middle of their relationship is smart. The production is on point and the cinematography is sharp and clean. The acting is also top-notch.i got in to Han Chi recently and I know how good he is. And Jang Eui is one my favourite characters in other kdrama he acted.i always wanted to see him as the lead.The chemistry/tension between the two leads is palpable and the ending is so damn beautiful and emotional.

I really hope that this series get the recognition it deserves. If it does, then hopefully we'll get to see more BLk-dramas in future. I really want people to give this a try. The actors and the whole crew deserves the best for stepping up an new milestone in the Korean entertainment industry.

I just don't know how I feel about this. Where your eyes linger didn't do justice although both the actors performed well. Since it was romance, there hardly was any scene between them which confirms that they both loved each other. I don't know if it's just me or anyone else was annoyed when Gook protected the girl instead of Taejoo. Also the main drawback in this series was when Gook said to Taejoo that he felt good when Taejoo went to Japan for a week but minutes later he was sad that Taejoo is going to England. At least stick to what you say. It is just a one time watch, also, I was kind of irritated how Gook didn't even say that he loves Taejoo. The kiss which was supposed to bring emotion to the viewers was just like the plot - unintentional.
