Color Rush

I watched this after Cherry Blossoms, thinking I'd keep surfing on my newly found BL wave. Maybe I'll do that, but Color Rush wasn't good enough to entertain me. The major flaw, as I see it, is the lack of chemistry. Everything seems forced between those two. I have nothing against love at first sight, or attraction that comes from mutual need/acknowledgement between special beings. The latter, I know well from Octavia's Buttler's novels, and it can be mind-blowing. Not in this movie. The performances weren't good enough. The actors were stiff, as if unwilling to touch or kiss.

Also, the whole Color Rush phenomenon was weirdly executed.

It could have been great though. I liked the concept of a predator fighting his instincts before a willing prey. Reminded me of extraordinary, soonworthy, way better, Beastars.

Last but not least, maybe the biggest flaw. The "huge" secret that allowed the two of them to stay together... is revealed from the very beginning. Yoo Han doesn't say it explicitly, but you can tell right away why he is attracted to Yeon Woo.

So okay, but not great.
