A Breeze of Love (2023)

But like, why couldn't he sleep?

I really enjoyed the acting and the chemistry between the two actors. The overall conflict was really intriguing I just kept waiting and waiting for them to explain why this dude couldn't sleep any they never did. Like I get that some people just have insomnia, but I jus really wish there had been a reason. I love Korean BLs, like they are literally my favorite, so I get that the episodes are short and there are only six to eight episodes, ten if they're being generous, but this was one that I feel really needed more episodes to really flush out the story.

I personally wouldn't re-watch, but it is one I would recommend just because the chemistry between the two leads was giving.

I thoroughly enjoyed the series overall, finding it heartwarming and captivating. However, I must admit that the final episode fell short for me. Its abrupt turn didn't sit well, and I found it disappointing. Personally, I'm not a fan of time skips, and this particular one didn't enhance my viewing experience but I will pretend the last one does not exist

Breeze of love Nahhh more like harsh rainstorm.

Ok what was even this bl. When they first announced it's release I was really excited. It seemed like a fun plot but what I saw was a disaster. I feel the only saving grace of the show was the basketball, lee dohyun's eyebrows and the best friend.
The insomnia wasn't even explored much. They had major communication problems. Ban dongwook was weird. To me it almost seemed like if boy found another human sleeping pill he would have no hesitation in leaving lee dohyun. Also who the fuck goes around saying that they just want to sleep with someone.
And pleaseeeeee this whole "I am leaving you, but I won't tell you why but I do wish you understand me when I come to you declaring my love after years" Is overused now. Writers do better.
Props to lee dohyun I mean he must have loved pan dongwook a little too much because if it was me I would kick him in the nuts and tell him to keep finding the reason by himself.
All in all the show that could have been good turned out to be something that I don't even wanna remember. Hell I skipped through the last episode and somehow just finished it for the sake of completely a show.

Rewriting Standards, Simple, Short but Heartfelt

This BL KDrama surprised me in many ways. It's a 15-min long per episode that feels so complete. I couldnt imagine an episode can do so either but yes, it delivers! I love how straightforward it was. Have conflicts just any other drama plot out there and a few cute, lovely scenes that will surely hit you right to the core, felt pain and joy watching this drama. It even have flashbacks! Yes, they squeezed it in and found the right placement each episode. The lead actors are commendable for their portrayals. I need a lot of their couple chemistry badly right now. I love them so much! I never thought I will still find a BL drama I will recommend so much just like ITSAY, 1000 stars, Color Rush or Semantic Error.. but this show proved me wrong a thousand folds. A true statement of simplicity is beauty.

BREATH OF FRESH AIR

I came across "A Breeze of Love" on Tiktok, and considering I've already watched 43 Korean BLs just this year, my options will either be to venture again with Thai BLs or just wait for any Korean BL releases this year or next year.

To be honest, the pacing of the drama is "okay-ish" since the main focus is the main leads and their story. But considering how limited the run time is, especially for Korean BLs, they didn't manage to squeeze in any back story aside from the short flashbacks here and there.

1. The cinematography is great; there are some hiccups on some parts (and that's me nitpicking).
2. The plot is open for improvement.
3. The OST songs threw me off on some scenes; there are parts of the scene that really didn't require any emotional music, but I could accept their creative choices.
4. The run time could've easily been extended to ten episodes. This will focus more on understanding what happened after they became a couple.

This drama did not offer anything new (especially on the kinds of KBLs released this year), but you wouldn't hold it against them because, at the end of the day, a good drama will stand without any gimmicks.

Recovering from Bump Up Business, A Breeze of Love did end up meeting my expectations—a simple breath of fresh air.

Not too overcomplicated, just a good Korean BL.

You want to watch a cute romance with not too much angst, trauma, and whatever else happens to a gay couple?
Simply two people learning to accept their love. It's just the right amount of fluff with a good story overlapping between the past and the present. Both actors did an excellent job portraying the emotions and feelings of each of the characters, and their expressions were priceless. I highly recommend watching this on a rainy day when you're feeling down; it'll put a smile back on your face.

Honest Opinion:
The plot is not unpredictable. The same old lack of communication that leads to a massive misunderstanding and carries it all the way to the end. But...the execution was flawless. There is no unnecessary drama, no jealous love rivals, and the pacing is quite good. It's a refreshing and feel-good drama.

I really hope this gets a sequel!

This was a great story that was sweet and easy to watch, very little and very mild angst. I’m glad it was just a sweet love story, exactly what is needed right now. I really hope we get a sequel with the second couple who were introduced as the focus!!! I loved the relationship we got to see between Dohyun and Dongwook, it was cute and lovely. I felt bad for Dohyun’s friend who had feelings for him, he wasn’t a villain like you would see in most BLs when there are multiple possible love interests. I was happy to see that he had a possible relationship waiting in the wings with the stranger we didn’t get to see at the end.

It gives you more than a breeze of love

It took me 3 attempts to watch this but I couldn't watch pass the first few 5 mins or 10, bcoz I find it slow and boring lol.. but, i'm glad that I never give up.

Once you watch pass the 1st 10 mins or so, it takes off really well. I love every moment of the show after that.

Short series = no drag

It's very heartwarming, sweet and medicine for your soul kind of BL

I just wish the kiss scene is more realistic lol I'm not asking for hardcore, but two lips pressing against each other is so akward to watch, esp if they slo-mo it? like what are you even slo-mo-ing?

This applies to most KBL honestly, although I wouldn't deduct any point just because of this

I can still feel the sweetness and all, so all is good, but it's just really nice to watch some realistic kiss, even if it's for a few seconds lol...

Overall, this is the kind of BL you watch when you're in need of your "feel good BL'" dose!
