The same series but now in Joseon

Well, let's say, the same series that I already saw 6 times before (WYEL, TMS, MH, YMMD, WY: YMIMH, CR) but in Joseon, same format boy meet boy (fate has united them), they like each other but do not accept it, they live together, they help each other to follow their dreams, they realize their feelings, they separate in the penultimate chapter, they magically meet again in the last chapter, they kiss, the end.

All these series are the same, the same format, the same actors, tand I am not saying that they are bad there are some that genuinely appeared to me very tender when I saw them as WYEL and MH, others that seemed very good to me like YMMD and especially TMS, but the real problem I have is that they do not dare to change the format.

I understand that for the duration of the series (around 90 min) it is very difficult to make deeper stories, but nevertheless I think that at this moment I am already a bit saturated with this type of series, at first the initiative seemed very good, more because it opened the panorama to the BL scene in Korea, and that is why I believed then that they opted for this type of format rather simple and fast, to tempt the waters, so to speak, but 6 series later I think that as public and as creators we are ready for the next step.

In that sense, Nobleman Ryu's Weadding seems to me to be one of the worst series of this almost franchise, of course it is not a terrible series by any means, but it is boring, it does not contribute anything new, I think the idea of ​​having a boy-to-boy couple in Joseon is something very interesting and I feel that they needed to make an effort to make the series so bland and not very relevant.

And also the actors have very bad chemistry between them, I don't think they are bad actors, because in other productions especially in the case of Lee Se Jin in Mr. Heart I feel that he was more in his tone with a better chemistry with his co-star partner and everything felt more organic, in this series that did not happen, on the contrary it seems that the actors did not want to be there, I do not know if what they wanted to achieve was to portray the solemnity of the "nobility of the time" but still not it is justification, in the looks, the gestures, in the small actions we should feel its "supposed attraction".

Anyway, I don't have much to say about the series, just as the series did not have much to say to the public, the truth is that I am already a little tired of this type of series, I am convinced of the quality that Korean productions can deliver to us, because you don't have to look far to realize it, I look forward to the moment when they stop considering BL as a minor genre and treat it as a simple romance and in this way deliver us series that dare to transgress barriers, with deep characters and moving stories, they have talent, the market is also here waiting anxiously, I know that we are one step closer to it, and if not and we will continue with these series in miniseries format, I hope they will introduce us to products of Better quality, I am not talking about kisses or being more cheeky in their relationship (which could not hurt us), if not better scripts, better dialogues and better use of cinematographic language to make us feel the connection between their couples (glances, inadvertent gestures, flushed cheeks, use of color, etc.)

Korea baby, I know what you are capable of and I am waiting for you.
