“Black & White is Real” Series Review (Ep.1 to 77)
Featuring “Fight for You” stars, Andy Ko & Nelson Ji, “Black & White is Real” diverts into two different stories. Fans who enjoyed watching the first project might be naturally drawn to this show because of the natural chemistry between the main leads. Unfortunately, the executive falls short and the storytelling remains abysmal. At times, it seems like the storytelling heavily leans on the chemistry between the main leads; the vertical format works against the pacing as well. The suspense pertaining to the two different stories adds a nice charm to the narrative and is a surprising addition. Despite that, the show was disappointing to watch, and I was nearly exhausted from watching the 2 mins video everyday.

“Fight for You” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
Once I completed this series, I asked myself what was the premise of this series? And I honestly could not figure one out. It is your standard formulaic BL, full of tropes, cliches, customary setups, and unremarkable contrived crisis. But through at least some portions of this series, I found myself being avidly entertained chiefly because of the charming effect of the two main leads. The remainder, however, not so much because it was your standard flat setup.
