A Promising Yet Flawed Series
Dangerous Romance is a straightforward yet intriguing series that revolves around Sailom, a poor and studious student, who works multiple odd jobs to support his elder brother. One day, Sailom crosses paths with school bully Kanghan, and their interactions become central to the plot. While the drama has its moments, it lacks a specific “hook” or unique element that would set it apart and truly captivate the audience.
Strengths:
- Initial Intensity: The first two episodes deliver intense drama, especially in the bullying scenes. The tension keeps viewers engaged.
- Lead Actors’ Talent: Despite occasional awkward moments, Perth and Chimon shine as actors. Their chemistry, though inconsistent at times, still manages to resonate.
Areas for Improvement:
- Believability of Romance: Unfortunately, the romance between the main characters falls short. The feelings they’re supposed to convey don’t always come across convincingly.
- Missed Potential: The enemies-to-lovers dynamic is promising, but it doesn’t fully materialize. The danger element feels sprinkled in without clear direction.
- Underdeveloped Side Characters: Secondary characters remain caricatures, lacking fleshed-out storylines or distinct personalities. Their actions often confuse viewers due to insufficient screen time.
Final Thoughts: Dangerous Romance is worth recommending to genre enthusiasts, especially fans of Perth and Chimon. While it doesn’t reach its full potential, the series offers a pleasant viewing experience. With further character development and a more defined romantic narrative, it could become a noteworthy addition to the BL genre.
