Color Rush (2020)

É um mini drama de oito episódios de quinze minutos, o devorei em um dia. O que me chamou atenção foi o enredo diferentão, então não imaginei que me emocionaria tanto.

Claro que fiquei curiosa com vários detalhes, queria saber mais sobre Mono e Probe, até a solução do grande mistério, mas por ser tão curto obviamente foi corrido, apesar que isso não foi sentido em nenhum momento por mim.

Amei ver o mundo pelos olhos de Choi Yeon Woo e o desenvolvimento com Go Yoo Han e não posso esquecer dos amigos que também são uma graça. O final foi fofo e amei como a parte séria foi desenvolvida. Com certeza se tivesse outra temporada seria muito bom.

A work of art!

I'm honestly stunned more people aren't watching this - I'm only up to episode 6 and have yet to see whether Korea are sticking to their new foray into the BL genre, but whether or not they do, this drama is already a must see! (I'll probably update this when it's all over).
The story and premise is fantastic, with a plot that moves sedately despite the 15 mins per episode. It has a slow build, but every moment feels well thought out and becomes something close to a work of art. Particular highlights come in the form of the 'rush' that occurs every time Yoo Han unmasks and the visit to the art exhibition in episode 5. It's beautifully written, acted and shot, to create a drama that has the makings of being one of the best BL dramas I have ever seen and with none of the usual tropes. This is fresh and beautiful so far, so get watching people!

The one that brings you color to your gray life

They say that you know true love when you see it. This story takes it to another level. You have a color-blind person in a world that can only another person can bring you color. But what if you are afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone?

The acting of the main characters makes you want more from them. Their movements and facial expressions are very delicate with a hint of exploration. At least, one knows that it has an upper hand on this new and unexplored relationship.

This story is very different with great visual FX. Unfortunately, the episodes are very short, but very tasteful.

Not your regular BL

The story revolves around the characters and there development. Although it's from Choi Yeon Woo's point of view, in the end the twist really takes the cake. It's about looking beyond your shortcomings and not giving in to the stereotype created around you. The love depicted in the drama doesn't come from someone's orientation but from the need. It's a one of a kind story that touches your heart.

The acting is not the best but not the worst.

The most beautiful lines were given to Goo Yoo Han's character but the actor fell short and flat expressing them. I wished he was a bit more animated and resonated feelings in his voice and face. The actor playing Choi Yeon Woo had his hit and misses too. Overall they could make me understood the story so I am not too mad about it.

I would recommend people watching it just for the story and development.

My honest review about Color Rush.

This is my honest review about Color Rush. For me Color Rush is one of the best Korean BL I’ve seen. Everything is totally nice and unique. The story line is so unique. Like it's my first time to encounter this kind of series like being a color-blind and a face blind. I'm totally amazed by it. If we talked about the chemistry about the two actors all I can say its epic. You may feel some awkwardness between them, it's because they only meet in a short time and after that they start filming, but you can't actually say they are awkward because they are both comfortable to each other.  What I didn’t like about the series is the series is short. Like for me, I'm not satisfied of some scene in the series. I already read the book of Color Rush and its pretty well amazing. If they could only make the series kinda longer it will be so nice. For me this BL is unique and epic. On the best so far I’ve seen in my life.

PS: This based on my opinion only.

i only watched this drama end this morning. but it has become one of my favorites .. this chemistry is just beautiful and you can tell that it sparked immediately. this story is just made so cool .. but I sometimes found this processing where he saw the colors for the first time was not so good I don't know that looked strange, in spite of everything it's such a beautiful bl and I think it's so beautiful that they were sweet from the start. One of them was a bit reluctant and tried not to like him, but nevertheless these moments were sweet .. you could tell that the 2 loved each other. they played it all very well !! it is definitely recommended

Color rush is wonderful its become one of my favourite drama’s!

I love this drama so so much! Its so sweet and the story is so so good! Its the best story idea I have ever seen in a BL or any drama, its really interesting and clever!
The fact the meaning of them being soul mates is soo good! They found out at the end they both needed each other and they never knew it till the end and the end is so nice and cute! Don’t listen to bad reviews those ppl music be blind to how sweet this drama is! I loved the acting! And Hyunjoon (ex Hwall from the boyz) did such a good job with this being his first ever drama! I am so proud of him! I would do many things to be able to get a season 2 of this drama! I really love it! I could watch it over and over!

I LOVED IT

I loved how interesting and unique the plot was. I don't think there is any bl's like this one at all. It's why it is so cool to see Korea breaking out into the scene, because they're bringing in their really interesting and unique writing. I just wish they were longer. I honestly checked it out, because of the ex the boyz member, because I am an extremely casual fan of theirs. But I fell and feel HARD for Yoojun. I think he was truly the highlight of the series, an extremely good actor and honestly I like people who look like him visually (shallow I know). I think Yoohan was at sometimes a little pushy and overbearing of Yeonwoo, but the series helps to explain WHY near the end. The colors were visually STUNNING (I love bright colors I'm honestly a neon hoe in series). The soundtrack I actually noticed and liked while watching. Overall, I'm hyped for season two and hope we can find out more about the mystery surrounding Yeonwoo's mom.

Tw // kind of graphic suicide attempt near the end of the series.

I love this one an unhealthy amount but-

I can admit that the concept is what absolutely blows my mind the most with this extremely short drama!
There are no words to describe how much I love it. It is, in fact, so interesting and has so much potential for further development, that I'm willing to overlook a lot of the rather unfortunate issues this drama has.

It is a very short, very small (in more ways than one) drama that completely took me over.

The production was clearly tiny, there are about two sets and some outside locations, the cast is really only centered around two people and each episode if only 15min long.
However, those 15min carry a punch! The concept between Mono's and Probe's is fascinating, especially since Choi Yeon Woo's fear of falling hopelessly obsessed with the one person who can make him see colors in his so-far gray-toned world is juxtaposed with Go Yoo Han's complete willingness and desire to be obsessed over, since he in turn is already infatuated with Choi Yeon Woo - the only person who's face he can recognize.
It's such a great concept and even though Go Yoo Han's actor Hurhyun Jun is still a newbie who was somewhat flat in some scenes, Yoo Jun's acting hit it out of the park in every. single. frame.
He was absolutely fantastic as the extremely conflicted Choi Yeon Woo, who is terrified of becoming obsessed with his Probe and his assumption that such obsession can only lead to tragedy.

There are some issues with the story that can't be overlooked - Choi Yeon Woo's mother has been missing for years and this is a plot that is supposedly the framing device of the lovestory forming. However it gets relegated to the sidelines and later forgotten all together. Choi Yeon Woo's suicide attempt gets exactly ZERO reaction from anyone, not his aunt, not his supposed love interest. I liked the plottwist that instead of hurting Go Yoo Han, Choi Yeon Woo instead decided to hurt himself so he can never hurt his Probe, but that whole aspect of the story got no further development at all and it literally felt like his suicide attempt had never even happened. He is also left completely alone with his fear of obsession and nobody, not even his aunt, tries to explain to him that a tragic outcome for a Mono/Probe pair is not a guaranteed ending.

It felt like many aspects were underdeveloped, unexplored or just thrown in at the very end to fill some holes. All in all the biggest problem this drama had was it's limited timeframe.

Art.

The synopsis alone had me hooked and this didn't disappoint. I think it would have done really well as a longer series with more time to really explore his mother's disappearance as well as Yoo Han's life. Personally, I find that the first two episodes are absolutely flawless. The show as a whole isn't perfect but it's still really good and probably the best it could be for such a short series. They got me twice with twists and I loved it.
Yoo Han turns up and I'm like "woah this guy is cool" but then he turns out to be such a gentle soul and a sweetheart, I'm swooning.
The soundtrack, especially the music during Yeon Woo's color rush is so good and such a perfect fit for the aesthetic they went with, which is also really gorgeous.

For the first time in my life I felt like a show was immensely underrated

This series is quite wholesome with slice of life feels to it. Its a piece of art. We r watching this series through Yeon Woo's point of view , so we only get to know what he knows .Its like someone went through his journal and brought to life the most indispensable moments of his life. I have watched thousands of dramas from many different countries but very few have touched the way it has . There is something poetic about the way it has been. You can see the effort everyone put in it. Hats off to the director who shot this so beautifully and gave us something so precious which will be always close to my heart.

This series is a roller coaster ride of emotions one moment you r laughing n the other moment u r crying. This made me realize how wonderful it is being able to see let alone seeing colors, such a simple thing that we take for granted but there are people out there who don't have this privilege, how sad n depressive life would be if there were no colors in life, how you never importance of somethings until you have lost them, how heart wrenching it is to get something and losing it again, when you have never experienced something u never know what you have lost

Anyways, since we r watching it from Yeon Woo's perspective the way mono probe relationship is shown initially is how he perceive it to be and by the end of it we viewers along with him realize that not every mono probe is same just as not every human being is same. About color rush happening every time, when mono looks at probes face it doesn't sit well with me, why does it has to be face why not eyes, with the whole story based on the premise of being able to see colors, it would have been more poetic if the color rush were to happen every time they look into each other eyes, the light reflected from the retina of probes retina changes to a certain wavelength which when falls on monos retina activates red n green cones giving him the ability to see colors

Regarding acting, both ml were brilliant , im not familiar with any of their works before so it was my first time watching them maybe thats why i was able to see them only as Yeon Woo n Yoo Han or that actors fully immersed themselves in the characters. The way Yoo Jun has played is exceptional I liked his body language he was very confident in it he showed inner struggles of Yeon Woo real well. But with whom I was most impressed was Hyun Jun, he owned Yoo Han. The display of his emotions of want, need were so strong that I was able to them from the other side of the screen which btw rarely happens with me. For me Hyun Jun was the star of this show, you could feel his desperation, his desire to hold on. I was surprised when I saw only this project listed in acting career on mdl, I hope to see more work from him cause his talent too precious to be not shared with the world it would be our loss.

Kudos to the director, for the way he shot this show you could actually see the world through Yeon Woo’s eyes. I think the director deserves all the credits for making such a beautiful show. Though it was a risqué to shot the way he did because the audience were privy to a whole lot of information which left us questioning like what really happened to YWs mom n whats going on with Min Jae’s old man n how much progress Yi Rang made on her quest to look for her sister. But their choice makes sense with format n budget. Usually we don’t see a whole series told from a single person’s pov so it was quite refreshing too watch.

Visuals were good the way world transitions between colored n mono was done beautifully especially YW’s eyes during color rush look magnificent. Regarding color rush, I didn’t like the color scheme during the sequence, it looked, for lack of better word, cheap.

BGM was good, played at just the right places. The only issue I had was that at few places.,I couldn’t hear the actors.

Overall, it's a feel-good show to watch while being wrapped up in blanket n eating ice cream especially when you are emotionally vulnerable.
