Color Rush (2020)

One of the best I've seen

I love the story really a lot. It's not an unusual concept in kdramas, that they are special to each other, but in BLs where always all are about engineers or doctors, then, well, probe and mono are something new.
I really hope that there will be a second season because the last episode left a lot of unanswered questions, but guess I can read the novel too to get answers early.
I can honestly say that I will rewatch it, probably many times, lamenting how short the story is.
And despite the actors being relatively new, they pulled it really heroically. The main Yeonwoo, I could really belive he that he had no other choice than to do it. And Yoohan's actor was the same. steady perfomances slightly getting better towards the end :)
For me this drama was something I had really enjoyed watching and I'm looking forward to second season, hoping that it would be now full-length.

MORE!

It's another Korean mini BL series. I mean, WHY? The plot about a mono and a probe is interestingly new and very promising. It could have been a great way to play with the story if it was in regular full-length series. So what happened was it became obviously shortened with many gaps and other angles not given a shed of light, leaving the viewers many questions in mind. I wish a bit more background was given about the early days of having color blindness and face blindness for both of the main leads. What about the progress of the search for the mom who was a mono, too? What really happened the day she went missing? What was the images about her underwater? I guess this is the result of having the series short. But it also gives us a hint of a very big possibility of having seasons.

Korea joined the BL world by starting short series with different main leads. It's good that they are giving chances to other actors to show their potentials and each drama recently released were given justice. I just hope that they won't end in just one series but take this as a starting point to have more projects like in Thai BL where the main ships were given series of projects.

The actors in this series can be considered reasonably good. Perhaps they were originally idols and not actors. If given the chance to do more projects though, I believe they'll do it better. Practice makes perfect, we say. But the chemistry is really effective.

Again, I hope there will be a next season and all questions that were left unanswered be cleared then.

The colors of my world, are also colors of his world.

Okay, so first I'm saying that this is one of my fave short BL drama ever!

STORY
I had no idea how the concept of colors may turned into something very pleasing to both my eyes and heart. It was new for me and I love it. I do really like a lot the idea of MONO's and PROBE's. I'm surely know that if it is a full length drama, they can give us more. The flow of the story is so good and I also love how they educate me of the different color shades and variants. They even did a good job on writing the lines cause I really do enjoy it a lot. I'm just hoping that they didn't have to let Yoo Han become a person with face blindness as a twist cause it's not really needed. I mean if I am Yoo Jun, maybe I doubted Yoo Han intentions, cause I will think that the only reason he likes me is because I am the only one he can fully see a face. But well, overall the concept was a top tier for me.

ACTING or CAST
Hmmm. Some people say that Hyun Jun acting is stiff and robotic but I don't agree with them. Yes, at some point I found him kind of loss with the acting but it is just for a few moment and I guess it is also suitable for his role, as a guy who always wear mask, hmmm mysterious like that. Then we have, Yoo Jun, I don't have anything bad to say about his acting cause he slay it. For being a student who builds wall around him to turning his soft sides with Hyun Jun. He's literally good and deliver his role perfectly. I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CHEMISTRY. I can feel, I even scream for few of their scenes, and most importantly I enjoy it. Butterflies in my stomach!!

MUSIC

The moment I hear that opening song, I already go to Spotify and add it to my playlist cause it's so very beautiful. OST is one of the reason on why this drama is a must!

This time, this love... I'm singing right now hahahaha


Overall, I give this a 10/10 rating cause they deserve it. For a 8 episodes drama with 15 mins duration, this drama fulfill the goal of making the viewers fall in love with them. One of the best Korean BL I've ever watched! Thank you for allowing us to enter the world where MONO's and PROBE's exist. Just like Yoo Jun statement's in the last episode "The world of colors is infinite, just like one's love for another." I hope you, the one reading this review, may also find the perfect person who will give a aesthetically beautiful color to you life cause I know we do all deserve someone who will treat us perfectly.

I love you, Color Rush.

Great concept but needs longer episodes

The whole storyline is honestly really unique, I already knew that I would like the show when I read the title. Everything hooked me in, but there was a huge problem due to the shortness of the episodes. There wasn’t enough time for it to develop the relationship properly and made the couple more revolved around the concept of them being a mono and a prove, or the plot of the missing mom. I also felt that the characters fell short for me, they could’ve had some more personality to them, but maybe that’s also because of the short episodes. Overall, great concept, amazing OST (plus where the heck is the music for the color rushes,) cool visual effects, and pretty good acting.

Such a good story

Short but incredibly sweet , loved the whole concept and the acting was actually really good.
The idea of a completely grey world scares me too so I really felt the protagonist's pain. Kinda left me hanging with the whole "my mother disappeared but we dont talk about it " thing, so I hope they will have a season two so they can explain it. The guy possesed with the grandfather ghost? I was really lost on that part lmao, I think they could have left that out.
I would recommend this series to beginners in the BL world.
Also completely random thought but Yoo Han 's voice is incrediblt soothing

What it is to be different

What an unusual and touching story. The loneliness and alienation felt by someone who only sees in mono can probably be well understood by anyone suffering a condition that sets them apart from the norm. For others it is a poignant insight into that loneliness.
I loved the cast and characters, which were fresh and natural.
I'm sure it would be welcomed by those who enjoyed this story, if the writers and producers felt it successful enough to expand on the plot and give us a full length drama that covered the characters' own stories that led up to their meeting, the search and investigation into Yeon Woo's mother and the evolving relationship between Yeon Woo and Yoo Han.
The 'R' rating is a mystery to me. I get that a same sex couple may be taboo, but the content really didn't warrant it. Gay relationships should be seen as a natural part of life in this day and age, especially in a progressive and modern country, and when it is portrayed as delicately as this.
Trigger warning for attempted suicide.

I was completely blown away!

This is my first time writing a review so keep in mind it might not be the best!

STORY

I've watched quite a few BLs before Color Rush and only a few of them stood out with such an interesting storyline. Color Rush was definitely one of the most unique storylines I've witnessed. The plot was well-executed even in the few short episodes. However, there were a few holes left, but that isn't that big of a problem. I'm still hoping for a season 2, cause I believe that the story and the directors/producers have the capability of making it happen. Also, I enjoyed the story cause the plot wasn't too complicated and hard to understand; yes, there might have been some suspenseful moments, but most of the scenes were something that will put your mind to ease. Overall: 9.5/10

ACTING/CAST

To be honest, I'd started watching this drama just because of Hyunjun, but I was totally amazed by the rest of the actors and the chemistry between the two leads. Both leads did a great job in acting out their roles. I gave the ACTING/CAST section a 10/10 rating, but if I could give it an 11, I definitely would.

MUSIC

First of all, every k-drama soundtrack is absolute gold. This one is no exception. The moment I heard "FINDING YOU" and "COLOR RUSH" I fell in love with the songs. 10000/10 tbh.

REWATCH VALUE

Well, since I've already rewatched it 2 times, and was equally amazed every time, I would say that the rewatch value is pretty high. If you ask me, it's definitely worth rewatching.

What a beautiful and colourful journey!

Color Rush! What a journey! From the beginning to the end, I was carried through a grey and dull world where being introduced to colour by basically your true love. It was a unique and breathtaking ride, with a few flaws.

Story- 9/10
I have to take away a mark due to the fact of the synopsis. The third paragraph states that the MC, helps Yeon Woo's aunt in looking for his mother/ her sister, where an unexpected story begins to unfold. This does not happen...LIKE AT ALL. The missing mother and not finding any clues whatsoever about here whereabouts is bugging me a bit. Maybe they did it this way to have a second season, which by the way is very rare in the K drama world.
I know that there were other parts that troubled some people, butcwho knows? Maybe they might add them in the director's cut that is coming soon. Otherwise than that, I loved the MC as well as the supporting characters.

Acting- 10/10
These actors were good! They were able to bring these characters to life! Heo Hyun Jun has somehow made learning about colours sexy when he was describing it to Choi Yeon Woo's character. Also, the scene vefore they kissed! That had me so emotional where one can't recognized faces and the next one can't see colours. But together, they are able to see this. That fricking moment made me teary eyed.

Music-10/10
The music is so addictive and beautiful. It was also well placed in the series where it was able to set the mood.

Rewatch Valu- 10/10
I will most definitely watch this again! Matter of fact, I'm just waiting for the director's cut to see if any new scenes were included to watch it again!

Overall-10/10
Although they were some plot holes as I have stated, it was still an enjoyable series. This truly made my Wednesdays and Thursdays. I love t so much and would most definitely recommend it!

Finding Color in Someone's Eyes

Do you like soulmate plots? Colourful symbolism? Mysteries? Sweet romance with important messages? Then Color Rush is definitely for you.
Though there are some hiccups, such as a few parts of the acting and that it's far too short for such a plot, Color Rush is a well-done series. It's two people that are each other's missing piece in life. Fair warning that although this show does deal with some heavier stuff, it's still worth giving a watch. It dives into a lot of deep, psychological topics, which leaves you something to think about. Also I learned a lot about the different colours mentioned along with their histories. This is an overall interesting concept, with beautiful music and a decent cast of characters to boot.
I only hope that there is a continuation as this series has potential.

This is literally one of the best show's I've ever watched

I don't even know where to start, this show is so good. I'm upset that it's not longer, it definitely would have benefitted from longer episodes because then we could have had better / more in depth character exploration, but they did great with the time they had.

The story is amazing, I won't spoil anything because I think it's good to go into this show blind, but I like that it's not a conventional sappy love story, it feels raw and realistic. It a very interesting take on the whole soulmate / destiny-esque trope and explores some really intense and serious themes. If it was longer and had more time to explore and go in depth this would easily be a 10, but it Korean so what can you do.
