Dark Blue Kiss Takeaways

I am no expert when it comes to giving reactions, whether it's about a book, a movie, or a series that I watched. But the thing is, we have thoughts with what we hear, saw or experienced and sometimes it's a lot that we can't put words into it because the feels we had are so much we just can't say it. That's how I felt watching the Darl Blue Kiss. I have so many takeaways that I don't know how to put words in it and just poured out the feels the show had given me by saying it's a masterpiece. For me at least, it is.

I first encounter Pete and Kao in KMA and Kiss The Series. I am snatched with their Tom and Jerry like relationship. No, that's not my trope but somehow Pete and Kao just impossibly make sense. You don't get it? I don't too it's just how they make sense. Well we can say that love moves in mysterious ways (as per MYMP's song says) and that is how I see Pete and Kao.

The following are just MY INSIGHTS with DBK, now, if ever someone came across with this, which I highly doubt, you can just scroll down and not give a damn.

Also a disclaimer, I love the words 'I love', 'I like' and other more so you'll read them often.

CHARACTERS

I love how the series put together the development of each character. Especially Pete and Kao's, well it's their story after all. Growth in Pete and Kao's character are one of my favorites. Pete became mature enough to handle his feelings and make decisions not only basing it with what he wants. It's frustrating to hide a relationship for years but he did it anyway. Kao, although it's scary and difficult wanting to provide everything the people he loves needs and wants, he does it. But being too kind and generous can create problems, and when you're in one it's hard to decide because you don't want to hurt anyone. Close or not. But because of situations like that we learn. How to say no and how to weigh things.

SunMork started on the wrong foot. Maybe it was because of their age but maybe not too. We have experienced life differently that's why being open-minded and understanding should be practice because we don't know each other's story. That's one of the things I like about Sun and Mork. Whilst very different from each other they found something in each other worth risking it all.

When you fall in love it's not a choice, but staying in love is a decision you make. Staying in the relationship, fighting for it is a choice.

Non. He's just a kid, yes he is but he will not be always. Now, he made my head aches every episode he showed up but in the end, he is just a child who wants people to accept him for who he is not what they expect him to be. I know that there are Non in this world and I hope they find what they are looking for.

Cool Gang. KMA and DBK will not be KMA and DBK without these people. Thada, Sandee, and June although side characters make the show more whole. It's good to have friends who would support you and tell you off. That is good friendship and I love them for that. I just wish June would find the one that is for him.

Rain. Is a representation of a good friend and sibling. It's easy to be a friend or a sibling but to be a good one is kinda is. You have to know when to tell them off.

Family Relationship

The series shows different types of parent-child relationship and I love it. Families are different so as the parents and their children. There's this one scene where Pete and his family (with Kao of course) were dining together and talking about the accomplishments of each child. I mean, it is fine to have that kind of conversation, parents being proud of their child's success in one thing but I wish that people would also take into account that children or people are different from each other. They also have different phases or timelines in growth so pushing or comparing their accomplishments with others will just drag their confidence and self-esteem down. In that scene alone, you can see the difference between Pete's father to others and how I wish that most parents will take into consideration about their child's feelings when it comes to situations like that. Parents want what's the best for their children but sometimes, supportive is far different from wanting them to be how they picture they would be. Parents are our guardians, they out light into the path we are taking, but sadly some are blinded with what their roles are. Sometimes they are the ones who put out the light and that's sad, most realized it, after all, is said and done but I hope that by the show, it'll open our eyes to have an open mind and heart.

Pete and his dad's relationship are one for the books. I know it's hard for him but I think that both him and Kao's mom had come into terms with themselves that what matters most is their children's wish and welfare, and that is enough.

Now, Non and his dad's relationship is what we commonly see, whether it's about one's gender or career they choose some parents are like Non's father. Maybe they've experienced something in their past that made them like that but it's also not an excuse to let your child suffer with something he doesn't have an understanding of. Now, I am not an expert when it comes to family relationships but I know one thing for sure, talking it out is a great help.

Timely Issues Awareness

I believe that DBK had put several issue awareness in the series and that's a very big thumbs up to me. Almost everybody is on social media right now, and we have to put it in good use. All phrases to the writers and director for putting it on.

*Safe Sex. It's rare to find shows that promote safe sex. And for DBK to show it with a parent-child scene, wow, that's a big shout out for the show. Some might find it awkward or meh but just what Pete's father said, it's normal to discuss it because you care for the people's health and welfare.

*Social Media Awareness. Some still haven't realized how powerful social media is, especially if you are one of the influencers. With this you can destroy one's life or make a statement. So we have to be careful and vigilant using social media.

*Coming Out. What I learned in the series and with some of my friends is you don't get too out of them. It should be themselves, when they want, how they want. Now, it may be difficult for others to understand but let's put it this way, will you like it if your parents know something about you through other people? No, of course not, you want them to know your decisions and choices from yourself, right? So let's not take that away from each other. Now not everyone will be given an opportunity like that but at least, let's try to be kind and let that decision to that person. It is already hard finding out for yourself that what they think of you is different from what you want or what you are, let's not make it even harder for others.

Some other things I love about Dark Blue Kiss

*The color tones they used. I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.

*Opening. It gives off regal and classic vibe and I like it.

*Tay and New's DBK OST. Don't fight me but it is a mood. Now maybe I am a little biased but I love singing TayNew. Who's with me?

Acting-wise, I applaud everyone.

Tay had just finished 3WBF then started Pete immediately and that just screams professionalism and talent.

New, the first thing I saw in New besides his facial features is his expressive eyes. I don;t know about you but New can convey Kao's feeling through his eyes. And that scene where Kao cries coming out with his mom, I am hurt. I cried too.

Podd. I am so looking forward to his delivery of Sun and he didn't disappoint me.

Fluke and Aj. They surprised me. This is the first time I see them acting and I can't wait to watch them in their next projects.

Dark Blue Kiss has a special place in my heart because I just felt it's every character. Plus I love series that have takeaways. So to the people who made the series possible, THANK YOU!
