Loved it, totally worth it
At first i wanna say that i didn't wanted to watch this drama cause i thought the plot was a bit basic, and i thought the drama was way more superficial than it actually is. Bu i have to admit that i was wrong watching color rush. I'm not a fan of red flag couples and irl i would be a bit scared, but they're such a good couple and i love them, even tho they're not exactly what you call an heallty couple. I'm happy that they ended up togheter even with all the problems they had, cause i think they complete each other. Irl i wouldn't support a relationship like that cause they're too much coedipendent and basically became really toxic if they're not togheter, so they're on thin ice, but for the plot of the drama, i think it's more realistic like that. The acting is immaculate, and i don't give a ten out of ten in general just because i wanted to know more about his mum story, but overall it's awesome.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Interesting concept
Great story. The obsession with the mum was a bit much, and the ending didn't quite deliver on all the promises, but it was still very enjoyable and a brilliant concept. I really wish the dark obsession (which was the entire point of the show!) didn't just disappear without explanation. I was so fascinated to watch a dark psychological romance with an obsessive ML, and for the most part, it delivered. I think they chickened out a bit at the end, or maybe they were just short on time. I'd love to see it extended and for them to maintain the darkness all the way through. But overall, not bad.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

I REALLY LOVED IT.
At first I was so excited because it was from Korea , second I was curious if this will have sad ending or the story won't make sense but after watching this all my queries were flown away . It was superb watching this. Those who haven't liked it or thinks it's average i want to tell them that korea is not like Thailand but yet it has been improved alot in a year or twice. It started from bromance to bl ship then sad ending to good ending and etc. This is complete example of good ending. The story was very fascinating , fancy yet unique and resulted good. I loved it . The actors played their best past (their character). Both were good looking. Sweet moments. I enjoyed watching it. (Note this - it's my review I hope you would watch it , it worth watching ,if you like can comment if you want to)But if you don't then sorry , maybe we have different views. but I still want to say ,you try watching it.

Lovely and surprising !
Should we start with the story ?It was great, refreshing and surprising in many ways! Who can deny that the mono probe relationship was not great, refreshing and surprising ?
The acting/cast ? Amazing ! I have no complain about the cast, the cast is completely made for this drama. The main actors have done a fantastic job!
The music was absolutely wonderful, as expected, a bl kdrama is still a kdrama with quality OSTs.
The rewatch value ? Haha, I've rewatched it many times already, and I will certainly rewatch it!
So overall, a good 10 because why not ?

Bond between 2 people
If you're looking for something that will melt your heart and make you giggle and cry then this series is just for you. At first glance this series may seem a bit bland and at times generic to some, however the beauty of this show is the subtly in the passing actions and words behind the characters. I've had to rewatch a few scenes and episodes to fully capture the meaning, however this series is simple yet sweet.STORY: A mono and probe relationship between a bonded pair of people, seems simple enough, however it gets way more complicated with how it is represented in the show. The character development and story at times can seem a bit choppy due to time constraints and how short the episodes are, however the story wraps up nicely and provides the viewer with sprinkles of subtext and future context. Like a puzzle, the viewer will need to pick up the bread crumbs and pieces in order to understand the full story which is revealed in a compelling way. Besides a few plot holes and unrealistic, and at times, best case scenario idealistic view of the story's problems and drama, the story is well thought out and written, however without any background of the novel providing the extra subtext, can make the experience seem confusing. The arc and resolution to the overall problems of the climax are somewhat too idealist but for the overall premise the story is well written and overall loveable.
CHARACTERS: At first glance the character Yoo Han may seem a bit cold, cruel and even confusing at times, however his actions have a completely different meaning. For viewers who haven't read the novel, his actions may seem cruel. Without the subtext to go off of, viewers may find his character bland or unappealing, however the shock comes with the reveal in his intentions. Although he is the generic bad boy, the depth of his character is slowly revealed. Yeon woo's character is a sweet, caring and loveable character that takes time for the viewer to fully appreciate and love, however the dynamic between the two main leads drives the show and the character development in Yeon Woo is apparent since the show is completely seen through his perspective.
ACTING: the chemistry between the main leads may start off as forced or dry for some, but by the end of the series the audience can tell the growing bond and the growth of the acting skills of the leads. The viewer should take into consideration that the acting may be a bit stiff due how new the main leads are in the acting scene, however it can be easily overlooked by the sweet scenes and overall storyline. However for me, I wasn't able to tell that it was the actors first time acting since they were immersed and passionate in their acting. Due to short screen time, side characters that deserve extra scenes weren't able to have that which would have honestly made the character's backgrounds more solid and could have provided a more solid foundation for the story, however the adorable interactions of the second couple provides comedy relief and a overall sweet break from the gloomy, sad storyline at times.
OST: the main track of Color Rush by Ryu Su Jeong provides a bittersweet context and the lyrics completely tells the story of the main leads and relationship between the main couple. The sweet harmony and wonderful soundtrack "Finding you" drives certain scenes and the humble background music provides depth to romantic interactions of the main couple. The main track honestly tugs at the viewer if you understand the lyrics and how they literally tell the story of the main couple.
REWATCH VALUE: If you want to enjoy something sweet and touching and just have a quick watch to pass your boredom this show is for you. I honestly recommend rewatching each episode at least once to get a fuller context of the character's words and actions to completely immerse yourself in the series since certain future context can be easily overlooked due to the short episodes. The romance is totally worth the long wait between the main couple and carries the show right from the start and is the driving element of the show.
Overall this show is a sweet diamond in the rough and the storyline really drove it and carried the weight. It is really underappreciated and the story is really what drives the series along. The acting, story, and characters are bitter sweet and the romance is written in a compelling fresh way. The Sci-fi elements are honestly a breath of fresh air and I completely recommend this series!

I'm a sucker for bl kdramas
Oh.. my.. god.. I absolutely loved this series!! I've always liked these kind of concepts and it being a love story made it even better. The story was very well made, I even posted a post saying I would procrastinate watching, but I just couldn't stop thinking about what's going to happen next. I also think there could be potential for, maybe not a whole second season, but like a special episode or something, since the ending was very open.One thing I love specifically about the latest bl kdramas is that the production value is very high, sometimes even better than straight kdramas. The experience watching this was truly wonderful; I couldn't take my eyes off even for a little bit, although I usually sit on my phone while watching.
The actors had good chemistry too and their acting was beautiful. I think they portrayed their character's emotions very well, especially the harder parts, like color rushes. I'm a bit sad they didn't really develop the aunt's character, but, oh well, can't wish for everything right?
Overall, this will most likely get in my hall of fame. :)

Conceito fanfic sobrenatural que você não sabia que precisava
Color Rush me animou desde a primeira vez que ouvi falar, mesmo que eu não tenha visto muita informação sobre, o simples fato de ser tageado como "soulmates" já foi o suficiente para me deixar curiosa ao ponto de querer assistir logo que eu descobri a existência da série. Pra quem cresceu lendo e escrevendo fanfics BL, eu nunca imaginei que chegaria a assistir uma produção gráfica com esse tema que sempre foi um dos meus preferidos. Mas, deixando meu discurso fujoshi emocionada de lado, vamos à história:Color Rush conta a história de Choi Yeonwoo, um garoto que nasceu com um tipo de deficiência neurológica que impossibilita que ele veja a maior parte das cores, fazendo com que tudo que ele enxerge seja em tons de cinza. Nesse universo fantástico, as pessoas com esse tipo de deficiência, os chamados Mono, são vistas como perigosas, uma vez que existe um segundo tipo de pessoas, os Probe, que tem o poder de fazer com que os Mono vejam as cores, uma vez que eles olhem o rosto desse Probe, que seria sua alma gêmea. Por esse motivo, os Mono tendem a ter reações agressivas quando encontram seus Probe, como sequestrar e até assassinar suas almas gêmeas por não saberem lidar com a falta das cores quando estão longe de seus Probe. Então, quando Yeowoo conhece Go Yoohan e eles descobrem ser Mono e Probe um do outro, Yeowoo fica com um pé atrás, com medo de se transformar no tipo de monstro Mono que ele costuma ver na televisão. Mas Yoohan, em vez de se afastar e temer Yeowoo, parece ter muito interesse nele e se recusa a se manter longe.
Certo, o tema da história é bastante cativante analisando dessa forma. Fantasia + BL + almas gêmeas + idol actor (quem faz o personagem do Yoohan é o Hwall, ex membro do The Boyz) = Receita perfeita. Mas eu preciso destacar aqui que o modo como a problematização do universo foi apresentada me pareceu exagerada e irreal demais. Certo, "é um universo sobrenatural fictício, não faz sentido dizer que é exagerado e irreal porque é essa exatamente a definição de sobrenatural e fictício" eu sei, eu sei. Mas, da minha perspectiva (e aqui eu caio naquela ideia de ego de autor falando mais alto "se eu tivesse escrito isso teria feito tal coisa..."), as coisas não precisavam ser tão extremas. Quer dizer, não faz sentido colocar todos os Mono numa classe de assassinos doentis e continuar permitindo que eles frequentem as escolas e lugares públicos de forma comum, certo? A história em si não deixa muito claro se toda essa ideia dos Mono serem agressivos é senso comum ou só coisa da mente do Yeowoo, então eu não pude analisar direito. E, ainda assim, também não faz sentido que seja senso comum que os Mono sejam agressivos (do modo como acontece até mesmo com o Yeowoo, no caso). Quer dizer, por quê seria uma reação natural (ou até animal) você ativar seu lado agressivo por não poder ver as cores? Certo, não dá pra dizer que NINGUÉM reagiria assim, mas tornar um senso comum também me parece demais. No drama não é mostrado os Mono tendo reações depressivas, ou criando grupos de ajuda àqueles que querem aprender a lidar com seus Probe, nem nenhum tipo de reação diferente à agressividade que tanto assusta o protagonista. Tudo bem que é uma série com episódios de quinze minutos, mas eu ainda esperava um pouquinho menos de esteriótipo, principalmente por ser uma produção coreana.
Ainda, deixando de lado essa crítica ao universo, eu preciso concordar com todo o amor e admiração que as pessoas tem dado à Color Rush. De fato, a Coréia nunca desaponta em questão de produções BL. Eu fico muito feliz em poder participar dessa época de descoberta e inovação.

Interesting premise, characters, sweet promises, but as always for BL kdramas, it falls too short
If you hate short dramas and hate dramas that don't follow through on most or every plot thread, then you don't want to watch this. This is more like a preview than anything else. Each episode is about 15min long with eight episodes, so ultimately, you only get about two hours of the drama--so more like a movie than anything. Because of this limitation, not everything will be addressed--and there are several threads that are so intriguing but ultimately isn't given the attention. Also, *trigger warning* for suicide--I can't remember the exact episode but I want to say it's episode 6 or 7.This drama is solely focused on the two main characters and their growing relationship, but mostly shown from Choi Yeon Woo's POV. The premise is that in this human world, there are humans with the condition of "mono," meaning that they see things in grey and grey colors only. This is different from colorblindness, though, because monos have a chance to see colors if they find their "probe." The driving tension is that Choi Yeon Woo fears finding his probe due to the many cases of monos going crazy without their probes and ultimately doing horrible things to their probe--like murder. He doesn't want to become like that. The driving emotional tension is that Choi Yeon Woo's mother, also a mono, disappeared four years ago. So, he goes through stages in reconciling with the absence of his mother.
Aside from the discontent that comes from an interesting premise that isn't fully filled, this drama otherwise is beautiful. Strong cinematography with beautiful actors, it is at many times moving. The actor for Choi Yeon Woo carries the show on his back as, again, he's the main focus and the one where we are seeing the world from, so he has a lot of scenes with varying degrees of seriousness and emotions. The actor for Go Yoo Han was fine. Nothing extraordinary, just fine. I think if the drama was longer, he might've had more chances to show different emotions.
Overall, a drama that deals with some hard and dark themes but with a dash of hope and sweetness that comes from the main leads.

A beautiful story of love and acceptance and yet something is missing.
As emotionally attached as i got to this drama and its characters this must be said lolThe story itself is so beautiful and touching. It's about self acceptance and finding love and trust amidst a scary society. I love how casual the fact that they're both men is made out to be. It doesn't focus much on the fact that it's a gay relationship but rather the fact that they are probe and mono. The universe building is great but due to the fact that it's such a short serie it can only go so much in depth. I personally didn't find major plot holes but there are things that could be better and further explained and other storylines that could be touched upon had there been the aproppriate time span or a few more episodes. But for the little time it was given, it delivered the best it possibly could.
The characters are great, easy to understand and sympathize and the dynamic and chemistry between them is funny and adorable. The comedic breaks are also well delivered in my opinion.
For the most part the acting was okay to good especially considering most of them are rookies but some lines didn't feel well delivered not only because of the acting but the writing too, yet it's not something you can't easily ignore and continue to enjoy the show.
Really the only thing that could make this drama better is some slight changes in the dialogue and slightly longer episodes or an additional 2. It's definitely worth watching and still very enjoyable even with it's flaws.
100% gets the gay peep approved stamp !!

Really hard for people to hate
I have a hard time thinking that anyone truly disliked Colour Rush, i can however understand why some people thought it was mediocre.I loved the concept of the show with some people only being able to see black, white and shades of gray(monos) until they met their "destined partner" or probe. It was a fresh consept as well as giving a reason for people to naturally accept the main couple in the sligtly more conservative when it comes to lgbtq+ country korea. Since the pairing was destined no one could argue about the gender of them. I also really loved slightly dark twist with how easy it was for the monos to become obsessed with the probe since it was the only way for them to see colour, as well as the probes and the "normal" people being scared of the monos for just this reason.
The characters were given intresting backstorys as well as their own traumas and beliefs however none of these were really explored. You didn't even really get to know anything about Go Yoo Han until one of the last episodes. I just feel that the show had so much potential that it didn't quit live up too since it's only a 8 x 15 show.
With this being said should you watch it? Yes if you like some nice cozy BL-drama, or if you just want a short and sweet drama to pass some time with then do it, im probably gonna re-watch it since i did like the general vibe of it and im a sucker for BL-dramas. I just really wish that they do some kind of contionuation of this since the show didn't quit feel finished.

ive liked the whole atmosphare that this show gave me. The Actors are well choosen & it was really something different so touching in every detail and ive learned due to the Show even more about colors. Such a well done and great working show. I hope this show gets a 2nd Season, its my Favourite Korean BL Drama ive seen for now ! Actually its my first Review ive ever wrote on MyDramalist so it really has to mean something, Its actually really interesting the whole Concept of Mono and probe. Ive never thought that it will catch me but i couldnt stop watching actually since Episode one ! But we really need to talk about something (TRIGGER WARNING) the selfharm was so sad that i legiit started crying because he didnt wanted to hurt Yoo Han, but selfharm is never the answer or help! I Loved how they focused about the relationship and not only on the news stuff how a mono has to be, but also would have loved to see more about the story of Yeon Woo's mother ! If there getting a Season 2 i really hope they focus on this abit more, Im So Happy about the Ending tho !! Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
