Couldn't this have been a full series?
In my strongest belief, had this been a full series of like 12 to 20 episodes, this show would've been a BL classic. I'm not really much into iseki/time travel shows unless you can make it good, and Tinted With You had all the stops to be good. The problem was the length. For whatever reason that I can't find out (probably due to budget reasons), the production company decided to make this an 8 episode series each of them like 10 to 12 minutes long, and most of the time is either recapping last episode or a super long preview of what the next episode is going to be. The story felt completely rushed with modern boy transports to Joseon era Korea, modern boy has to fit in, romance happens, boy now has to return home. Uh, where was the action? Where was the conflict? I mean, couldn't we have some Inuyasha stuff happen at least? Oh, and as much as I love the theme song, I was sick and tired of it by the last episode. Like, did they not have any other songs in their soundtrack? Jeez...Overall, this show could've been great, but it missed the mark due to how much they were allowed to produce I guess.

Short and Beautiful
Tinted with You is very short, but the landscapes are beautiful!~~ STORY ~~
Tinted with You is a short series about time travel. A student named Eun Ho gets sucked into a historical painting where he meets exiled Crown Prince Lee Heon and Geum, his loyal servant. From there the plot gets a little messy. Tinted with You is very short with 8 episodes, each around 12 minutes. It's hard to tell a story about love, time travel, and a messy kingdom takeover in such a short amount of time, however Tinted with You tries it's best.
Despite the plot sounding dramatic, the series is very fluffy and adorable. The characters are in their small little bubble and are content staying in their bubble.
My only gripe about this series is that the ending was too confusing. Prince Heon and Eun Ho suddenly fall in love and Eun Ho decides to take him to the future... Which miraculously works... I think... The only confirmation we get is that they are together in the future 2 years later. There is no confirmation that the Heon we see in the end is the same Prince Heon from the past. Even that weird meeting with Geum in the future was weird. Are they themselves or reincarnations? I'm con fused. Other than that it was nice to watch.
LEE HEON x EUN HO
They fell in love rather quickly... and I'm surprised Heon didn't go through gay panic since historically two men together was a taboo. Aside from that, they were cute together. They just naturally got together and it wasn't strange or weird. I did feel that they were a bit rushed, but it didn't bother me too much. What bothered me was the ending... Are they dating or just friend?
~~ OVERALL ~~
Tinted with You was cute and fluffy. The landscapes were beautiful too! That being said, this series is a good filler series to watch when you want to watch something, but are short on time. It's not something that I will be rewatching anytime soon though... The OST, however, I need to stick into my itunes asap.

A great drama potential - only to become average due to budget/time issues
I cannot keep quiet about how professional the acting is. It was detailed, and expressions sparked immense beauty. The music was amazing and the story had great potential. All of this... BUT - it lacked in time. In an alternate universe, if this drama had 24 episodes or even 16 episodes, it could be pronounced as "great k-bl". There were many things related to this story that just needed more time to be heard. Somehow even though they managed to show everything in a small time, it felt uncompleted.Still, it is worth watching. It is a good story with great actors, and the setting is on point. I will recommend it 100%

Loved it.....
Well right after I finished watching the series I came here. Tinted with you is a classic historical korean bl that mostly talk about art history of the Joseon times. They did a great job potraiting each charater in this series. The cast is only 5 people in total and they did a great job with that.Fisrt of all if we talk about the story plot it's too simple and cute and very common but I loved it because it's not too much or confusing. I wached the series because for a movie the plot is a little bit weal ( this is just my opinion about the movie ) The director did a great job while making this series by around only a handful of people. I really loved the aesthetics that they used in here.
However I literally loved it and for me it's a must watch. I'm recomending this to every bl fan it's not too long you can just complete this in a day. Also it's so cute and classy so people who love to watch classic ancient bl dramas then you can watch this one and It's a highly recomended. Anyways I loved it.

Sweet but flawed
The characters, namely the Prince and his guard, are both wonderful, their own emotions really got to me, I cried and laughed with them, feared for them, and wished for their safety.Costumes look high quality, the scenery is beautiful, and the story is something I personally love, but it suffers from annoying shortcomings.
Transmigration isn't easy to pull off in such a short time, the behaviour of the transmigrated characters isn't convincing, sadly neither is the romance.
I didn't feel any sparks between them, which is partially caused by Park Jun Hee's abysmal performance, he's expressionless, wooden, seems extremely uncaring when he should have been emotional, the sparks coming from Yoo Hyun Woo were extinguished by him, it looked like a one-sides crush for a guy who went along with it out of boredom.
It could have been a perfect drama if the episodes would have been much longer, the story and romance developed properly, but most of all, with a different actor for the MC.
The music was fine and sufficiently fitting, although I would have liked less k-popy tunes, it just doesn't really match with the historical setting.
Still, it's a very cute, very touching little series that certainly has its charm and can brighten a bleak evening.

Beautiful and heartwarming
This felt like a reward after watching multiple Korean BL dramas that left me unsatisfied at the end for whatever reason.The plot flows nicely and it's easy to understand. The characters aren't explored as much as I'd like in terms of personality, but they're explored just enough to make the story work. The chemistry was also wonderful. Last but not least, I was more than happy to finally see a Crown Prince who has more of a sweet and caring personality rather than an insufferable one (like in most period K-dramas I've seen in the past), which deserves a special mention of its own.
If you're looking for intense and elaborate plots this is not for you, but if you'd like to watch something beautiful and full of warm and sweet moments, then this will be worth your time!

CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED.
It stands very well as a movie/short drama. I love time travel, and historical so it was a perfect match for me. It is a very sweet and cute drama, a very easy watch. If you are looking for something cute and pretty, then this is your answer. With the small budget, it did very well with what it had! All the actors did well too and I loved the chemistry between the main leads, it felt so soft and natural. It has become a comfort movie for when I want something with a little humour, pretty actors and good chemistry. The end was a bit rushed, however it still does not change my opinion, it is a beautiful film.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Poderia ter sido, mas não foi
Esse K-drama tem uma mistura de coisas que particularmente eu não gosto em um BL: Romance histórico e fantasia juntos, essa mistura raramente tem um bom resultado.Enfim, vamos falar da série. Em primeiro lugar, apesar de bons atores, é notório que não houve um grande investimento. A fotografia é linda? Sim, com certeza! Mas toda a série se concentra em dois cenários, o elenco é muito bom, mas que diabos de lugar é esse onde não aparece ninguém? Nem gente, nem bicho, nada...
Outro ponto que sempre questiono nas séries coreanas, por que diabos são tão curtas? Normalmente em oito capítulos, curtíssimos por sinal, a história só tem um bom desenvolvimento se o roteirista for um ninja, e não é o caso aqui. A série acabou, assisti duas vezes e continuo cheia de duvidas. Qual a razão que levou Eun Ho a participar de todo esse babado? Se era necessário ele voltar no tempo e salvar a pintura, então porque no presente a pintura estava lá, são, salva e exposta? Por que o amigo dele também voltou no tempo, e pior, estava cumprindo ordens da rainha que estava ameaçando a família dele, mas a família dele não estava no tempo presente?
De onde saiu a Dona Maria que até agora ninguém sabe de onde veio nem pra onde foi? Entendi que o príncipe estava ameaçado de morte devido a um golpe de seu irmão para tomar a coroa, mas quando ambos voltaram para o tempo presente, o atual, os dois estavam conversando e eu fiquei em dúvida se eles lembravam de tudo que aconteceu entre eles, pois Lee Haeon fala em determinado momento que Eun Ho tem boas notas pois vivenciou tudo aquilo, ao mesmo tempo em que o príncipe fala isso, ele não mostra nenhum vestígio de quem era no passado, completamente adaptado a uma nova realidade de centenas de anos depois, isso me pareceu ilógico, bem como o aparecimento do guarda do príncipe, que não fica claro se reconhece eles, mas também está totalmente adaptado para essa época. Não ficou claro se existe um relacionamento entre os protagonistas no presente, meu Deus, nunca vi tantos furos em um roteiro! Deveria ter no mínimo um episódio especial dando algumas respostas.
Apesar de tudo eu não detestei, também não amei, enfim, tudo nessa série poderia ter sido bem melhor. A ost é bonita, combina com a série, eu já revi a série pra tentar entender melhor mas desisti. Recomendo sim, mas não tenha grandes expectativas.

Better off just reading BL
I have to admit, this is why I only read BL. It always gets watered down.This show was enjoyable and had a likable ML, but really no story to speak of. It clearly had no budget, which doesn't mean that it's terrible. It's honesty not, the views and scenery were beautify shot as were the costumes. But the story and the weird music choices (playing eerie music in a scene that is supposed to be dramatic) really pulled me out of the immersion, sans the lower rating.
I'm not really a Idol fan and don't watch dramas for that reason, so not knowing who any of the leads were (I looked at their bios none of them have been in leads in anything else but this.) Their acting does leave more to be desired, but I'm sure with more experience they'll be fine in the coming years. Plus like I said the ML (probably the best out of the three) was likable. Watch for the scenery, but don't expect to be wowed by anything else.

Cerita Ringan yang pendek tapi bagus
Alur cerita cukup monoton dan sedikit membosankan, Setting tempatnya juga hanya di situ-situ saja...Tapi itu semua tidak terlalu buruk karena Drakor ini berisi Aktor yang memiliki wajah tampan disertai dengan akting yang bagus membuat saya sangat menyukai setiap adegannya
Ohh aku juga sangat suka Ost nya
Suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka suka
