My School President

True BL with some really good songs by the cast

I remember watching the announcement trailer for MSP – back in autumn 2021 – and thinking to myself that those kids don’t look like much and that another highschool BL combined with singing can’t be good. Boy, was I wrong.

My reception of MSP rests on three pillars: script, chemistry and music.

The plot is simple and old as the BL genre, but works like a charm. The script was crafted in a smart way, creating a new kind of obstacle the main couple needed to overcome: instead of unsympathetic parents or a homophobic environment we get club rules the characters need to respect to focus on their main goal. Basically: they voluntarily restrained themselves from dating and found cute and creative ways to be together despite of the rules. Some very good choices were made while writing the script, like avoiding toxicity, angst and silly, overblown drama – which meant the characters had to act like real people, properly communicate with each other and get serious about serious stuff. I was very positively surprised but how much we learn about Gun and Tinn – making them three-dimensional characters. The script is in no way perfect, but as BLs come – it’s a top tier one.

Chemistry is a constant challenge for this genre, as it can save or even elevate plain or dumb scripts. MSP focuses on the relationship of Tinn and Gun, so Gemini and Fourth were the ones who needed to sell us the show – and they did it starting from episode 1; what they delivered was on the level of OhmNanon and EarthMix, two best ships GMMTV offered in recent years. Impressive when one considers that Gemini and Fourth were the youngest and, I believe, the least experienced members of the principal cast. The confidence with which they performed was remarkable. Their efforts were supported by strong performances of Mark, Winny and Satang. Lookwa, who played Gun’s mother, was a delight to watch and listen to.

MSP is loaded with songs, both covers and original pieces composed for the show, ranging from soft ballads to pop/rock. This must be the best BL soundtrack of all time – and all of it is performed by the cast. This shows how strong it really is, with Ford, Satang, Gemini and – most of all – Fourth literarily shining. If they get bored or tired of acting, they already have a second career – as singers. My favorite part of the soundtrack is “พูดได้ไหม” (“Let Me Tell You”), Fourth’s powerful rock statement, which gave me goosebumps and reminded me of Polish rock bands I used to listen to as a teen.

There’s something of “Bad Buddy” in this show – not just the cast (Mark, Prom, Satang, Ford, Gemini and Fourth all appeared in minor roles in OhmNanon’s hit series), but more the vibe, feels and atmosphere, which are very familiar. At some point I even called MSP “Bad Buddy Light”. It doesn’t mean that MSP needs the support of another great BL – it stands firmly on its own: well crafted and shot, smartly scripted, with good acting and unrivaled music.

The world needs more wholesome stuff like that.

it's not your typical drama at all

i felt empty after a long time. it was so endearing. i loved it. its not your typical cliche dramas where the ml just acts "cold" even tho he likes the other character. It is cute, cringe, happy and overall a lighthearted drama but it may not be some of yalls taste. The casting was just perfect i say. i reseached a bit and found out that they are just 04s but its just right for the high-school dramas like this, the mc story was based on music so there were pretty good songs that i would listen to on daily basis. i even wish to forget the plot so i can rewatch it as the first time just to get that feeling back . if there are other dramas like this pls recommend it to me 😭

You can't avoid falling in love

Suddenly, Gemini and Fourth steal your heart and your full attention to all they have to say and show. You don't even complain and they lead you through an amazing, sweet and adorable storyline.
Well acted, well directed and well scripted, My School President is the best bl I've always watched, so far.
I really wish Chinzhilla were real so I could listen to all of their songs.
Chemistry is overflowing between the entire cast.
Fourth is such a baby and portrays a teenager discoverying the world perfectly. I just can believe how expressive his face is.
Gemini's handsomeness makes your heart ask for some fresh air and his eyes tells everything you need to know
After all, only one word was left to My School President: Perfect

Love, music and friends

This show is so refreshing! Yes, it's a high school bl, but it's sweet and hilarious and the music is amazing. This group is so talented and the chemistry for each pair, the group as a whole, and the kids with their families is great! This is going to be one i will rewatch regularly. I loved it!
The story is fairly light, only a tiny bit of drama by the usual bl standard. I really appreciate how supportive they are to each other, but at the same time keeping it real with each other.
Gemini and Fourth are so convincing its hard to believe it's their first time as leads.
I've always loved watching Win and Satang in other shows and the don't disappoint here either.

Simple story, GREAT execution

This is a fantastic example of how you don’t need a great plot, you just need great execution. This is a perfect way to handle a mostly light hearted, teen romance. Would totally recommend this to younger BL fans just getting into BL.
The pacing is great for high schoolers, it felt like we were following the blossoming first love of two young people. It’s bubbly, awkward, and sweet.
I have seen a lot of people compare this to Bad Buddy, which is probably because the follow a similar formula. Simple plot, well-paced, great acting and great soundtrack.
I thought all of the characters were well written, ESPECIALLY Tinn’s mom. She’s strict at first but the show slowly shows different sides of her from his relationship with her husband and how much she loves Tinn and wants him to be happy.
The two leads are junior actors but they added a surprising level of depth to their characters for being so new.
I really enjoyed this, it’s definitely a top BL for me.

Such a rare, underrated gem.

I usually skip series like this because I prefer the more angsty, gritty and plot driven stories to the sweet, run of the mill High School series but right from the get-go I knew this was gonna be different. Sure, it's the typical HS Bl series but what makes this so special is how healthy, natural, supportive and romantic the relationship between Gun and Tinn is. So, I'm glad I geve this a chance. It's rare to see a relationship between two teens or rather any couple at all in BL be this communicative and supportive of one another. Tinn and Gun spend the whole series communicating, supporting and trusting each other. With that their relationship grew stronger at every turn. Every misunderstanding they had it was solved rather quickly, and I loved that.
The bonds of friendship were also strong in this one. I love how much Chinzilla loved each other, more than friends and a band they were brothers. Always there for one another and helping each other thru. Another example of healthy relationships expressed in this series. And who doesn't want a friend like Tiwson? He would do anything for Tinn, and he did. Best friend ever for real.
Sound and Win stole my heart. Second couple that came at the right time, didn't take much spotlight from the main couple & made perfect sense. They had great chemistry and who doesn't love the enemies to lover's trope? Perfect.
I loved the relationship the boys had with their mothers. Different but pretty much similar: loving, trusting and healthy. Gun could talk to his mother about anything and while Tinn's relationship with his mother was more reserved she was a great mother as well. The writers did well in showing the contrast between the relationships and how they shaped the boys lives.
The acting was also so good. Fourth showed how talented he was, this kid can do anything. I see inklings of all the great actors of GMMTV. This kid is gonna go far and I'm gonna be right there watching his journey. Gemini surprised me as well with how good he is. He can emote like the best of them. The chemistry between them was also one of the best I've seen too. Not a surprise if we see much more of them in the future.
Another reason I loved this series so much was that it took me back to my High School days and made me relieve my experiences there at times. It felt real to being a teenager: the atmosphere, the friendships, the feeling of falling in love for the first time. Just very well written.
And let's not forget the music. This OST has got to be one of my favorites. All the songs were exceptional. The cast being multi talented makes MSP even better.
Overall I'm so glad I watched it but now my only regret is that it's over. I give this a 10 and would give it more if I could. Highly recommended series and I wish it would have gotten more of the hype it deserved. Word of advice: watch! you won't regret it.

One of the Top Thai and High School BL Dramas to Date

A thought-provoking series that explores the idea of words being potentially deceitful or insufficient when it comes to expressing love. It highlights the complexity of human emotions and relationships, and how what is said might not always align with what is truly felt. The series delves into the realm of unspoken emotions and the power of actions and genuine connection. It's an exploration of the subtleties and nuances in human relationships, especially regarding love. The creators effectively use the delayed verbal confession to explore complexities, subtleties and nuances in the relationship between main characters, Tinn and Gun.

WORTH THE TIME

This series has been so productive with their OSTs that I'm overwhelmed. Furthermore, the whole series is about love and family and music, and they did a magnificent job writing, directing and editing it, I enjoyed it with all of my heart.
The series allocate different components (such as love, family, music, drama, leisure time...) very well. No factor is showcased more than another, though, that could be a downfall to some people out there who only enjoys BLs being about the main couple exclusively. Yet, I enjoyed it without a doubt.
Another thing to add is all of the factors like the story, the struggles, the inner emotional war, the shifts of emotions among the characters were valid and credible. That is something worth treasuring since it has been a big ordeal for many series. This one really fulfilled it's mission.
They produced a lot of OSTs, might be the largest collection throughout all the BLs I've watched (and let me tell you...I've watched MANY), which is great in the sense of telling stories without adding more acting. Some of them were hits and some were misses. However, composing and producing and distributing them correctly has already been an achievement itself.
I do love the characters and their acting, but the actor playing Gun didn't deliver me the sadness, the confusion, the hopelessness very well, but I guess, he just needs more practice, every other characters did not carry a plethora of responsibilties so they did their jobs very well.
In short, your time watching this series with all of its well-planned features will not be wasteful nor will it put you down. I support the series and support you guys watching it all the way. ❤️

A must watch!!!

I created an account just to write a review about this show. I never expected to love this show as much as I do now. I always skipped it when I saw it on any platform because I never really liked high school themed BLs. Then one day I had nothing to watch and decided to give this show a chance. I got really attached to Tinn and Gun because of their chemistry and cuteness! They immediately became my new favorite couple. The show is really light and fluffy and the story progresses slowly and isn't rushed. Tinn's pick up lines are to die for! I'm really happy that I decided to watch this series because it became my weekly boost :)) Every friday I would open the tv and lay in bed waiting for the new episode to come out and the new episodes never fail to make me scream into my pillow and blush like crazy! I'm kinda sad that this show has already ended though. But, I'm still happy that I got to watch this masterpiece. Thank you GMM for this show. <33

BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER WATCHED.

Honestly, there is so much to say about this show. like I genuinely cannot comprehend how much i love this show and how i have grown so attached to it from the day it came out. everything about this show is honestly amazing and has never failed to make my fridays so much better then it is. It feels really sad to know that this show has ended so i'm really looking forward to Our Skyy 2 !!!

1. The plot - the plot was SO GOOD. It showed daily life struggles to achieve a dream, especially for individuals who want to become a singer or anything arts-related. Although it was heart breaking when i found out they didnt win Hot Wave, it was also a good thing they didnt win because it shows that you can still be successful without winning hot wave and giving up isnt an option. the way every member of the band stuck together till the very end after countless of fights (especially that one fight in ep 11) made it so sad to let them go :((

2. Chemistry between the main leads - GMMTV did fantastic on choosing the main characters and who should be shipped with who, because the chemistry between Tinn and Gun is INSANEEE. the way Tinn is just madly inlove with Gun but pretending not to be in the beginning made me so eager to watch there relationship grow. and honestly i have to say, Tinn is a STANDARD. like if my standards are so high because of this show its getting kinda scary. the way tinn was always there for gun and waited for him until he won hot wave, and when Gun found out everything that Tinn did for him was all so beautiful to watch. Furthermore SoundWin chemistry was also so good. like i loved there dynamic since the beginning and how that slowly formed into a relationship between them.

3. Humor - this shows humor has never failed to make me die of laughter everytime an episode came out, i swear to god whenever i get reminded of the jokes they make or some funny things that happen for example that one time tinn accidentally used reverse pyschology on sound to make him join the music club got me replaying that shit over and over again just like the other funny stuff that happened.

4. the OSTs - okay, dont even get me STARTED on the osts in this show. every single person in the bands voice was absolutely incredible. the songs were also so inspirational and motivational that it just keeps you going every day yk? in a way my school president did save me in a way because without it, i bet my life would be so dull till now. as soon as i heard the first song from these guys i automatically went on spotify to download it on my playlist and that continued for every other song they played. I was and still am amazed by how much joy there songs bring me and will never forget them.

there is a LOT more i wanna say about this show but thats all im gonna write for now, if your looking for a cute, fluffy and a
reality check kind of show, this is the one for you.
