Watch it for the 2nd Act!
I liked the middle portion of the show, where both leads are forming a bond, more than the start or the end.The scene where Roo Ah sits outside Ji Woo's house and recites a poem to him was, for me, the highlight of the series, and it almost makes me recommend the series just so people will watch it.
Among other things I liked: The Height Difference...just *muah*...In the same greatness level as the Semantic Error leads, as well as the Cherry Blossoms after Winter pair.
Things I didn't quite like: Why should all Korean BLs end near the sea! >_<. Also, Roo Ah's other roommate did not have enough role to warrant his inclusion on the poster...I liked him, he was funny...I would have loved for him to be a little more present and instrumental.

disappointed
I'm honestly very disappointed in this drasma. At first i really liked the idea, reading the plot, but idk if my standard are too high or what but i was so disappointed. This drama is barely a BL, its extremely forced and ji woo and yo na had way more chemistry than him and Ro-a. I Would have preferred if the two of them got togheter. The bl couple was forced, had basically no interaction, and ji woo never had feelings for him until the forced ast episode. I know some people would disagree with me, but this time the straight couple should have been endgame.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointed with the script
I liked this drama but unfortunately it didn’t reach my expectation the reason is simple why couldn’t main leads have more scenes together ? I mean it was all about the girl story and I feel they didn’t cover the whole story I had lot of expectation on actors because I love them from another series they are good at acting but scripts didn’t go well with them, I m fan of Korean series and bl is coming too good now a days but this one was bit down compare to other series but I hope in season 2 they should make story on main leads rather than side character story all the best to the teamWas this review helpful to you?

Short enough to watch
The production with soft lightening and some atmospheric shots, some dialogues, main leads' chemistry and acting were good, but the story used roundabout ways to achieve the plot goals.The "mystery" part added no value as we knew nothing about the stalker at all. Plotwise it basically served the goal to make Ji Woo walk Yoo Na home + add some tension, post anonymously on the forum. And there're so many more creative and time-consuming ways to do that, because the only relevant plot point was post on the forum, and you don't need a stalker for that - anyone could have done that.
Kim Hye Won's character was annoying and totally irrelevant to the plot. Her crush on the teacher and their resolution was too out of place. As a "friend" character for Yoo Na a simple supporting character would be more than enough.
Kim Nam Joon's character was interesting, but his subplot was left dangling. I looked forward to some development with him abd tge "third roommate", but no - that roommate just vanished from existence. Why was he even introduced? It wasn't rational at all.
So basically much stronger and tight plot for 6 episodes would have the post incident around episode 3, exploration of Ji Woo's uncomfortability, Lee Ro A supporting him but also realizing Ji Woo's far from being ready to come out, and complication of their relationship in the next 3 episodes, with a proper breathing room for falling action. Needless to say without all those irrelevant side characters.
There could be a stalker subplot if these 2 terms were met: the stalker is a character present in the story, whom we follow closely and the series is at least 8 episodes long.

…
Yes i understand that it was a short BL and korean BLs are known to not be as good as thai BLs. But this show felt so pointless .. like we didn’t see any kissing or anything that you normally see is basically any romance show. It was obvious that Ro A liked Ji Woo and then when Ji Woo finally confessed his feelings, he wanted to act like he never liked him. But the whole story with the girl being stalked and them helping her out was just not needed. Like it just seemed like the MLs were focused around that one girl and we didn’t rly get to see much of the “feelings” that the two guys were talking about. Idk I just felt like “ok yeah this is happening but why did We have to see it?”Was this review helpful to you?

Its an enjoyable short series
This was a short and enjoyable series. At first, it went smoothly and nice but towards the last episode, it has that cliche of running away from a confession. (had a happy ending)To give my honest opinion of this story, I think it was a good one that is worthy of watching.
The acting was amazing, I totally forgot this was a series, the chemistry is also good. The story is amazing but in the end, I feel like it was rushed. Nevertheless, this series was still beautifully written. The casts, producers, director, etc. did a great job on this series.

fofo mas nada além
recentemente eu terminei tell me that you love me e por conta do hyun jun fiquei com vontade de rever love class e foi algo legal de se fazer, por ser algo que se conclui em 2 horas achei que valeu a pena.a história é muito rápida mas com o tempo não daria pra se esperar muito. é interessante de se acompanhar mas não é um romance que te faz vibrar, a história que acontece para além do romance é mais explorada. esse esquema de séries curtas que poderiam ser claramente um filme me irrita mas não tem muito o que fazer.

Not that good but bad either.
The series is framed by a class about love, wherein the students in the class are paired off in heterosexual couples to do a bunch of love experiments. Two girls pair up, because one is in love with the professor, and the other has a stalker, so she's terrified of all men (except Jiwoo, who's too tiny to be scary). and this is really the basis of the whole series.For me it kind of goes down hill after you get the whole idea of what is likely to happen and where exactly we going to end up. This is a series that could have worked if it were twice as long. It simply had too much going on, a lot of it totally unnecessary, to cover in six brief episodes. Almost the entire story is about Jiwoo pursuing Yuna and dealing with her stalker. There almost no BL whatsoever. but to me, it just felt unrealistic and added just to create a problem between the two lovers.
In general, this is a cute but short show, that doesn't focus too much on the queer side, but it makes it a little bit different from the rest.
Overall Again a short drama which can be done is one sitting.

Incredible story
I really loved and I'm surprised at some of the reviews. It's a really nice story about falling in love. It also shows that Korea is not there yet regarding same sex relationship (well, basically like the entire world) and it puts their possible dating in the spotlight. You might be surprised at Roa's reaction, but unless you've been there, you won't get it, because sometimes it's just easier to be straight and from Roa's perspective if you think about it, you'll understand.The show also highlights how other's perception of dating influences non straight people. It's a BL mixed with some real shit, and honestly I loved it.

Sweet but not all that
I am not going the lie that the story line lacks. However, all the actors did a really good job portraying their characters even the friend that only complained and gets bully by Nam Jun. I think the bl or love component of the show gets lost in Yu Na life story way too much. I dont know if something got lost on the writer part but, the series really tries to show Ji woo journey to exploration of love and self-discovery ultimately realizing who he really loves. I still dont know if the story has a secondary couple since they failed to show that. For instance, if the second couple is the professor and Hye Won or is it Nam Jun and Min Jae. The show is most definitely not a master piece but Its a sweet pill to swallow.Was this review helpful to you?

Simple & sweet !!
Love Class is one of those shows that’s just easy to watch. A lot of reviews are saying it’s super mediocre, but personally I think it’s good for what it is. The plot was lighthearted and not too complex. Of course there were some more serious topics brought up like stalking & potential outing, which I thought brought some reality to the show. As for the relationships between characters, Love Class gave us different dynamics. To me all the characters were likable making it easy to relate to them. Wether it be unrequited love or falling for someone who is kind to you or even running from your own feelings, I think there’s something we can relate to. In the case of Jiwoo and Roa I felt as though their relationship was very natural. The awkward tension, secret glances and small smiles between the two felt very real and true to young love. Overall Love Class was simple & sweet!! I enjoyed it and would definitely watch it again if i’m down. :)Was this review helpful to you?

Surprisingly good, but still decent.
Another small series I'm watching because it doesn't take all day to finish. I had zero expectations when starting this, if you follow my reviews actively you know I never really watch any trailers or read the description so I just opened this with 0 ideas what it would be about. The series is surprisingly good but it's missing a lot and could've been bigger if. Sadly it looked quite low budget. I'm really curious about the second and third season!Let's begin, since the beginning of the series it was clear that it's about a straight guy falling in love w a gay guy. Or at least I thought. Lee Ro A seems like he already discovered he was gay but it was never really confirmed in the series. Cha Ji Woo has a long term crush on Bae Yoo Na. The 2 boys have to pair up because 2 girls are together for a project. Both the main characters have almost none to zero backstory. All we know is that Cha Ji Woo had a crush on Yoo Na. We know a lot about the side character... but the main character?
So those romance lessons were never really clear to me. How much days did they get classes? It were such easy tasks to complete and I get why the teacher wanted that but like?? The dates were super cute and I was honestly expecting a lesbian couple to form between Bae Yoo Na and Kim Hye Won but nope, maybe next season! The teacher had to allow same sex pairs... sure. There was not much character development which made everything feel weird aswell. No realisation of like: woah I might like men. In love with a... teacher and saying things like "age is just a number".. Don't feel like I have to add my opinion on this but it was weird lowkey. Kim Hye Won did annoying fucking Aegyo to that teacher brooo.
A small part on the production because what was that. Look aside from the bl I do care on how things are produced. The overexposure was super annoying. In 2 of the dates that Cha Ji Woo and Lee Ro A went to it was superrrrr overexposure. It might've been done on purpose but it looked a bit weird. Something I just wanna point out is that they used (to my observation) the rule of fourths, which is quite uncommon since The rule of thirds is technically industry standard. Didn't bother me to much just funny to see. I'm in love with the scene in the arcade (ep1) where they speed up things, it feels goofy and just nice to look at. A small part was weird because they clearly used green screen for certain scene's. They kinda forgot to use a background with movement. In one scene the trees didn't move lmaooo. They used really nice background music!!
Some topics like woman being stalked and homophobia included (FINALLY KOREA). Yeah so I hate K bl's for never using actual situations in their series and this is just amazing. The scene was super strong. A rumour going around and everyone showing everyone and just a complete mess. Also so sad for Yoo Na that she was getting stalked. Sadly people don't show much about woman rights in K drama's (please don't attack me) and it's just nice to see the reality.
Somehow really good. I really enjoyed this series and just a bit sad about small things. It's clearly on a low budget so please do not bother it too much in your head. A bit sad it is extreme slow burn and I mean a kiss on the last ep, but there's more season so I'm not judging yet. Funny that the actor Han Hyun Jun was in one of my fav Kdrama's. So funny how Kim Tae Hwan is in singles interno. Recommended for sure, but don't expect a lot!
