10/10 watch if you love hot red flags

The psychotic, manipulative acting is enough of a reason to watch it. Hyeri, a veteran, took on this role. How could you resist? Even if you're straight, THE PLOT ALONE is thrilling. In terms of acting and production, it is better than 'Pyramid Game.' !!!

Comparable to thai GL or even better

THEY CHOSE THE RIGHT ACTRESSES!!

It's a really good series! Unfortunately, each episode lasts only for 30 minutes, which makes you wanting to watch more. They will literally leave you wondering what will happen in the upcoming episode. Now, about the cast in the series. They portray their characters so well, really professionals. I can't believe Korea releasing a series with this kind of genre again! Its been a day passed after the ep4 has been released and i cant stop rewatching again all the episodes lol. I'm so excited what's gonna happen next! Hope the series will getting more support and be successful until the end!

Friendly rivalry was so good. I'm frustrated, they should've make it 1hr per episodes. I hope they'll be more open about this kind of genre because they have sooooo much potential. It’s so good that i stay up until now and writing some reviews about the drama knowing i have a class in 7am. They nailed the role, the kiss was absolutely a chef’s kiss.

This GL K-Drama Is Breaking Barriers – Don’t Miss It!

This GL K-drama is a gem. South Korea is finally opening up to these kinds of stories, and honestly, it’s amazing. The tension between the protagonists, the academic rivalry, and the way their feelings develop make it super addictive. Plus, there’s a mystery that could change everything. This drama deserves more visibility, but many homophobes are trying to take it down. So if you love GL or just want to watch a well-written story, give it a chance. You won’t regret it.

I love watching this series. I'm so excited waiting for the next episode. I'm so invested with the story. Hopefully they will not change a lot based from the webtoon. Congratulations to the director and staff for releasing this series. South korea Gl series has a lot of potential. I love the characters so much. I'm so overwhelmed with the main characters. They are so beautiful and awesome. They have a lot of chemistry. Kudos to them and the other supporting roles of this series. I hope this GL series will be successful and known locally and internationally. I hope south korea entertainment industry and south korea people will be more open minded to lbtqia+ genre and will support more.

Friendly Rivalry isn't just a K-drama; it's a phenomenon. It's a game-changer, a landmark achievement that will redefine what we expect from Korean television, and its impact extends far beyond the borders of Korea. As a long-time K-drama fan, I can confidently say this is a lifetime event, a show that will be talked about for years to come.

The quality is simply breathtaking. From the meticulously crafted script to the stunning visuals and the powerhouse performances, every element works in perfect harmony to create an immersive and unforgettable viewing experience. The emotional depth is staggering; the show explores complex themes with sensitivity and nuance, leaving a lasting impact on the viewer.

But what truly sets this drama apart is its groundbreaking portrayal of a GL (Girl Love) relationship. In a genre often characterized by heteronormative narratives, Friendly Rivalry boldly challenges conventions and offers a refreshing perspective on love and relationships. The depiction of the central romance is both tender and passionate, realistic and relatable, and completely devoid of the harmful stereotypes often associated with GL stories. This brave and honest representation is not only groundbreaking for K-dramas but also incredibly significant for global LGBTQ+ representation on screen.

The global response to the show is a testament to its quality and its appeal. Viewers around the world are captivated by the compelling storyline, the relatable characters, and the authentic portrayal of a GL relationship. It's a show that resonates with people from all walks of life, transcending cultural boundaries and uniting audiences in a shared experience of emotional connection.

This is more than just entertainment; it's a cultural moment. It's a show that deserves to be seen, celebrated, and supported. I urge everyone to watch Friendly Rivalry. It's not just a great K-drama; it's a significant step forward for the entire industry and a powerful statement about the universality of love.

Outstanding and Unique

I love thriller and gl vibe of this K-drama. I absolutely love the thrilling atmosphere and gripping storyline of this K-drama. The suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat, while the gloomy, intense vibe adds so much depth. The actors deliver natural, outstanding performances that make every scene believable. Truly worth watching from start to finish!
