ITS WORTH THE WATCH

I really don't watch/have watched any GL dramas or movies but so far with 2 episodes or I say 4 because each episodes run for 30 min., I would say that I really enjoy this series. The cast are really good. The story is really interesting although its not a never before seen story, still very interesting. No boring episodes. I really love the light parts of this series, where the characters tell/introduce their stories is very fun, its just interesting how the characters tell the most heavy and dark stories in their life in a funny and light way. There still a lot of confusing parts but hope they'll make a great job in clearing things up with upcoming episodes. Super excited too see how the stories go specially the relationship of the leads, will they be the arch nemesis or eventually fall for each other. Hope people give this a chance cause its a really great drama and very enjoyable.

GL bait or not idc

i love this show so much n the casts are insanely perfect. personally, i like the fact that jaeyi had long hair cause fem x fem rep😝 n i just think she's super pretty.

now seulgi is cool in this one n i wonder if she'll be as aggressive as she was in the manhwa. certain scenes were very much unpredictable and had my jaw dropped half of the time while other scenes so far made me take a lap in my house (watch it if u wanna know what i mean)

THIS KDRAMA ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS

Friendly Rivalry is literally everything I’ve been waiting for in a KDrama. As a reader of the original manhwa, I was skeptical about how the adaptation would turn out, especially given the distinct nuances of the source material. The plot, centered around the evolving connection between Seulgi and Jay, showcases an intense tension, or we say, chemistry. Idk about how it would turn out in the Drama, but I so so love how the story’s slow burn pays off, especially with its deep dive into GL themes that offer fresh perspectives within the genre. For someone familiar with the manhwa (again) as well, I appreciated how the adaptation made subtle but effective changes to enhance the pacing and emotional depth, all while keeping the core themes intact.

I literally love everything about it from the acting/casting, OST, story and all of it. Lol. This Kdrama is a dream come true for fans of both the manhwa and the genre. It really is a refreshing and powerful addition to the GL genre, showcasing a compelling mix of heart, intrigue, and intensity. It sets a new standard for queer representation in Korean drama, and with its incredible storytelling and unforgettable characters, it's a must-watch for fans of romance, mystery, and GL narratives. I REALLY do HOPE THIS AINT A BAIT NO MORE AND THEY WOULD CONTINUE PRODUCING SUCH AWESOME KDRAMA WITH THE KIND OF GENRE. PLS PRODUCE MORE GL THEMED KDRAMA, KOREA!!!

A gl drama that won my heart


Friendly Rivalry is a rare treasure in the world of K-dramas! GL series arent that common so this one rlly stands out ive been following the manhwa but the way its brought to life in the series is smth else entirely the chemistry between yoo jaeyi and woo seulgi is incredible every scene between them is full of surprises mysteries and tension you never know whats coming next and thats what makes it so exciting im on the edge of my seat waiting for Episode 5 bc i cant wait to see what happens next anyway back to what i was saying friendly rivalry is definitely a must watch. ITSSSS SOOOOOO SOOOOO GOOOOODDDDDDD!!

Petition for season 2

Im actually not a fan to all k-drama but then this series caught my attention and became addicted to it, why? Because the casting were so great and not too over reacting or over hyped, I like the flows of story, the settings and all, this will be my number 1 in all korean movie or series. I hope there’s season 2 for us, please 😭 we deserve it! I want seulgi and jaeyi have their justice to live together, if there would be no season 2 then make even just 1 special episode for them, we really want to see them reconcile and have happy ending. We will miss you seulgi and jaeyi!forever treasure

This isn't an ordinary Korean Drama or GL

Totally hooked! Expected a typical thriller, got a mind-blowing masterpiece. As a thriller fan, this is a supernova. Forget everything you know. Acting? Perfection. Casting? Genius. Production? Immersive art. Chemistry? Electric. The narrative? Intricate, shocking, profound. It subverts tropes, explores dark themes, and delivers genuine twists. It's an emotional, psychological odyssey that'll stay with you. You NEED to watch this. Prepare to be transformed and mind-blown.
Trust me a just watch it for yourself, you'll see.

A Drama that Breaks Outdated Norms

Friendly Rivalry is more than just the relationship between two characters. This show keeps viewers on the edge of their seat as the plot unfolds with many twists and turns. The cast put all their effort into bringing these characters alive that introduces issues that teenagers face in South Korea. It's a must-watch!
