Friendly Rivalry

I LOVE IT

I will miss every Sunday to Wednesday at 10 PM, waiting for the new episode to come out. It makes me feel so many emotions. I had never heard of this show until the third episode was released. I watched it and was instantly hooked—like an addiction. I want to rewatch it, and I need to rewatch it to relive the thrill.

I want to understand why Jaeyi acts the way she does—what does she want? I spend day and night analyzing every detail, and yet, I can't find a single plot hole! Every day at 6 PM, I turn into a detective, searching for clues in the trailer. Funny enough, every episode is a twist of its own. Most of my guesses are only 40% correct.

Hyeri's facial expressions are top-tier in this game. But Subin? Tsk tsk The way she plays that character is everything. She makes you want to protect her while also admiring how smart she is, with an incredible memory and the way she slowly stands up for herself.
The two of them act together so well that their characters have insane chemistry. This is actually what I think true love looks like. They don’t need to say anything; they just know they belong to each other, and we know it too

If you hate the characters, kudos to the cast—they did their job perfectly. It’s such a great time to be alive, getting to watch each new episode and discuss it with people on social media. This show reminds me never to give up on life. It’s a masterpiece in storytelling, and I truly appreciate the art of making a show like this.

Thank you to the director, the writer, the editors, the cast, and everyone who brought this show to life

I love this drama so much! I became so attached with the actors who participated in this series! oh my god I love them all especially the two girlfriends! HAHAHAHAHAH kidding, I loved Jaeyi and Seulgi's character here! Hyeri and Subin did a really great job and so did the other actors! My favorite episode is Ep 8! HAHAHAHA and my favorite scene was in the last ep when Jaeyi told Seulgi that she only gave vitamins to Seulgi before taking the midterms and not any other medicine! this scene was so precious to me, it emphasizes the trust and love of Jaeyi for Seulgi, that she believed that Seulgi could ace the exam without any medicine taken, and so she did! I love them both sooo bad. The bittersweet ending was so good, they both got what they deserved individually with the help of each other. I'm rooting for season 2!! Great Job, Friendly Rivalry. :))

BEST K DRAMA EVER.

seriously, ive never had a k drama stick to me like this before. its not even on popular platforms, and yet it stands out to me the most. the fact that gl is taboo in korea aswell is amazing, but they still put so much effort into it.
the cliffhangers are addicting, and each time a new episode drops i find myself wanting more and seeing what will occur. i really hope this has many more seasons because its beautiful how they depict this, a nice storyline with characters that you feel really fit that role they play , and wonderful acting.
there wasnt a second in the show where i was like "this is boring". i love this k drama so much, please watch it if you haven't yet! you wont regret it!
please please please korea make more of these gl dramas! ive been searching for this stuff and when i saw this come out this year, it was my wish come true! dont be afraid to produce more , ignore the haters who are anti-lgbt! (ง •_•)ง
