The unpredictable storyline of each episode fills me with excitement. The characters in the main roles deeply affect me. I hope there will be a season 2, or if not, I hope episode 16 delivers a powerful recovery plot twist for a happy moment for Seulgi and Jae Yi. 🫶🙏 It’s been so interesting, and I look forward to seeing more projects with Hyeri and Soobin together. ☺️

Omg, I can’t stop thinking about this movie!! I loved it SO much! The friendly rivalry was just perfect—like, the way they kept pushing each other to be better, always trying to one-up the other but still having so much respect?? It was EVERYTHING! The chemistry between them was insane. Every scene had me on the edge of my seat, and I honestly couldn’t even pick a side because both of them were just THAT good.

And THAT KISSING SCENE between Hyeri and Subin??? I was NOT ready!! The tension, the emotions, the way it felt so natural after everything they had been through—it was PERFECT. I swear, I had to pause and scream because it was just too good. It made their whole rivalry even more intense, like all that passion and competition finally exploded into THAT moment. Ugh, my heart!!

I didn’t want this movie to end. Like, seriously, I could watch these two forever. Every scene, every moment, every little glance between them—I just wanted more. I felt so attached to their story that when the credits rolled, I just sat there, staring at the screen, refusing to believe it was over. How am I supposed to move on from this??

It wasn’t just about competition; it was about passion, growth, and proving something to themselves. You could feel how much they cared, even when they were at each other’s throats. And those moments when they acknowledged each other’s skills?? I LIVE for that kind of dynamic!

I swear, I’m already rewatching it and will probably keep obsessing over it forever. The energy, the tension, the little moments that show how much they respect each other even when they’re competing—it’s just SO well done. I need more movies like this in my life! If you haven’t watched it yet, please do!! I promise you won’t regret it.

IM SO HAPPY, I LOVE IT!!!

Friendly Rivalry has me hooked!!!!! It has a lot of things I like when watching a GL, it’s checked all the boxes I want. When I started watching it I was so invested because the storyline is very intriguing and keeps you on your toes to see what happens next. The production and the acting are amazing too. The chemistry between the two main couples really seals this kdrama. I loveeee their push and pull relationship, it’s very entertaining and enjoyable. I can’t wait to keep watching and I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy it. This is what I’ve been craving for. More sapphic kdramas like this please and more seasons. Yayyy!!!

Complex Friendships – The relationships are layered, making it hard to predict who will truly betray whom.
Emotional Depth – The characters struggle with their morals, making the revenge plot more than just black and white.
Strategic Mind Games – If you love chess-like power plays, this drama delivers.
Stylish Cinematography – The sleek visuals complement the high-society backdrop beautifully.

HYERI AND SUBIN - GL SERIES

Honestly, I have watched other GL series from different countries and no doubt, Korea has always been great in acting. When it gets to cast, it is my first time to watch Hyeri and Subin. They didn’t disappoint us audience. The eyes have great emotion and I loved it. I am currently waiting for the next episodes. I hope there is season 2 from this Friendly Rivalry. If not, then I hope we get new series from them as well.

genuinely one of the most interesting backstorys and plot

i'm giving this 10/10 to support to show and the actors, they did an amazing job at portaying the characters.
the plot is very interesting and keeps you on your toes for what is about to happen next, its so exciting.
i also really like that it is based on college/university instead of them being highschoolers, it gives it a more adult vibe to the drama.
this is my first time ever writing a review for a show or drama, YES ITS THAT GOOD!!!
the chemistry between lee hyeri and chung subin is also amazing.
if u have watched bitch x rich or pyramid game i'm sure u would like friendly rivalry too, give it a go!
i cant wait for the next 8 eps, whenever the new ones release i cant stop thinking about what will happen aahhh i'm so excited.
thank you for this drama!

Absolutely hooked ! The tension, the chemistry, the twists - it's all so addictive

im going crazy for each episodes, Friendly Rivalry is my new obsession! The complex characters, the intense plot, and the amazing acting have me on the edge of my seat. If you're looking for a drama that will keep you guessing, this is it! each episode is next level! The leads have such great chemistry, and their competitive spirit is both thrilling and heartwarming. I'm so invested in their journeys! Can't wait for more!

One of the best mystery thrillers I’ve seen in awhile!
Having the characters still be in HS, & going thru all these twists/turns have you in the edge of your seat. The constantly cliffhangers are so good. Half way thru, but forget what you think you know, bc once you think you do? It’ll throw another twist.
MUST WATCH. Main actresses have top tier chemistry.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
AMAZING CASTING, ACTING, MUSIC, & VISUALS
