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!!!Was this review helpful to you?
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.Was this review helpful to you?
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!

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

HYPER ROLLER COASTER FEELING!!!
parang akong buang kinikilig kahit titigan lang ginagawa nila! yung may pagigil effect at the same time may pakilig naman! KYAAAAA!! 너무 너무 좋아!!!!!! di ako makatulog sa sobrang emotion na nilalabas ng katawan ko, ikot ako ng ikot lang sa higaan pagtapos manuod. Minsan naman napapatulala na lang ako pagtapos ng episode, hindi dahil sa bitin sya pero maeexcite ka talaga. Tanging k-drama lang ito ang inaabangan ko at tinilaan ng todo! Sana umabot din to sa Netflix hihihihi 사랑해 설기야!!Was this review helpful to you?
Keep you on your toes and original !
First, it does keep you on your toes!Tthere's never a dull moment! A lot of twist and surprising event! So nice pacing, good balance between the actions scenes, the moment of suspens, the decriptive part of the story.It is also more original than I thought! There s a few drama based on high scholl girl lives. But here, maybe because the 2 main leads are women, it gives an intersting and unexpected (but very appreciated! ) turn on things.
The tensions between the characters is palpable, wether it is rivalry yes, but also fear, admiration, curiosity, obsession, hate, and...maybe, hopefully....love?
I recommend it, the actress are great and you definitely won't be bored!

Friendly Rivalry follows two rivals whose competition turns into friendship and mutual respect.
Friendly Rivalry is a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and school dramas. It not only provides a gripping storyline but also sheds light on the pressures of academic excellence and social status. Chung Su-bin delivers a powerful performance as Woo Seul-ki, perfectly capturing the character’s vulnerability and resilience. Lee Hye-ri’s portrayal of Yoo Je-yi is both charismatic and chilling, making her an unforgettable antagonist. Their on-screen chemistry keeps the audience on edge, as their relationship constantly shifts between admiration and hostility. The actresses are also attractive, adding to their strong screen presence. The supporting cast also adds depth to the story, portraying the toxic competitive atmosphere of Chaehwa High School.Was this review helpful to you?
