Friendly Rivalry

The story is a bit disappointing..

I got to know this drama due to the viral of clip on my TikTok, so when everyone said that it's an LGBTQ+ drama, I thought that this might be a good starter for GL korean series, follow along like Semantic Error so ngl, I had a high hope over this one, but girl.. The drama only labelled as GL due to a kiss scene of less than 5 min clip in ep 4? And on top of that, it's only a dream??

But other than that, I feel like the drama could be much better. The plot itself were pretty good, but the scene were kinda mixed up here and there, as I was a big fan of scifi myself, couldn't also solve this part lol. The ending is not a big cliffhanger like the one I used to watch, but it still did peak some of the viewer's curiosity (including me), like..
1. Does Jein truly die in the end? Or she managed to survive?
2. What happened to Jena in the end, did she really lost her memories?
3. How about their dad, Taejoon, did he really the one at fault for killing Seulgi's dad? Or is it Jena?

There's a lot of question that we can't stop but wondering, but at least the ending gave a good closure. For the positive side, I couldn't stop praising their acting skill, and the plot itself that really makes me indulge deep in it, until I bingewatching them for 4 days only 😂 If you ask me if it's worth it? Yes, if you're into complex mystery, bully high school drama but if you're into action romantic or far else, then skip.

Definitely Worth Watching

One of the my favorite aspects of this series was the acting. The chemistry between Jeyi and Seulgi was portrayed so well by the actors and I felt like I could really feel the essence of their relationship and personalities in the show. The other supporting actors also did really well and made the show very immersive. Although there were a few awkward moments here and there it was overall really convincing. The story was probably my least favorite part, but I don’t think it was bad at all. I feel like the beginning few episodes as well as the last few episodes were really well put together for the most part and I went through a ton of emotions while watching them. I think three or four of the later middle episodes became a little convoluted in terms of plot and the pacing was a bit off, but I really think the show got back on track towards the end so it’s worth pushing through. I will definitely be rewatching this, especially because of how much the ending stuck with me. Obviously it wasn’t perfect but it was a great introduction to GL and K-dramas in general for me so I loved it!

One of the most confusing series I’ve watched

I won’t get much in the story but this whole series made me crazy. I was hoping for something good and actually this was more than what I expected. It had the plot twist, making the viewers nervous and yarn for more. The open ending leaves the potential of getting another season and get to know more about the characters’ future. Even if we don’t get one, we can still imagine every character being happy and moving on with their live the way they would want to. I should thank everyone that worked for this masterpiece and made this series for us. I’m looking forward to seeing them all in their new projects anytime soon! 💙

This film takes us on a long, winding journey—through dark corners, exposing, criticizing, and satirizing the harsh realities of life. Yet, in the end, everything ties back to the voices of those forgotten and lost in the vast sea of people.

The presence of S and J in each other’s lives becomes an opportunity for them to reflect on themselves—to recognize their wounds and heal together. S now has someone to hold her hand, making the journey no longer lonely. J has someone waiting in her heart, a place to return to no matter how far she drifts.

Oh, and I absolutely love how the film uses *water* as a metaphor—calm on the surface yet carrying immense pressure beneath.

Very addictive

Although there's some plot-holes, i really enjoyed watching the whole series. No wonder K-dramas have been on the TOP when it comes to plots and acting. Hoping this open doors for more projects/opportunities to these wonderful actresses. The only thing i hate is that, why is it only 30mins long? They could've put it in the typical kdrama length so that they can address all those loop holes. Also they could've use the ost in good use rather than being on the ending credits only. But overall this really exceeded my expectation in the gl department. The tension and buildup was soo great and their chemistry was on top!

MUST WATCH!???

All I can say that this drama was an roller coaster. The first half pulls you in so deeply, the anticipation. It’s the kind of story that keeps you up at night, waiting for updates, eager to see what happens next. But as the story progresses, it becomes almost overwhelming like it’s too much to handle. The emotions intensify, the conflicts grow heavier, and suddenly, you're left wondering how something so beautiful can also be so heartbreaking.

I know not everyone is satisfied with how it turned out, and I understand why. Some moments felt unexpected, and some emotions were left unresolved. But that’s also what made it feel real because in life, not everything wraps up perfectly. And maybe that’s why it hit so hard. It’s the kind of story that lingers in your heart long after the final episode, making you question what love, fate, and happiness truly mean.

One thing I know for sure is that I will never forget this drama. The characters, the way they cared for each other, the way they loved it all felt so raw and genuine. I laughed, I cried, I got frustrated, and I fell in love with every moment. No matter what others may say, to me, this drama is still one of the best. It gave me a whole lot of emotions that I never expected. Moving on from this will not be easy, and honestly, I’m not even sure I want to.
