Only Friends: Dream On (2026)

A sequel with a personality of its own

The finale was great, maybe not completely flawless, but the wrap-up for every couple hit the right notes.

JackDean: Their reunion left me feeling conflicted, particularly regarding Jack’s reaction to Great, but that tension is exactly what made their ending stand out. You can interpret it in two different ways: either Jack has finally matured and will fiercely defend his relationship with Dean against any future threats, OR the two of them are tragically trapped in an endless, repetitive cycle of breaking up and making up.

ArnoldTua: A tiny part of me craved more drama from their storyline, but ultimately, I adored their gentle and mutually respectful dynamic. They were easily the most balanced pair of the bunch, despite the economic status differences. Even during their worst arguments, neither ever talked down to the other, something I can’t say for the other two couples.

RomeRaffy: This fiery duo started off with a bang but eventually fell into a push and pull routine. Their storyline was a mixed bag for me because I’m still not convinced Rome views Raffy as a true equal. Even after Raffy's personal growth, it feels like Rome’s judgment is always lingering over him. I really wanted to see Raffy fully step into his confidence by the end, but it never quite materialized the way I wished.

Ultimately, all three couples have their flaws, but they are incredibly endearing and easy to cheer for. Honestly, I found their dynamics much more grounded and relatable than the pairings we got in the first season. As for non-couple moments, I adored the friendship between Dean and Tua and I needed more.

Honorable Mentions: A massive shoutout to Timmy for surviving all the chaos. I also really appreciated the brief, beautifully bittersweet moment between Boston and Nick 🥲

Its a messy watch, but u could see me locking TF in

I DONT USUALLY TYPE REVIEWS WITH SPOILERS BUT I NEEEEED TO GET THIS ONE OUT.


Lets talk about why this is my 9/10 series first

two main reasons : romeraffy and arnoldtua PERIOD, POINT BLANK. Pretty self explanatory but i'll elaborate on why. (Ok...FINE. I love AouBoom......)
AouBoom and JossGawin did SOOO good. I was eating up every bed scene these two couples had, AND THE NON-EXPLICIT SCENES TOO. I loved ArnoldTua's pacing, they were quite honestly the only ones not making me lose my mind for a huge portion of the series. Like when the other couples were in distress, Arnoldtua were in their own little bubble. I also loved RomeRaffy AND THEY WERE MY TWO FAV CHARACTERS IN THIS SHOW + DEAN, and that should be obvious as is as to why.

And here's why that 1 went away.
I hated Jack x Dean. So much. Jack is a very toxic boyfriend. Period. BUT HE'S BEST FRIENDS WITH BOSTON, u can't be boston's bestie and be a good guy DUH. I genuinely hoped we'd get a boston x nick situation with these 2 and if u ahvent watched the series u jst wouldn't get it.
I really wanted to like Jack, I REALLY DID. Mostly because he was an INFJ and am an INFJ too. But the only INFJ thing this man ever did was "the show must go on." THERE'S A REASON WHY YOUR BROTHER HATE YOU MY GUY, LOOK INWARD.
He's been such a bad boyfriend that Dean gave up acting (yes he picked it up at the last episode but wtv wtv), he always thinks he's in the wrong, and he's scared of getting into relationships. LIKE, WHOLE TIME WE WERE GASLIT THINKING DEAN CHEATED ON JACK WITH GAMEPLAY BUT THAT ISN'T EVEN TRUE 💔💔💔💔🙉 I'm telling u rn, Dean was never the reason why Jack and Dean kept breaking up, it was because Jack couldn't bring himself to fully trust Dean.

I've seen a LAWT i mean a LAWT of hate on Raffy and Dean, which is really wild, because why are we not hating Jack instead....
I mean, frankly, Dean and Raffy were assholes BECAUSE OF JACK. Sure it was a choice, but people in love do some wild stuff okay? And they're jst sassy like that and lowk preach. I loved Dean, Raffy and Rome the whole show. And sure, you can tell me that Dean and Raffy kept going back to Jack on their own, but for two people who have loved Jack for years, it's not that easy to move on from him, even if he's a peice of shit. DEAN PROVED MY POINT BY GETTING BACK TOGETHER WITH HIM ON EP 12.....
My only problem with Raffy was him saying that Dean was a host at heart, knowing damn well if he was broke as hell, he would have done the same thing too. Why? Because Dean and Raffy are very similar people. But I get why Raffy doesn't like Dean, its not easy to like someone who's been ragebaiting u.

WTVWTV BUT OVERALL, a solid 9/10. Idc wat anyone says abt this not meeting season 1's standards, because you and I both know that if they kept it very similar to season 1, this series would get even worse ratings.
