Absolutely Adorable (So Far)
I don’t know… there’s just something so refreshing about it. I found myself laughing so much throughout the first episode, and not because it’s trying too hard to be funny. It’s just funny.I think my favourite part so far is that these characters don’t just feel like teenagers, they actually are teenagers. The actors themselves are around that age, and it makes such a difference. It’s nice watching young people just be young while they figure out this completely new environment. They’re awkward, clueless, dramatic, and chaotic in the cutest way. When I say it’s adorable, I don’t mean in an “aww, look how cute they are” kind of way. It’s more that it’s refreshing to watch kids actually behave like kids instead of acting like tiny adults.
And as usual, we have the classic Thai series “convenient inconvenience” trope (at least that’s what I call it), where two people who can barely tolerate each other somehow end up having to spend even more time together. It’s such a funny setup because it’s almost always expected, but it’s funny every single time it happens.

First impression
So far so good. I'm not too crazy about this series, but it is definitely not bad. The first 10-15 min felt like too much, but after that I think it became better. This series gives me vibes of My School President.It's nice with some funny moments. I definitely want to see more.
You can watch it on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/82761927
Things I liked:
1. Funny moments. A bit cringy at times, but not too bad.
2. Cute moments.
3. Indy and Jia. They are so cute together, their characters are like a perfect fit.
Things I disliked:
1. Too many characters for 8 episodes.
2. Tungtae. He is cheating on his girlfriend(s), going into Lee's room and breaking his stuff (yes, on accident, but he should've never been there in the first place), and then running his mouth about everything regarding Lee and Putter's personal lives without asking them first.
3. Cliche misunderstandings. I understand that while making BLs, a lot of the companies love to add the misunderstandings and conflicts closer to the end to keep it entertaining and whatnot. But I think it's really stupid and really not necessary, especially with the one that they chose this time because it's the most unrealistic and unbelievable thing. The fact that Lee actually believed it is just stupid. That would have never happened.

8th episode review
I made an account on here for the first time just for this one episode... Tell me WHY did I wait for this whole week just for next episode for them to not be together and barely have scenes together??? In my opinion this drama is really great overall and among all ongoing dramas i'm watching this one became my comfort drama. I was so happy that we got sweet high school drama that has more sweetness than breakups and fights, but it gave me a surprise with this episode... I do recommend this drama to everyone, but I wish this episode was made differently. Actors are extremely young but pretty talented so I'd like to ask everyone to support them!Was this review helpful to you?
The age of discovery of pain and happiness
Episode 7 surprised me. I started this series simply enjoying the youthfulness and pettiness of high school, never expecting it to explore the psychology of teenage relationships with this much depth. To me, this has become Putter’s story more than Lee’s. Putter is the one forced to grow up faster because, unlike Lee, he is mostly alone…and when you are alone, you cannot afford to hide behind walls forever.High school is the age of experimentation and discovery. It is like putting your finger into an electrical socket and learning just how badly it can hurt. Lee discovers that friendship can give him the support and confidence to pursue his dreams. But he also discovers the pain of falling in love and possibly losing that friendship in the process. He can retreat to the safe side, away from the fire…but at what price?
Putter has always lived on that safe side. Yet he finally lowered his walls, allowed himself to be vulnerable, and accepted Lee’s love. But was it truly love? In high school, love is understood differently. Teenagers often mistake attention for affection, longing for devotion, and sacrifice for proof of love. Eventually, they learn that feelings are not always returned equally…and that may be one of the most painful lessons of growing up.
Putter helped Lee recover the spark he needed to shine and pursue his dream. But somewhere along the way, Putter began losing his own. Is it really love when loving someone causes you to stop shining? Perhaps Putter’s greatest lesson is not simply the pain of losing Lee…it is discovering that loving oneself may be the greatest love of all. Love should never require one person to become smaller so the other can glow brighter.
Whether Lee and Putter get back together is not the real ending. Their story could go either way because discovering themselves matters more than defining their relationship. This series could have ended with Episode 7, and I could imagine their friendship surviving and growing with them. Perhaps when they are older, after learning how to love without losing themselves, they will find each other again…not to continue where they left off, but to start over
This series had more maturity that I expected, that’s what I enjoyed the most.

Finally some refreshing air
I thought I would slowly grow out from highschool dramas, but I guess here we go again.It's been so cute so far, I've been nonstop smiling to my ears through every episodes. I was a bit afraid it would have too many cringe scenes based on my past experiences of watching school dramas, but there wasn't even one moment where I would cringe out so far. It has the perfect ballance of silliness and romance. Also I wanna mention!! how it's finally a highschool series where the actors are actually highschoolers. It's so refreshing to see. Even though the actors are really young they did a great job portraying the characters. Can't wait to see more of their works

THIS IS A GOOD SERIES (so far)
Something about this series feels so refreshing. It doesn't give you a lot to expect, it just go with the flow. The series contains good aura, which is why it became adorable and so recommendable. I didnt know it would got me so hook up. Through the episode that are out, they got me laughing so bad it hurts my cheeks. One word to describe it is REFRESHING. We have so many on going series right now, which are also good, but this is one is different. They make me forget my problems, they make me forget the reality, the actors are so young that for someone like me who's already on the age of turning 22, i just love hiw they make me feel so young. Honestly i miss these kind of series. I feel like they dont make something like this anymore. I decided to watch because i said maybe it would feel like Lovesick 2024, and I'm not wrong.

Best High school bl drama
Yujeen(Lee) and Yugene(Ter) have genuinely made me want to come back and watch this drama every single week. I went into Class Crush Crisis expecting a cute high-school BL, but I did not expect to become this emotionally invested in these two and their relationship. 🥹There is something about their chemistry that makes their relationship incredibly easy to get attached to. Their happy moments are genuinely adorable, and watching them grow closer made me want to keep watching just to see where their relationship would go. The characters feel young and believable, and I really enjoyed the way their feelings developed throughout the story.
But then… episodes 6 and 7 happened. 😭
I am currently on episode 7 and honestly, my heart is struggling. Watching Yujeen and Yugene go through everything they have in these recent episodes has been painful because by this point I am already so attached to them. I went from smiling at their cute moments to sitting there wondering why the writers decided that my happiness was no longer important. 😂💔
What I appreciate most is that the drama has managed to make me actually care about the characters rather than simply watching because it is a BL. The emotional moments have more impact because you understand how much these relationships mean to them. Even when things become difficult, I still find myself hoping for the best for everyone involved.
I also really love the overall high-school atmosphere. It has the sweetness, awkwardness and emotional chaos that make these types of dramas so enjoyable. The cast has done a great job, and I would honestly love to see more of them in future projects.
And now we have reached the biggest problem: there are only 8 episodes. 😭
How am I supposed to emotionally recover from episodes 6 and 7 and then wrap everything up with ONE episode?! I haven’t even finished episode 8 yet, so I don’t know how everything is going to end, but I am already begging for more.
I really hope we get to see more from this cast and these characters in the future because I am absolutely not ready to let them go.
For now, I’m giving this drama a 10/10 because clearly I have suffered enough to earn that rating. 😂🥹❤️
And seriously… please give us a special episode. At least one. I am begging.

What I liked most was how it balances comedy, friendship, school life, and romance without making everything feel overly serious the friendship feel entertaining to watch because the characters actually have different personalities instead of all feeling the same.The serie also has a youthful energetic atmosphere that makes it easy to keep watching.
Overall Class Crush Crisis is a cute entertaining watch with good chemistry, funny moments and lovable characters. I would definitly recommend if tou want to watch something fun and full of youth energy.

high school series that lost me after episode 5 (watch suggestions)
Overall: I struggled with the entitlement and immaturing (I did give them leeway for being high schoolers) in episode 1. Then things improved only to have it all crash down in episodes 6 and 7. 8 episodes about 1 hour each. Airing on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/82761927 and https://www.oned.net/video/6399147712112 (Thailand only)Content Warning: held against will (by their friends), non con picture taking/sharing/outing/speculation
Watch Suggestion
- read the synopsis
- episode 2 watch 33-43:10, 50-end
- episode 3 watch 10:30-36, 47-end
- episode 4 watch 5:40-7:50, 19-end
- episode 5 watch beginning-24:15, 32:15-end
- skip episode 6
- episode 7 watch 26-28:15
What I Liked
- easy to understand premise
- cute moments
Room For Improvement
- a club of teenage guys with zero oversight was a bit dubious but that whiteboard with the teen girl and the guys figuring out how to get her to be the one guy's girlfriend was gross
- the temper tantrum at not getting his own condo
- the "be a jerk to the person I like" trope
- the point of the club was to find love, so that rule felt homophobic
- multiple kiss interruptions
- shipping stuff was gross but glad there was an apology
- a guy on the toilet while gaming
- 8 episodes was not enough to have 2 full episodes (6 and 7) of that stuff
