Class Crush Crisis

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.

A Surprisingly Charming Coming-of-Age Story

I’m surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this one. I struggled with the first episode, but I’m so glad I stuck with it because it gave me one of the most authentic teenage friend groups I’ve seen in a while. It captured the spirit of adolescence so effortlessly, with an infectious energy that kept me engaged. The characters are chaotic and charming, the humor works, and the relationships, both romantic and platonic, feel genuinely heartwarming.

I also appreciate that this story didn’t exist in a BL vacuum. It may sound silly, but it’s refreshing to see a BL where boys and girls not only interact with each other but are actually friends. Is it just me, or do we rarely get mixed friend groups like this? I loved how this circle of friends had such a nice variety, with different types of relationships naturally woven into the story. It felt like a real group of people rather than just characters placed around the main couple.

The OST and the vibrant, colorful sets also deserve a mention, as they perfectly embodied the youthful tone of the story. Since it was a shorter show, it didn’t have the same amount of time to fully explore every character and relationship, but it also avoided dragging out conflicts. That pacing may work better for some viewers than others, but I thought they made the most out of the time they had.

It may not be a very original story, but its execution and believable characters made it a delightful watch that not only amused me but also got me emotionally invested. Short and sweet, but it left a lasting impression. Can’t wait for the second seas... I mean five special episodes. 😂

A typical GMMTV *hust* Change2561 school BL...

What shall I write about this show? It's a typical enemy to lovers tropé, typical school BL with childish things including soundeffects and a feel good vibe. While the second couple had less screentime for me it had the more interesting story. It was also more subtle and not the typical brute force approach.

Production quality was high, script was weak, it's just a run of the mill school BL. "My School President" had the much more elaborate OST and of course the better actors imho, but it's not as bad as many other thai school BLs (Make it Right 2026 comes to mind which will hopefully end soon). At least most of the time, it was not boring. Also I appreciate that this series was shorter with only eight episodes. It had some cute aspects and it was not all the way stupid which is an improvement in my book.

You can watch it and not complain about a cringe-fest, everything is quite mellow and the few dramatic scenes are not over-acted or silly. Everything is positive including the parents, so there is no drama when the sons came out. Everything is just perfect, maybe too perfect.

Dissapointment

This is one of those times when the cute moments just couldn't save bad writing. It was slightly entertaining with some funny moments but unfortunately still pretty much flopped.

You can watch it on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/82761927

Things I liked:
1. Some funny moments.
2. Cute moments.
3. Indy and Jia. I genuinely liked them more than the main couple even with the lack of screen time.

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.
4. The cringe. There are a lot of cringy moments in this series and the usual soundeffects are really not helping.

high school series with highs and lows

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. Yet the writers stuck the landing. 8 episodes about 1 hour each. Aired 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

What I Liked
- easy to understand premise
- cute moments
- supportive friends and family

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

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!

Only if high school BL shenanigans lead you to your Happy Place

Class Crush Crisis goes down easy and provides the kind of escapism fans of the high school BL genre enjoy. Put another way: Class Crush Crisis provides yet another Thai high school BL where very little of substance is actually at stake; yet, to the fraught teenage characters, their whole existence is on the line. This iteration of the set-up is agreeable enough, even if entirely lacking in originality.

CCR is notable for a cast comprised of actual high-school aged students (nearly all making a professional debut). They are game enough, winsome enough, and energetic enough to inject some life into a tepid plot dependent on familiar story beats. Its two original elements: offering a high school student pursuing a side hustle as a fortune-telling medium (he reads Tarot cards) and another who aspires to turn pro in e-sports. (At least, I don’t recall another e-sports playing character, although I don’t watch every series in existence either.) Otherwise, every plot element feels recycled. Our leads take an immediate dislike to one another; we have a student(s) who dream(s) of playing in a band; the student(s) who persuade their parents to let them live in a condo near school; we have the two who dislike each other forced to co-habitate; we have the inevitable thaw between the two who dislike each other; we have gossipy fellow students who feel compelled to pry into every corner of others’ business; we have a self-imposed rule against dating within the friend circle; and we have The Breakup That Neither Party Wants But There is a Stupid Misunderstanding. Naturally, that arrives about two episodes shy of the finale. The breakup, whose aftermath dominates the final three epsiodes, relies on “logic” only teenagers could deem sound. (The discussion boards were awash in fervent, yet pointless, debates about which party bore more responsibility, which suggests the foolishness landed with the target audience.) If all these elements come across as retreads, at least the production team managed to reassemble them into a final product lacking in serious angst. Somehow, Class Crush Crisis is fresher than the sum of its recycled parts warrants.

The finale includes coming out scenes where the Rocker and e-sports player confess to their parents both their unorthodox career aspirations and their romantic “truth.” The moment feels quite inauthentic, but in true BL finale fashion, only parental support and love flows from these revelations. (It was the finale, after all. Too late to introduce complications!) Everything then wraps up smoothly and easily. Indeed, “smooth and easy” provides an innocuous requiem for this innocuous series.

Not my favorite

*criticism is about plot, not actors*
This drama was mostly boring and filled with a lot of teen drama that is, admittedly, outside my demographic so it made it really hard to enjoy.

I also think that some plot points happened that didn't really have a good enough reason to happen just so another plot point could take place. The 'no dating within the group/club' rule felt a little out of place. Even when assigning reason to it, it just felt more like a plot device to make their relationship secret. And that too felt out of place as well. All of that so the reveal of Ter's secret (all ready over it) crush on Indy could be used as a break up tool.

And don't get me started on the crush reveal, which, in any other drama would have been a bullying scene.

I will say the last episode was very well done overall. My main frustration comes from the fact I wish most of the drama was like that of the last episode instead of being kind of a mess.

Sweet, Innocent, & A Complete Fantasy

I adored this series. It is cute, simple, sweet, and innocent. I loved that they were young teens literally playing the parts of, well, young teens! What we see is the naiveness of their innocence rule over their decision making skills and impulsiveness coupled with heightened testosterone levels rule over their behavior. The flaw, however, is the fact that the direction of the story gentrified them too much. There was little of the angst of being a teenager. In other words, they sanitized the story too much. The entirety of this story is an idealized version of a fantasy. Every teenage boy dreams of being able to live on his own at a young age, away from his parents. Everything about this story is quintessential. I did appreciate the fact that the performers were all quite young. But in reality, you took away their youth and made them caricatures. They did not seem real to me. They seemed made up living in a pretend world. The organic aspects of just being a teenage boy are merely glossed over. Unquestionably, this is an entertaining, cute, bromance of puppy-love unions that is sweet and adorable. If only just a little bit of reality would have been thrown in to make this series just a little bit more relatable to the real world.

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.

So fluffy and so adorb

Sep 11, 2026

Leeith and Putter definitely embodies that puppy love in the adolescents. I truly think that these types of BLs really are just so cute and lovely. It is a formulaic and basic plotlines but it does deliver well especially with the chemistry of the casts.

It is not like a head turner BL, however, I did enjoy waiting for new episodes to drop every fridays. It truly has that pull on me and to many viewers too. Leeith and Putter's actors have strong chemistry and potential to be a strong BL tandem. Given this, I hope to see more projects with them starring as in the future!

Quite disappointing

This started out super cute. I was hooked after only one episode and was so excited for what was to come. everything about it was cute, refreshing and just nice, however after that misunderstanding about between Lee and Putter things just kept getting worse and more annoying it was like they were just adding stuff that didn’t even matter just to make the series longer which to be honest really annoyed and disappointed me. This one had potential but they couldn’t do it justice imo but it was still a cute watch all the actors and actresses were super adorable too it’s nice to see actual young people/ teens act in school series
