Class Crush Crisis

Class Crush Crisis — Cute, Light, and Easy to Forget

A cute and light school BL, but nothing really special or memorable. The story is simple, the production is good, and thankfully with only eight episodes it never overstays its welcome.

I didn’t mind the lack of kissing scenes at all considering the actors’ ages. A cheek or forehead kiss was more than enough. The accidental “lip kiss” in the finale actually felt more cringe than romantic.

Some of the cast didn’t get enough material, but hopefully this is only the beginning for them. Several have good screen presence and a lot of potential.

Overall, it’s an easy, feel-good watch. You won’t miss much if you skip it, but if you want something cute, harmless and relaxing, it does the job.

watch it but don't expect a masterpiece

class crush crisis is legitimately such a cute show. the stories are all realistic for teens their age and it remains respectful of the actor's actual ages which I can appreciate.

unfortunately i don't think the series was written well enough which is why it fell short. i realize they only had ten episodes to well everyone's story but I feel like they didn't do a well enough job. The last two episodes had so much because they crammed everything into it. There should have emphasized the friendship between Lee and Indy more than they did, the importance of the club and built the relationship between Indy and Jia way before the last three episodes.

I will say from the two pairs I did prefer Indy and Jia just because I could believe the two actually liked each other, the actors have good banter and natural chemistry in their interactions. But i don't hold it against Lee and Putter as they are quite young.

This is genuinely a family-friendly series

It’s a nice opening scene, and I don’t think I’ve seen a series about a group of boys entering a school that’s becoming co-ed for the first time. So, it’s a first time for the school and a first time for the boys, too.

The actors are genuinely funny. They’re still young, so their acting isn’t quite there yet, but I think that’s understandable for a campus-type series. There’s something charming about watching them figure things out as they go.

I hope this really captures what a high school campus feels like nowadays. It’s almost like a window for fans who didn’t get to experience what the new generation’s high school life is like. I just hope other productions don’t start copying this concept right away—give it at least 4–5 years, hahaa. 😭

This is genuinely a family-friendly series, and I found it really comforting to watch.

Hopefully, this will be the last campus series I watch this year. 😂

So fun just too little time seen as a couple

This show was so adorable and I'm so glad I watched it! I loved the characters and their friendship with each other so much! The couples were all so cute too! I think the plot was really simple, and I think it was perfect for this type of show. I wish it was longer! Eight episodes wasn't enough.

I absolutely loved Leeith and Putter so much! I love how complex both of their characters were. Episode one they seem like they're going to be one way and then as the show went on you really saw so many sides to each of them individually and even more so when they started dating. I just loved and adored them both so much. Also, huge shoutout to the stylist for all of Leeith's outfits. He had the coolest style I've ever seen and want to raid his closet right now.
Indy kind of drove me nuts sometimes but I loved seeing him grow closer to Jia and how their relationship developed. Even before Jia when he was going for Faye, it was so cute. I didn't care for Faye though; she was a jerk.
I liked the rest of the friend group a lot, both the girls and the guys; they were all so fun! I feel like even with some of them we didn't see as much as others, they still all had their own personalities and relationships with people and I loved that a lot.

My one complaint is how little we got to see the couples together once they were dating. I know we got a bit more for Leeith and Putter than we did for Indy and Jia, but still I wanted more. I wanted to see more of them all as boyfriends. There was just too much time spent on the breakup. We didn't need two episodes for that. I doubt we will, but I'd love a season two or even a special episode.

So cute and so fun! Highly recommend!

Not for everyone

It's so cute honestly so much....breath of fresh air from episode 1-5 was amazing from 6-7it felt a bit childish mostly 6 I was like what is going on it was too childish so it may be not for you but I still went along with them....I love the second couple they were so cute and how minimum drama they had ....the first couple chemistry was amazing. What I wonder is why not kiss.... even chef kiss they had so many opportunities.....i have seen series where it highschool drama and couples kiss so....it's a bit annoying but honestly I got hooked with every episode I cried when I had to wait an entire week just to watch it.....
Story -6
Acting -5.5 ( they are moments it felt like they were awkward)
Music -7
Overall 6

These kiddos...

A series straight out of a textfic—cute, trendy, Gen-Z, with all its silliness and goofiness. And it's completely pointless trying to point out the illogical things in a show that simply doesn't need to make sense :) because the teenage world is forever an entirely different universe, existing way beyond Earth and its proven rules. Especially the teenage world in movies.

A lighthearted series for those who simply come for entertainment and to feel the butterflies. Strangely enough, even though the school BL trope has been overused at times and the plot points follow familiar paths, CCC still has special bright spots that make me feel it nailed the essential elements of a complete and harmonious school drama. The impulsiveness of youth, living with dreams and passions, the confusion about the future while living fully in the present, along with those heart-fluttering moments—even if they are convoluted, baffling, and downright silly—are still incredibly beautiful and crystal clear.

I honestly think that with a seemingly limited production budget and a somewhat rushed script, the series achieved this level of quality largely thanks to the actors. The chemistry between Leeith and Putter is chef's kiss at a Michelin-star level. In the end, looking past the plot holes, what lingers in my heart are the scenes of these two silly kids. The characters aren't forced into stereotypical molds with predetermined traits; they feel natural and share many facets with real life, albeit in a rather literary way (by that I mean they feel like characters in a clumsily but solidly written school textfic that makes you coo over their cuteness, giggle, and kick your feet in the air while reading). Putter is seriously so adorable that it makes me want to pat his head :) However, as much as I love Putter, I can't deny that Lee is a model central character—more nuanced, well-rounded, and firmly established in his role.

Overall, looking strictly at the characters, each has their own personality, but their portrayal isn't boxed in. I think they did a great job in this regard, partly because the characters are never flat, overly polished, or detached. I definitely wouldn't be able to relate to a show where the students are naive in a textbook way—where the top student is always cold, unapproachable, and perfectly diligent, or the rebel only breaks rules, skips class, and plays games. I've always needed characters with a bit more "humanity" to them.

A huge plus for me while watching is that CCC isn't afraid to create drama. It doesn't try to follow a strict formula where the whole show is just about a purely sweet teenage romance (like the gentle, repetitive approach of some school dramas from G) . Even though some obstacles and plot twists feel a bit contrived—acting more as plot devices and script drivers rather than logical progressions—these elements are still a plus in my book. They allow me to see more layers to a character's psychology and the puppy love between these boys.

Specifically, for the first 5 or 6 episodes, I bet most people enjoyed the cute, enemies-to-lovers puppy romance just like I did. But towards the end, when conflicts and climaxes arise, this kind of love-and-friendship drama can easily confuse viewers. Yet overall, the somewhat goofy resolution and the simultaneously wholesome and awkward relationship between Leeith and Putter still left me smiling. The series doesn't try too hard to force the audience to laugh or cry; in a way, I can sense the characters' psychology and empathize with them, even if I don't fully agree with their thoughts or actions. That natural charm surprised me and earned my praise—especially for the actors, once again.

I probably don't need to say much more about youth, school life, friendship, family, or love. In terms of production, I'd say it's pretty decent. The Gen-Z social media elements are integrated quite well—just enough without being overused. The wholesome gender themes are also harmonious and cute. Everything hits that sweet spot of being lighthearted and adorable, enough to give me butterflies.

Seriously, these kiddos... they are just way too cute :) That's all I can say. I particularly love the "love conquers all" message in this series. Love is positioned as a source of encouragement, support, and motivation—not some grandiose, overarching macro-power, but more like a booster for the strength they already possess (even though I'm usually not a big fan of the love wins all trope).

Sooo cutesy

It's one of those BLs you need to watch after watching, for example, a show with toxic relationship or after a horror movie. So freaking adorable!!! The actors are age accurate to their characters which makes it even better because most shows have 30 year olds playing as 17 year olds so loved that.

In my opinion, this show is exactly like high school but way more happier. Their relationship was complicated due to them being in a friend group that didn't allow them to be together but despite that, they all found a way to be friends, make everyone happy, and love each other again!

I would so recommend as a show to pass the time

Teenage boys being teenage boys

I was a bit scared to watch this series at first, because the actors are pretty young. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing, but I still get PTSD from what they made young actors do back in 2016. But here, no big kisses, no +18 content, they are young actors who are acting accordingly to their age and not playing some oversexualized minors. No kisses, maybe just a little "smooch" if we can call that, but nothing extravagant, and it feels refreshing to see young actors being respected.

Don't expect no smut. It is a cute series, with cute couples and a little bit of "teenage fights". I saw a few people complaining that some reactions from the characters were over the top, but they are fifteen, guys... that is totally a normal reaction to have for a fifteen-year-old teenage boy. I don't think the drama is amazing in itself, but it's still a nice series to watch.

Teenage love will never be actually cringe

And unfortunately it all came to an end, but I'm deeply happy I'm here since the beginning.

I feel pretty seen as a teen, teenage love is confusing, rough, even dramatic. We're just starting our love journey, we learn through heartbreaks, break-ups, even when we mess up with our loved one. I'm far from thinking this series is cringy or "too dramatic".

I really wish we could get a second season, it looks like it's not over. I would love to see them growing up and learning more about themselves through this new relationships (or maybe this is just an excuse to see more of IndyJia).

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. Actually, so
