tbf in the Manhwa, Heesu's obsession was less clear but this one is full throttle, bro is dying to get rid of Jiyu through Seungwon

Whoah what an episode, this is definitely straying far from the source of material. We definitely see some more things that wasnt seen in the manhwa like how obsessed Heesu was towards ChanYoung, in the manhwa we do see it a bit but not this extent. also SeungWon struggles way more in adaptation compared to the manhwa due to how obsessed Heesu is (Although early manhwa Heesu would still abandon Chanyoung). Jiyu is somewhat okay, Chanyoung is somewhat okay. they really need to flesh them out more because its just ep2 part 2 for this two. NGL I am unsure how SeungWon is gonna win over Heesu at this rate but im definitely seated

I find your analysis very interesting so imma give my 2 cents

For ChanYeong I think they're gonna go where the manhwa skip past and we learn a bit more about him. When reading the manhwa you realize that ChanYeong has some sort of issues which they introduced early on but idk I guess they decided to just scrap it and focus on Heesu . This could make ChanYeong more interesting but they also made ChanYeong WAY more flirty in the adaptation which confuses the hell out of me the first time (I mean I kinda like it)

For Jiyu, they definitely rewrote her whole character. We know even less about her than ChanYeong in the manhwa, all we knew was she was Seungwon close friend and some things that are spoilers. For now 2 episodes definitely isn't enough for me to understand her character yet understand than shes not like other girls. I'm fine with ChanYeong with the way he is but they gotta make Jiyu interesting for this to work.

To me they added them as a couple not really to replace the gay couple but to idk try to be mainstream with the whole 2 couple thing without bashing 2 seasons together. It would explain why they are undeveloped. I still have high hopes for this adaptation as Seungwon and Heesu are still lovely

It's still unconfirmed but Seungwon has two moms, so it's technically a lesbian couple. We just don't know if the show kept them or not

First episode done, as someone who waited years and read the original source material many time, im very excited.

Things I like!
- Very obvious that this isn't a straight romance, with the lesbian confession scene and the from the heavily implied crush on Chanyoung to just straight up admitting
- The colour grading is less depressing than the trailer, more fun and vibrant but could be better
- The actors, Heesu and Chanyoung are good casting for now, they definitely changed Heesu's personality a bit but Chanyoung is pretty spot on


Things that can be improved!
- Unclear whether the lesbian parents are still there or not (very vague as either they removed it or made it a single mom situation). I would be so disappointed if they remove them as they are essential in establishing being comfortable in a same sex relationship (but I feel like they're passing that torch to someone else like how we see the sisters being more open in Ep1)
- The plotline, nitpicky but it feels more they adapted the core of Heesu in Class 2 rather than the actual story of like the Thai adaptation of Cherry Magic. It can be a negative or positive as it feels fresh to me but also confusing like all the clubs and difference how Heesu and Seungwon first meet
- Short ah episode, I expected longer episodes from this drama but yet we're still stuck in the less than 1 hour KBL curse, its just a higher budget but not a longer airing time :c
- The straight couple, idk why but I have to trust the scriptwriters with this one.

Every ship is kinda on fire but notable ones that are somewhat okay are Hanmin x Youngjoon and Seungjin x Hwi ( but kinda 1 sided :c).. Honorable mention is Minseon x Myeongkun and Jaesung and Seongmin
