it’s a slog
I thought this series started out well with a bunch of cute kids, but the older the kids got the worse the storytelling got. The middle especially suffers from major pacing issues. Lots of dead time in the story, with repeated montages or just one kid staring blankly into space. The sames songs were used over and over again in every episode well past wearing out their welcome. The boy’s wigs were particularly bad. I appreciated that the series made an effort to have a more realistic tone…but the kissing was so unrealistic. Who kisses like that?Was this review helpful to you?
Wow. One of the best.
This is definitely one of my favorite BL dramas I’ve seen so far. It felt so authentic and truly believable. The writing avoids many of the usual tropes and the acting is top rate. The direction and cinematography are film quality. The bar has been raised high. It brought me back to my own youth. So many feels!Was this review helpful to you?
Workplace ick
This workplace romance came across mainly as creepy. The new employee has an unhealthy obsession with his new manager. The manager is given a role of authority over the new hire, and behaves pretty inappropriately right off the bat. There’s nothing wrong with a workplace romance…unless it plays out like this! Neither of these characters are mature enough to be in a serious relationship. Yikes!I chose this drama because it didn’t take place in a school…but it turned out the characters were just as juvenile (and would have been more sympathetic) as if they were teenagers.
