A total eclipse of the heart
I was pleasantly surprised by this series. I often find high school dramas a bit boring or cringeworthy, so I approach them with some hesitation. However, this one was really good!
I enjoyed the romance and the storyline, which carried a deeper message about fighting against a biased system and struggling under the weight of others' expectations – as well as questioning your entire identity at the prime age of 15 or 16 (lol)
I appreciated that they didn't shy away from showing the darker aspects of giving too much power to young people without the necessary guidance. Issues like bullying, suicide, and violence are often trivialized or glossed over in media that promotes happy endings, so I was pleasantly surprised that GMMTV chose to tackle these topics somewhat seriously.
The chemistry between First and Khaotung was incredible. They conveyed a wide range of emotions beautifully – everything from frustration to vulnerability, and from hate to love. I was hooked on their dynamic from the very start.
Although the plot does become a bit convoluted once the characters get together, and I had to scramble to get back on track, I found it didn’t detract from my experience. Maybe it was because I was so hopeful for a happy ending for these characters.
Overall, I highly recommend this series!
