Honestly, if you had told me this was part of a safety class that they did during an early 2000s PE period like they did in the US (but make it gay), I would believe you. Very on brand for that type of content. An overarching simple story surrounding an informational, designed to be catchy but errs into annoying ever so slightly, music video telling you what to do and be wary of in certain situations.
I like the actors. Especially the shy one. He sold his role very well. But I wish things were clarified more about what was going on with the other ML.

Perhaps it's because I'm a woman. Perhaps it's because I'm ace. But regardless, I didn't find it particularly funny (except for the ones that were particularly ridiculous such as "What Actually Happens when gay guys see other gay guys and straight people aren't around"). I could say more, but again - I'm aware that i was not the target audience at all, and it does seem to speak to what I've heard from those who are.
Mine are probably Fluke, Time, and Hong.

This is supposed to be the same character that teases Pharm. The same character who tells Pharm to eat more eggs to make up stamina for the night before. The same character who, when told about kissing under the mistletoe on Christmas keeps a couple together, unhesitatingly asks where can they find mistletoe. In public. The one who usually immediately catches on when Pharm and Dean are together. The one who stumbled to Pharm and Dean's room drunk because he had to protect his friend. 😆 Who lashes out and avoids, rather than cower. Even the like 1-2 scenes where they overlapped with UWMA, they had a different vibe to them. And not just Team, Win too.
Having trauma affect the expression of these traits is fine, from time to time. Instead, it's nearly a constant. It makes it where they're different characters with the same backstory, despite these 2 adaptations taking place more-or-less simultaneously.
It's a good story overall. It's just not WinTeam. And it's why I'm frequently reminding myself to treat it as entirely separate, no matter how many times they use flashbacks or references to UWMA.
