Chanyoung in class 2
Let me start by saying this is my first review ever on mydramalist. I've never felt the need to write one. Infact I've never even had an account but today i created an account and here i am writing a review , this is because of how annoyed i am by this show
Now this is not to stop anyone from watching because its actually a cute watch. Its to prepare your mind not to expect anything great.
As someone who read the manhwa, im extremely annoyed by this series not because it did not meet my expectations but because this was made as a straight drama with queer baiting which i hate the most out of bls. I dont know why i even had expectations when this was being made by korea and i know how homophobic they are. They straight-washed this drama and made it about the side couple instead of the main couple. We had 10 episodes and instead of spending time developing the story of Heesu and Seunwong. They fed us with chanyoung and the girl(sorry i forgot her name) and we were left with crumbs for our actual main couple. I sincerely hope theres a season 2 to this where the main couple is actually explored so that i can understand why season 1 was made this way. I really liked it and enjoyed the slowburn but by ep6 it was beginning to be clear that we had just been qeer-baited to watch another straight drama and its very sad because Heesu and Seungwon have great chemistry. Seungwon's pinning for heesu is one for the books and when it becomes reciprocal you can see also just how much Heesu likes Seungwon too. The show was also quite realistic with the problems it gave high school students. This show in general had so much potential to be more than the producers allowed it to be and thats quite sad. If i was the writer of the actual manhwa i dont think i would have given permission for my book to become a series if they were only going to make such a terrible remake out of it but thats what the bl world means to these producers. Just a quick cash grab. I guess I'm done ranting now and feel better. Anyways if you decide to watch this and see my comment, i hope it atleast prepared you enough for what you're about to watch because the only way to fix this mess is a SEASON 2 and if there's a petition to sign for it, best believe I'll be on the list
