The writers forgot what a Bromance is
Pros:
- Gayer than a lot of BLs I've seen.
- Saint and Shin are in love. Call it bromance if it makes you happy, but these boys are in love. You don't get to have at least one teary, heartfelt confession scene every episode and call this a bromance if you ask me.
- A bunch of hooligans slowly realize they have more in common than they thought and become a great found family.
- Several characters gets problems to work through besides just Saint and Shin. It's a full ensemble cast.
- The acting was on point. A lot of good GMMTV people are in this show. Sky and Nani knock this shit out of the part with the longing looks, the tears, the tight swallows and the righteous fury and all the teasing in between. But the cast is fire. Mark Pakin fucking nailed Chadjen, the twins were very convincing bullies, Mark Jiruntanin convinced me he was about to have a breakdown, Bonnie was wonderful in her expressions of trauma and fear of being replaced. A+ all around.
- Canon lesbian characters.
Cons:
- Who chose the free-to-use music in the background? Sometimes it hits and sometimes you hear the lyrics like "who tf picked this song? what?"
- They dragged out the guys not making up a little too long. Could have been resolved an episode earlier and saved us some frustration.
- The writers put several characters in situations where they should end up in a hospital and then... no one goes to the hospital. We get ...3? hospital scenes, and it should have been like 10.
- The entire school board and admin team fucking sucks. Like that's not how a school system works BAD. That's not how you treat kids BAD. Luckily most of the board has minimal screen time.
- No one kissed. - I know, with how often Saint and Shin stared at each other's mouths or shared an intense and close stare, you'd think it would happen, but no. I know, one lesbian character admits they used to have a crush on another lesbian character and they become friends, but no. No kisses.
