The calling out of toxic fans

It was actually so amazing, I think the way it showed how toxic fan bases can be, and how that can have an effect on celebrities (especially idols) was so well done that I truly hope it'll change how some fans view their 'celebrity crush.' whenever they showed the female fan (I can't remember her name rn, Po's friend) and how frustrated she was when she found out that her bias had a girlfriend was actually so wild, but I'm so glad they showed it from the fans perspective because hopefully it'll give some of these fans a wake up call (especially seeing how many Thai BL fans are also K-pop fans) (and no this doesn't apply just to K-pop fans, I'm sure T-pop and all the other kind of pop fans can be just like this, but it is very prominent in the K-pop community) HOLY YAP SESH OK CONTINUING!
I am honestly loving this new theme of healthy relationships in BLs coming out recently, like I'm watching Your Sky right now (review coming soon) and just seeing these actually healthy relationships being shown in BL seems to be such a rare occurrence, I'm sure there are a lot, but it just seems like the most popular also tend to be toxic, so its nice seeing some health (tbh I do eat up the toxic ones too sometimes)
Anyways, continuing again, I think that the story itself is very good and well done, the whole "bringing the band back together" was like my favorite thing ever, I ate it upppp! also the acting, especially from William and Est was incredible, I truly hope they get to act together in the future because they play off of each other in a very nice way.
anyways, stunning, 10/10, loved it, binged it so hard. Shout out to healthy relationships. and please don't be a toxic fan, lol

So realistic

I cannot stress how realistically this portrayed high school relationships so much better than the majority of BL shows, the drama, the messiness, the selfishness of teenagers making bad decisions for their own gain without thinking about others is genuinely so realistic for high school I'm actually so happy that this was made.
It truly is one of the few shows that I can watch and be like "yeah... this would happen" Because legit the frustration I felt while watching whenever the characters would use each other or just make dumb decisions so that their own life/Love life could be better was like oOoOO so real for high school.
I really liked it! Super realistic! This show was really aesthetically pleasing too, loved all the nails, it got me to start doing my own nails more creatively so that's really fun!

So... I liked it?

I'm gonna try and sum up my opinion in as few words as possible, but as all my reviews go, this'll be a yap sesh.
SO I really liked the beginning, the music is like the cutest thing ever, idk, every time music started playing I got so happy, the OST was good, I liked the visuals, most of the cast, I liked the story.
HOWEVER as most people say, the ending felt VERY rushed, unfortunately, I feel as though they could have maybe added an episode or two to kinda make it better? I always have a hard time with such big time skips, yk? And the fact that JaneRyan didn't contact at all during those 5 years was completely out of character for honestly both of them, Ik Jane said that it was cause if he did contact Ryan he'd immediately wanna come back, but honestly I didn't like the reasoning bcz I didnt like the problem. OH WELL I honestly didn't have as big of an issue with that as I did with the second couple.
The second couple... I love Sea, I just watched Last Twilight, I didn't even realize he was in this until I started it and he appeared and I was like "Oh! Sea! Oh... Sea playing a straight man?" Lol, Not that I have an issue with that, I think he ate the role up as a straight man, It was good, HOWEVER the issue I had with the second couple is that they were SO BORING they reminded me of that high school couple who is so cringe its not even cute, like they're so cringe AND TOXIC that it makes you never want to be in a relationship? Like any joy I got from JaneRyan was immediately put down by couple #2, honestly after she cheated I just started fast forwarding all their scenes because I just have such a difficult time watching the cheating trope, because ok
1. Ew cheaters
and 2. Wdym they got back together?????
Their relationship was toxic before she cheated and low-key got worse after they got back together. Like she literally said in the last episode how much they fight, and she just didn't get with (I think her name was June) Because what... because she took care of her and knew her and loved her? Like this isn't me saying that all relationships in BL or GL shows should be queer and there can't be any straight couples in an LGBTQ+ show, No. What I'm saying is that the Lesbians had a lot more chemistry and a lot healthier relationship than the straight couple that ended up being together, and that's just the gosh darn truth. Honestly I don't think that girl should've ended up with anyone bcz I just cant stand cheating, but also her bf was completely neglecting her, so YES they did NEED to break up, she should've broken up with him in a better way then cheating on him tho OFC, but it just makes me mad that they GOT BACK TOGETHER??? LIKE I CHEERED WHEN THEY BROKE UP BECAUSE YES GET OUT BOTH OF YALL YOU ARE NOT GOOD FOR EACH OTHER! Idk if I watched it wrong or maybe because I watched all their scenes in 2x speed bcz I legit could not, but like I couldn't stand that they got back together! I saw someone comment somewhere that they enjoyed that the characters in this show had flaws and made mistakes and had growth from that and I completely agree, but sometimes couples don't need to get back together when they do bad things to each other, and that's ok, because THAT IS GROWTH!
Look at me giving relationship advice... wow
I am single.
ANYWAYS! I did have another slight issue
Low-key the cheating couple was just the blatant big ol issue I had and anything else I mention is minor compared to it. BUT!
Where is the JaneRyan Screen time? I'm not saying I need to see em smooching and all that jazz 24/7, I'm content with the amount of smooching they did, BUT HELLO? They're the main couple and they got like idk not that much 1 on 1 time it felt like tbh, like I don't really feel like there was a lot of just THEM, but also there was, idk if this makes sense, however, OffGun did an amazing job with the script they were given, and they pulled it off great! Even though I don't think any show will ever compare to my Roman Empire; Not Me. I still think that they did an amazing job in this, I think I really liked the characters they played, they portray emotions rlly well, I just have so much love in my heart for OffGun and all their projects I've seen (I'm about to watch Cooking Crush, and if it sucks I'ma cry because I have not heard good things about it either) all I'm saying is that OffGun put their blood sweat and tears (BTS) into all their projects and no matter how bum ahh the story, plot, script, or anything might be, they pull it off, because I just know very few BL couples would've been able to make this show watchable for me like how OffGun did (I also wished they both talked about themselves a bit more and like we got to see them get to know each other, not just things about your job or future, but like personal family things, like I wouldve liked to have seen Jane meeting Ryans family and friend officially as boyfriend, but its ok!)

Anyways, Moral of the story, this show is pretty good, I binged it in like 2 days, no the ending isn't my favorite but its not the worst thing ever, most of the characters are loveable, OffGun did an amazing job as always, and the music was my fav, I also loved the lil error sound put in randomly HAHAHAHAHHAH

Something that I did really like about this is how realistic it is for the age that the interns are, like especially Ryan just absolutely knowing nothing about anything he wants to do for his future, anything he likes, or is good at, like that is so relatable for that time of life, and I know I've went through that and I'm around his age in the show and I'm still going through that process of deciding my entire future, I think that might also be why I'm not rating it lower, because it is like truth, like I think this show is pretty realistic in the life of interns (I've never been one) And like that age group specifically, I think that all the characters are believable as people in real life, like I can probably see each of these characters being someone I know irl and I think they did a pretty good job with the realism of that, because yeah there's gonna be that cringe, toxic, cheating couple despite how much I cant stand them, I related to Ryan on such a personal level it kinda hurt (Lowkey all I need now is a hot older man to come and marry me) I think I'll forever give an OK show a higher rating if the characters are relatable. They did that really well!

Ok, as you can see I did not succeed in keeping my opinion short. That's it for my ted talk, please return next time I watch a show and write an essay!

It was glorious

I actually really liked this one, I enjoyed watching it, had a great time, so much fun. However, As I've seen a couple of people say, I also wish that Mhok's trauma with his sister's death, and them kinda glazing over his fears with that in the last episodes kinda made me feel bad for him, I wish he could've had a good talk with Day about that and they kinda help each other through that. But honestly other than that I have no complaints! I think the cast did amazing, this was my first JimmySea series and I hope it won't be my last! they all did great! I loved all the side couples, and I think all of their female characters were well written too!

This was amazing

Y'all... I loved this... no spoilers, but I loved this, and I know everyone and their mother loved this (well... this may not be a mom kind of show) but I loved it so much, it ate, I loved it. It just made me super happy. I truly don't think I've ever been this content with the ending and just the everything in a show, like everything about it was really good, and honestly the things that I might have a small issue with are so small and insignificant that they don't even effect the rating I'm giving it, like this might be one of the few 10/10 BL's I've seen (Not Me is 10/10 too tho dw dw) Like its not even that this is my new fav show or that it's even in my top shows I've seen, but it was just so good and complete and made me happy that I just loved it even though its not my all time favorite (idk if that makes sense) ANyways, it was really good 10/10 would recommend, would watch again

Embrace the cringe

I've seen quite a few people saying this show is not worth the watch due to its cringe content and amount of cheesy corny tooth rotting fluff, and when I saw people say those things it kinda made me not sure if I should actually watch it, but I did... and all of those things are exactly what it is. It was cringe, cheesy, corny, and toothrottingly fluffy, but if you go into this show with the mindset that its gonna be those things, and you're just gonna embrace those things, then it is a stunning show. And I loved it so much. Because not only was it all of those things, but it was also one of the healthiest relationships I've ever seen portrayed, because why was I genuinely so thrown off whenever Fah just didn't do it with Rak because bro said he was just so excited, like HELLO?? I was genuinely so surprised, the NC scenes legit were so intimate in a way where the actors just seemed enamored with one another, like it was so deep that it low-key threw me for such a loop. I was so happy with all the side couples, I'm still pissed at Rak's parents, because wdym you're disappointed in him. Anyways
Now, I am not an avid fluff consumer, I do tend to prefer watching the darker shows with more plot and action, so the fact that I enjoyed this means that it's not a genre thing, I'm not saying you won't enjoy this if you don't enjoy fluff, But after a hard days work, and watching a lot of toxic relationships, getting to watch this show was just so happy, yes the relationship is probably a little unrealistic, no couple is this perfect, but I think that it's great that we're getting some over the top healthy relationships out here.
The actors did amazing, I think Teerak's dad acted his butt off in that one scene where he starts cryin about Teerak being gay (pull yourself together man) I didn't like the character, but I think the actor did an amazing job.
If you're going to watch this, just accept that it will be a lil cheesy at times, (a lot of the time) but honestly I loved it for that, it is very unrealistic, no college students do or should act this way, but that's why its fiction y'all!
Anyways, I cant wait to see these two in their upcoming show (Magic Lover) Another show that will probably be very fluffy and I'm gonna eat it up.
Honestly some shows do not do fluff well, but I think this one did it great, I don't quite know what is different about it from other fluff-filled shows, but this one was different and I barely cringed from it.
The End.
