Very educative but fun serie with a lot of representation.
I originally wasn't planning on watching this. I mostly watch bl and I'm definitely not a straight guy. I'm never really comfortable with NC scene's and even in Bl I prefer to skip them. I decided to finally give this a try after watching 'Let's talk about Chu' and I have to be honest, I was expecting something familiar. Honestly, I am surprised about this series with Gmmtv. I really regret not watching this earlier!!
Ok a small rant about Gmmtv and my surprise on them making this series. These days (talking 2026) whenever gmmtv makes a new series it's either straight, bromance or gay. In their straight and bromance series there is barely any representation and it irritates me quite a bit. This is also the reason I often refuse to watch their bromance or straight series. This is of course just an opinion and please do not come at me lmao. I don't necessarily find this extremely bothering but should be taken in consideration, the unrealistic Nc scene's and I'm talking zero mentions on STD or protection. And consent... uh yeah barely there. Anyways my point is that Gmmtv rarely shows these kind of things even though it like extremely important.
Let's get through the point of representation first. They really tried to include as much as possible! Lesbians who are trying to get a kid, Nonbinary representation, the gays who are always complicated, the open relationship trans girl x cis guy, the 2 with the most random kinks ever and then the main character. And I didn't even include all the couples. I love the representation so much!! It's not just another 'straight' series about sex but it's actually educative about other type of relationships aswell. "You have to learn about this no matter what your orientation is" this made my day thank you.
At first I was like "I love Nim she is such a girl boss. I love her and Molly!!" but later on in the series I started disliking Molly a lot. I'm talking about the scene where they kissed with Alex. After Alex got into the future, when I saw Nim with Bew I really liked them. Bew genuinely seemed so sweet towards Nim but yeah even that... it all backfired. When I saw how Molly became later on in the series I was like YESS. I already saw chemistry between them and Nim again, but Nim has Bew. I like their ending a lottt and Nim did not deserve that. I loved how Molly is nonbinary and a bit disappointed in the lack of non binary dysphoria but at least they included one scene.
I loved Jo and Army. They had a pretty alright relationship even though they fought a few times. What I liked about them was that both had very reasonable reasons for their actions. Jo was obviously very closeted and I totally get him. He is a soccer coach so what can you expect. I really appreciated the adding of him being a coach and SPECIFICALLY soccer. I don't think I'm the only gay guy but I feel like soccer is one of the least accepting sports out there to play. The audience is especially the biggest problem. Till this day they're still singing homophobic songs in the stadiums. Anyways, I fucking get Jo and I also feel bad for Army at the same time. Army wasn't that closeted and he did seem to want to out his relationship.
Then Rose and Jedi. I didn't really realise Rose was trans at all until episode 10. Rose is fucking stunning and I loved her through the whole show. I was really surprised when I found out that she's a makeup artist and not a small one either like wdym Best Jira (Rose's actress) has done Lisa's make-up from BP?! Anyways, episode 10 really did a lot to me. Imagen getting proposed to and then immediately having transphobic comments... It should be a happy moment fuck them. I loved how everyone stood up for them. Jedi was also super nice in this series and I loved the moment he told Rose he wanted to end their open relationship it was actually so cute and adorable.
I'm trying to write about every couple hahhah. I forgot who but there was a character that got like assaulted, right? Until fucking episode 12 I THOUGHT TONY WAS THE ONE WHO DID IT. I kept hating his face and whatever but then I realised I totally got the wrong guy. Anyways, Joong had a lot of chemistry with multiple people and I quite liked it because I kept wondering who he'd end up with.
Okay.. then See-ew and Liu. They were quite messy to be honest I was kinda forcing myself to be ok with their 'k1nk'. It just felt extremely weird and yeah, pup play isn't exactly the most common thing but I still don't wanna shame See-ew for liking it. Liu having foot k1nk was also a part where I had a side eye. At least they actually included it also being a thing. I actually really like See-ew but when Alex was his older self it kinda felt like the friendship was kinda like... gone. To be honest I feel like his younger self was better friends with See-ew but in the future just Army.
I'm so surprised about Phuwin's role as Ice in this series. I'm quite used to Phuwin playing the softer roles, aside from we are. I kinda like this side of him too. His hair is making me wheeze. I'm not writing this because I'm a Narawin but to my opinion there's like zero chemistry between him and Kim no hate. During the series it just felt like they had completely different goals. Not just the parenting part but just in general.
The girls in this show were such great visuals. The intro feels so incredibly nostalgic. Genuinely couldn't skip the intro because of the adorable clips playing and the song (sweet but naughty) IS SO PEAK. I used to listen to it often without knowing it came from this series. I absolutely loveee the colour pallets they used and the styling is amazing. (Aside from Phuwins hair hahahaha).
I already had a feeling something felt familiar, especially the fights and breakups and everything. Turns out this was directed by Ninew who also directed Only Friends and I have to say it both has the same vibe hahhaha. Ninew as the director and P'aof as the producer?? Such a good combo damn. This is really worth it!
