Heesu in class 2 : Straight washed bl of the year??
I think this is my first KBL review of 2025, and straight to the point — I liked it very much. I'm still sure that it's not getting the kind of recognition it deserves. And the show itself is the main reason for that...Don't get confused just because I said it's the "straight-washed BL of 2025" — that's what the majority of people are saying, and I'm proudly in the minority!
Because I enjoyed this show like no one else did!!!
And it's surely one of the best KBLs released this year.
With 10 episodes, we saw our main leads, Heesu and Seung Won, struggling to confess their feelings to their loved ones. They really took 10 episodes to do that...
But that's not a problem. If a slow burn is handled perfectly, I can wait my entire life. And I did it with this one too.
More than that, I felt a strange connection to the characters (the main leads) — like they were literally representing people like me somehow.
They were at least able to confess their feelings by the end of the show... unlike some people who are still hoping for a better day.
Both actors, Ahn Ji Ho and Lee Sang Jun, were so good that they made me love Heesu and Seung Won deeply.
Now, coming to the side of the show that people hated the most... I can't blame them.
I understand how people felt when the main leads were pushed aside by characters who were supposed to be supporting roles.
Yes, I'm talking about why people are calling this the straight-washed BL of the year. Why??
(And listen — our boys being slower than snails has nothing to do with this!!!)
1. A BL show having a straight couple as side characters is not a crime.
But when they get more screen time than the main leads, that's just not fair...
2. Did I enjoy that storyline? Of course I did — but only up to the point where they got into a stable relationship.
What they showed after that was totally unnecessary for me.
Better to say, I was just jealous of them having a good love life and a better career path while my boys were still struggling on the other side...
3. Again, unnecessary scenes interrupting my boys’ crucial moments — especially that tennis scene in episode 9 and the singing part in ep 10.
Huh... Wae?? Wae??? No answer.
And about the sisters and their problems...
Even though people say it was a waste of time, I’d like to consider it as a good relationship advice for my Heesu.
Do I need to say more? No, I'm not going to!!!
So while concluding my review, I just want to say —
I erased all those unwanted things I watched and will remember only my lovely Heesu and Seung Won!
Would I recommend this to others? Of course I would!!!
But you have to keep the things I mentioned above in mind before watching.

Cute and fluffy ?
I'm here to share my very first review on mdl😊This was a show which I was waiting to watch since the announcement and there is a specific reason for that... After My School President, Gmmtv proved that they can still create magic by highschool BL's. And Yes!!!! I like to say that they proved it once again. In a single sentence, it's a really cute and funny show for those who loves light-hearted BL's.
Detailed review:
As a viewer, still a part of me can't accept it as a top series .... During the first half of the series, I kind of believed that this would turn out to be one of my top favourite bls . But after the introduction of the idol thing, it went down. Many parts were not convincing for me ( like the re- audition thing) , because I don't think this kind of luck happen in real life too... And also I felt the ending kind of forced...
Then Coming to characters and acting, Everyone did pretty good according to their characters. But I would like to give a special mention to Keen, for making Moo this much adorable 🥰 Then another special mention to Book's character( Shone) , for entering into my most annoying characters in bl history. But I'm happy that my summoning spell worked by bringing the perfect man for Shone😁 Coming to chemistry, Sea and Keen definitely have a great chemistry but I felt the same thing lacking between the second couple ( maybe only for me)
Then coming to OSTs I can only say that ' not bad ' + requesting Gmmtv to avoid those annoying background sounds 😞
In short, This is a simple, cute and fluffy one time watchable show for me , which made me smile on my boring Sundays 😊( Pretty sure that this won't be everyone's cup of tea)
