They are adorably weird
The popular boy x loner trope will always be my cup of tea. This drama has a bit of a rough start, though, and it takes some getting used to the color grading, Suzuki’s acting, and the pacing. Thankfully, the opening song is so catchy that it immediately brings out the fun and playful flavor of the show.
One of the best things about this drama is how it portrays a group of friends who are so open-minded and treat BL as something perfectly normal. I really appreciate Serizawa and his friends for being such green flags, never discriminating against or making fun of someone for loving BL. No toxic masculinity here, and I absolutely love it! Serizawa even proudly calls himself the King of BL.
Suzuki’s lack of confidence and dense personality, combined with Serizawa’s direct approach and excessive physical affection, makes their dynamic wonderfully weird, in the best possible way. Serizawa is clingy, sneaky, and seemingly willing to do anything to make Suzuki fall for him, but knows how to step out on the boundary if needed. The aquarium date was such a lighthearted and fun way of paying homage to BL stories, and I especially loved seeing Suzuki in full fanboy mode. The kissing scenes could use some improvement, but I’m still satisfied with how the drama highlights these precious moments in their relationship.
In one EP, we get to see Serizawa’s perspective on falling in love with Suzuki during their freshman year. It was adorable and refreshing to watch him admire Suzuki from a distance before gradually gaining the confidence to pursue him, in his own wonderfully weird way. Jealous Serizawa is also incredibly fun. And that summer night when everyone played with sparkles was such a fun and heartwarming scene to watch.
Takeuchi is definitely a side character worth looking out for. His side story in EP09 makes it real that he has a crush on their handsome PE teacher. Unfortunately, his heart gets broken when Teacher Usami publicly proposes to his fiance. Still, one of the most memorable moments in the EP is how everyone from the viewers starts shipping Takeuchi with Iwasaki. Seeing the two grow closer in the following EPs made me so happy and invested. I was also surprised by the chemistry between Takeuchi and Serizawa during that jealousy scene from Suzuki’s perspective.
When Serizawa and Suzuki finally confess their feelings, they do it in the most casual way possible, yet somehow make the moment incredibly cute. Confessing in front of their friends is wholesome. Suzuki becomes even more adorable, while Serizawa reveals another side of himself, a ridiculously hot weirdo in love. I love their signature sitting back hugs! They’re just too cute together.
This drama is a fun and delightful youthful romance featuring two characters who are completely opposites but fit together in the sweetest way. It embraces the familiar seme-and-uke dynamic and classic BL romance moments while delivering a genuinely cute love story.
