Not groundbreaking but a good watch
This series ended up being much more mature than I expected. While it’s still a light and fluffy high school story, what really stood out was how the characters actually communicate with each other. Instead of dragging out misunderstandings forever, most conflicts are talked through, which is honestly refreshing for a BL. The writing feels simple but thoughtful, focusing on everyday teenage problems, insecurities, and first love.
Kim and Mon are absolutely adorable. From the moment Kim falls for Mon, their story is full of sweet and memorable moments. The library scene, Kim searching for the book Mon wanted, and Mon reading the entire Doraemon series because Kim recommended it were incredibly cute. Their stargazing scene and confession were also highlights. Even when they argue, they come back and talk things through instead of letting problems grow. Their relationship feels surprisingly healthy for a high school BL.
Shane and Kit were another great pairing. They’re total opposites: Shane is more serious and reserved, while Kit is playful and carefree. But that contrast works perfectly. Shane helps Kit focus on studying, while Kit teaches Shane how to loosen up and enjoy life. Their chemistry is fun and natural, and their scenes together are both funny and sweet.
Tar and Per were also very enjoyable as the supportive best friends. Their dynamic felt warm and natural, and there were definitely hints that their relationship could become something more in the future. I was disappointed that this storyline wasn’t pursued further, it left a sense of unfinished potential.
The teachers, Nat and Tan, were surprisingly charming and could have been my favorite storyline. At first, their interactions felt awkward, with some friction and forced proximity in shared spaces, but slowly, subtle moments built a quiet, believable connection. The way they navigated their differences , the calm, patient approach of one against the slightly more stubborn, principled personality of the other was both endearing and realistic. Their chemistry was understated but compelling : glances, hesitant gestures, and small acts of consideration carried far more weight than overt romance. I really wish the series had devoted more time to them, as their slow-burn development had the potential to rival the main couples in emotional impact.
Overall, the plot itself is simple and sometimes a bit too safe, but the charm of the characters and the wholesome relationships make it a very enjoyable watch. It’s not a groundbreaking story, but if you want a soft, heartwarming series about first love, friendship, and growing up, this one delivers.
