HIGH SCHOOL ROMANCE WITH A HEART
My School President follows the story of Tinn, a high school student secretly crushing on Gun, the head of the music club and the lead singer of the band Chinzhilla.
Honestly, I slept on this series at first. I dropped it after just one episode because I’d already watched so many BLs set in high school or university and felt burned out. But when I ran out of new shows to watch, I came back to My School President, lol!
Lesson learned: never judge a series too quickly.
After watching a super dark Japanese BL, I felt like I needed something light and fluffy as a palate cleanser. While the first couple of episodes didn’t hook me right away, things started to click around episode 3 when Tinn and Gun’s bond began to deepen.
At first, I thought it might follow a typical enemies-to-lovers trope (which I love), but even though it doesn’t go that route, it never stopped being entertaining. The characters and their chemistry really carry the story.
I didn’t know who Gemini and Fourth were until I saw them in Moonlight Chicken, where their chemistry was amazing. GMMTV really knows how to pair their actors. Even though this was their first BL series together, GeminiFourth looked incredibly natural, cute, comfortable, and free of any awkward or cringey moments.
Gun’s goal of becoming Tinn’s boyfriend? Too cute. His little flirty daydreams add so much fluff and charm, it seriously brings back memories of having a teenage crush.
The pacing of the show is great, and the romance feels authentic and not forced. Watching Tinn gradually gain the confidence to flirt with Gun was so satisfying.
And let’s talk about Sound and Win (WinnySatang), their chemistry is next level. Their constant bickering adds the perfect amount of spice and fun to the story.
At its core, the heart of My School President is Tinn’s unwavering support for Gun, helping him chase his dreams, putting in effort without expecting anything back. It’s an old-school kind of love story, and it’s genuinely heartwarming.
On the other hand, the humor, especially from Gun’s friends, keeps the vibe light and fun throughout.
This series doesn’t rely on over-the-top drama or drag things out unnecessarily. Whenever a problem comes up, it’s addressed and resolved without feeling forced or overly complicated.
The acting and writing feel super relatable, you can genuinely see real high schoolers in these characters. It’s not just the performances but also the shared moments that feel so honest and familiar.
For me, My School President is one of the best high school romance BLs out there. It nails the fluff, character development, chemistry, and plot. And the OST? Absolute chef’s kiss.
My School President proves you don’t need NC scenes to make a BL amazing, all you need is top-tier chemistry and a story that comes from the heart.
