A series which makes you question even yourself
People who refuse to watch this just bc it's a bromance are missing out on so much.Who cares if it's romance or not, if the plot is actually very interesting with excellent acting and good writers. What more do you need honestly.
I love how it doesn't let your attention slip, and makes you deeply immerged with the story. You have to keep paying attention to every little detail to understand the story and the characters more.
I think all the actors did an incredible job with this project. Especially Dew. Everytime he appears on the screen I get goosebumps all over my body. I've seen multiple of his works but his acting here is nothing comparable to any of his previous work. He really went all out on this role. You can tell how much effort he put in it. I wish nothing but big success to him and everyone who worked on this project. They truly created something incredible. Can't wait for the remaining episodes to come out. At this point I really have no idea what to believe in who's the killer. This series really messes with your brain really bad.

A cute series on its own, but...
Ever since the pilot trailer came out, I've been really excited for this one. And I really got hooked on it even after just watching the first episode, so much that I searched up the novel and started reading it right away. I got completely in love with the storyThat's why it was a bit dissapointing comparing it to the series, especially after watching not just the first but also the second episode of the series. I think the casting is perfect for this one I wouldn't complain about that one, but it feels like they water the story down a bit.
I'm a bit sad about the scene where Thara, Cheeta and Niran are in the astronomy club sitting on the ground. In the series only Thara rest his head on Niran's shoulders, but in the novel Niran also fall asleep and rest his head on Cheeta's shoulders. It would've been such a cute scene if they follow the novel. I really don't get it why would they change this?? I get it they can't completely follow the novel they must change some things, and I really don't mind when they change or skip something "unimportant" but when they change scenes like these it really gets me thinking what's on the screenplay writers' mind.
And the cafeteria scene in ep2?? It was cute but why is Cheeta going for the hug and not Niran pulling him into the hug. This is what I'm really missing in the series that they try to portray it as if only Cheeta was going for Niran. But in the novel you can tell that Niran is also whipped since day one and he's much bolder. His character still has so much depth in the series so I'm not complaining the script writers still did a good job. It's just that it could be still a bit better
Okay so my final conclusion is if you're thinking about reading the novel right now, DON'T. Don't do it while watching the series. The novel is literally a masterpiece, and the series is also really good on its own but my tip is that you should read the novel after finishing the series. Also please note this is my opinion only after seeing the first 2 episodes. This series definitely has a lot of potential, can't wait to see what the full picture end up being

Finally some refreshing air
I thought I would slowly grow out from highschool dramas, but I guess here we go again.It's been so cute so far, I've been nonstop smiling to my ears through every episodes. I was a bit afraid it would have too many cringe scenes based on my past experiences of watching school dramas, but there wasn't even one moment where I would cringe out so far. It has the perfect ballance of silliness and romance. Also I wanna mention!! how it's finally a highschool series where the actors are actually highschoolers. It's so refreshing to see. Even though the actors are really young they did a great job portraying the characters. Can't wait to see more of their works

Keeps you hooked till the very end
Honestly I went into watching this series without any former knowledge of the actors and the story at all. So I didn't expect too much from it but it was a pleasant surprise.The series keeps you entertained from the very first moment till the very last. It is the perfect combination of bl and thriller. The visual effects, the cinematography and the music are excellent. The acting is great too, but you can definitely tell the differences between some of them. If I have to choose someone I would probably say Pavel's acting is the most standing out, out of all of them.
Altough I really enjoyed watching the whole series there's some things that could've been better.
The plot twist wasn't really that big of a plot twist to me to be honest. I was expecting something different, more unexpected. Also I feel like the last 2-3 episodes could've been made into just 1. I felt kinda frustrated how they wasted so much time and weren't really rushing to catch the killers in time. I liked it tho that there were so much happening even in the last episode
It's definitely not a perfectly executed story, but I think it's definitely worth a watch. I really reccomend this if you watched Khemjira and you're looking for something similar in vibes and quality. You'll definitely get hooked as much as me
