"FRIEND"SHIP!

Yeah this is the single gayest show I´ve ever watched, including actual gay shows. Which I don´t say lightly because I always praise when movies and shows focus on friendships more than romance, highlighting that a platonic friendship can be just as important and emotional as a romantic relationship. High School Frenemy does that aswell, but whatever those two got going on must be a secret third thing. All jokes aside, I really ended up enjoying this drama. I loved the focus on the female friendships as well as the main story. The acting from the cast was stellar, the pacing is good and its technically a well executed drama. I also just liked how this show looked and the camerawork.

I didnt really love the gang plotline, but I understand that it was a tool to move the plot forward. The plot being the power of friendship of course. Something that did kinda bothered me throughout the show was the lack of extras in the shots. Like I´m sure they could afford to pay some university students to be on the set for a few hours. It might not seem like a big deal but it´s noticeable and makes the world feel empty. Also some conflicts where resolved a bit to fast in my opinion.

I also could see this show being something that I rewatch in the future, as it doesnt rely too heavy on plotwist or anything like that. I know some people didnt tune in to this purely because it not an "bl" but I would still recommend to give it a shot!
