Is this Egyptian cotton? What’s the thread count on this bad boy? Shii so soft
First perfect score, kinda nervous. But how am I supposed to give it any less than what it deserves?
Production/Cinematography:
Good LORD the decisions they made in this show cinematography-wise were INSANE. I ate that shit UP. The ballroom scene??? The having Gun pop up in Tinn’s physical space like that??? The colors and lighting? Wow, masterfully done. Just every little thing made this show something more than just a simple high school love story. Production as well was amazing. Everything felt cohesive and right in its place.
Acting:
So good what the heck. Casting was amazing for this. For a story that was mostly lighthearted, the actors also did a great job portraying more serious emotions throughout ever damn scene. I was blown away. I can’t imagine that there is any other pair of people that could play Gun and Tinn than Gemini and Fourth. Bravo to them for their performances. The micro expressions and the over-the-top exaggerated expressions were beautifully acted out. Supporting cast has my heart too. The squads were fantastic and the parents were amazing as well. I mean come on Tao and Lookwa did AMAZING jobs as the mothers of these two guys. All my love to this cast.
Writing:
I can’t find a single fault. I can’t. I mean, the brain cancer thing was quite unrealistic due to a couple reasons but I’ll allow it for the sake of a relatively short drama series. It was just so well done. The writing decisions made in this show are only further proven to be amazing when you look at the source material which I have only heard absolutely terrible things about. Again, I’m blown away.
Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:
Chemistry was off the mf charts, my guy. These actors had me convinced this was a documentary istg. So amazing. This was such a lovely romance, I was immersed in Tinn and Gun’s growing love from start to finish and beyond. Kissing was sooo cute and silly but tender. Side couples were very cute as well, though that girl should have dodged the catfish bullet tbh. Loved the gl cameo they were so cute in the two little scenes they were in. Love this love.
Music/SFX:
Put this on a stage and give these mf a Tony. *Hey, fire* musical. I mean banger after banger, my guy. SFX were fittingly silly when they needed to be, best use of those goofy SFX out of any drama I’ve seen so far. And of course, it wouldn’t be a propper GMMtv show about loud young dudes without that mic peaking at least a couple times which I kind of love for some reason lol.
This was so cute and I did not expect to be thrown back into my memories watching that last episode. Not to be dramatic or anything but this show caused me to look at my Facebook for the first time in years to go through high school albums while listening to songs I listened to back in the day and cry because I didn’t follow my dreams that I’m only now realizing so many people in my life supported me on while looking at likes and comments. I’m definitely gonna be thinking tonight lmao. Never too late to test the waters and start over though. Just BRAVO to everyone involved in this series.
And now, for the highlights from my notes:
- Oooooh a cute intro
- Bro is trying so hard not to catch that vibe and keep them heart eyes in check lol
- Oh and she a baddie too, is there a Mr. Gun’s mom in the way - I mean - in the picture?
- AHHH someone, come quick, they hit the fourth wall
- Oh hey, it’s my favorite Bad Buddy character, Canon MegaTank PIXMA G3200 Wireless All-in-One Printer. Their ink is just so easy to replace, what a heartthrob
- That ballroom dancing scene punched my heart for the K.O. in the first round then continued to dribble it and shoot a buzzer beating 3-pointer which landed in the hands of the quarterback who threw a 65 yard hail mary for the winning touchdown only for the pitcher to pick it up and strike out the last batter to take the World Series title just for the striker to bend that shit like Bekham and send it right under the crossbar to win the World Cup.
- Oh good, I was worried there wouldn’t be a tender makeup removal scene ft my second favorite Bad Buddy character, Nivea Acne Care Micellair Oxygen Boost which is so gentle on sensitive skin, such a little sweetheart
- The PINKIES they’re INTERTWINED call the PRESSSS inform the MASSESS
- Sooo you’re telling me I have a chance? Ms. Gun’s mom, *gets on one knee*
- Baby denser than osmium
- Chinzhilla Baby?? Tinn you are so precious
- Out of curiosity, how exactly does the tune titled Big Ass go?
- Baby truly has a density of 34 g/cm³
- Oh. Oh.
- Club rules? More like club drools, amiright?
- *I know it's crazy, but I can't deny. The way I feel is hard to hide. I've been tryna play it cool with you, boy. But I'm losing mind over you, boy. I’m spellbound by my friend* *How can we go back to being friends when we just shared a bed* *I wanna ruin our friendship. We should be lovers instead* *But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you. You got me wrapped around your finger. Do you have to let it linger?* *At least as deep as the Pacific Ocean. Now I wanna be yours*
- Why in the ever loving heck is a high schooler on Tinder?
- Please leave that girl alone
- Fourth was so cute and Gemini kinda smooth with it in that lil dance number
- Oh parents and their heteronormativity

- Crestfallen, melancholic, despondent, disconsolate, dismayed, desolate leave me to mourn
- Let it all out, little gamer boy
- Lmaoooo @ that single little bandage on mama Gun’s head after a whole ass brain surgery
- Maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, but maybe we shouldn’t always listen to P’Yak
- Mrs.Tinn’s mom really said personal growth

- Everytime I see product placement in a bl drama I’m reminded that this is truly weaponizing the gays
- Lmao my boy Tinn always just kinda there
- “When you fall, get up and run for cover” is kind of terrifying. Why did I fall? Why do I have to run? Why am I looking for cover???
- My handsome boy is so thoughtful with that little music box what a dreamboat
- “We probably have to wait until those dinosaurs go extinct before humans can rule the world” is a 10/10 line that every generation ever has probably said in one way or another
- NOT a TANDEM BICYCLE lmaooo
- I wanna see all the outtakes from that bike scene thooo
