Perfect For When You Need A Cute No-brainer Watch
I started this out of pure desperation because I was going through withdrawal symptoms from We Are and Your Sky. I just needed something sweet, slightly ridiculous, and with that emotional fluff to fill the void. Normally, I don’t go for dramas with 24 episodes,that’s a commitment, but the way this one split things up into 8-episode arcs per couple worked in their favor. I could mentally clock in and out without burnout.
Not gonna lie, this show gets so childish and so cliché at times, I physically had to pause to recover from the cringe. But weirdly It worked for me. Like, I’d roll my eyes, say “not this again,” and then press play anyway because I was actually enjoying it. It’s light, dumb, dramatic, comforting, all the things I wanted and didn’t want at the same time. A true guilty pleasure, except I don’t even feel that guilty.
💙 Arm & Arc
They’re the classic cliché duo, cold senior × sunshine freshman. Enemies to lovers... kind of. They start off bickering and annoying each other, and next thing you know they’re glued together and being disgustingly clingy.
Honestly, I liked their dating era way more than their chaotic beginnings.
Arc becomes Arm’s peer mentor and pursues Arm while maintaining his cold act. Like, yes he crosses some boundaries, and yes I side-eyed him more than once, but I did appreciate how Arm pushed back and didn’t just melt instantly.
But still it was a sweet story that us entertaining.
Also, the Arm-Po-Sand trio? ICONIC. Dumb, dumber, and dumbest, and I love all three with my entire heart. Their chaotic energy is unmatched. You can separate couples, plotlines, entire timelines,but not that friendship.
And Po?? That’s a man right there. He didn’t even do much but somehow stole every scene.
🐶 Yotha & Gun
Another “emotionally constipated boy falls for a human ray of sunshine” situation. Similar vibes to Arm & Arc but with more emotional repression and more ✨red flags✨.
Gun meets Yotha through Faifa (Gun’s friend, Yotha’s brother), and it spirals from there. Gun gets teased constantly, they literally refer to him as a puppy, and honestly, I felt bad about it until I realized he actually likes it?? Who am I to judge.
Faifa standing up to Yotha after the fight? That scene was so good. Gun being scared and hiding behind Faifa?? I ate that up.
But I really wish Gun didn’t forgive Yotha so fast after That Kiss with Wa. Like HELLO? I needed more groveling. Just a bit more pain.
Their dating era was cute though. Genuinely. Also: I see the vision, but “love cures trauma and turns you into a better person” okay, but why are we still doing that.
(P.S. Gun and Arm are literally the same person in different fonts. Loud, goofy, loyal. Put them in a room and it’s a competition of who can be more golden-retriever.)
🍷 Faifa & Wine
THESE TWO!!!!!!! These soft little creatures own my whole heart.
They’re both afraid of being unlovable in different ways, and the way they find each other??? Ugh. Faifa is your classic people-pleaser, always the funny friend, always brushing off his own feelings, always taking care of everyone but himself. And then there’s Wine, who’s got actual insecurities about being gay, which surprised me considering the rest of this show is basically “everyone’s queer until proven otherwise.”
I loved their first meeting, I loved their awkward phase, and I LOVED how they opened up to each other. Their emotional intimacy hit harder than I expected. I didn’t think I’d get a soft, cautious exploration of queerness here, but I did, and it was wholesome.
Protect them at all costs.
🤍 Side Couples
Pond & Sand – A very cute side thing. Pond being lowkey flirty while Sand remains blissfully oblivious.
Jet & Pun – Token straight couple in this aggressively gay universe. Honestly, they were adorable. It was refreshing to see a het couple that didn’t feel shoehorned in for drama.
Klao & Warit – Okay. At first, I was like: “Do we really need these two?” They were introduced as already-in-a-relationship and just… constantly fighting. Felt toxic, messy, and not in a fun way. But somehow, they grew on me. I don’t know when it happened, but by the time the proposal, I was lowkey cheering. The magic of drama pacing, I guess.
Final Thoughts:
Yes, it’s cliché. Yes, it’s often cringey. Yes, some of the plots feel like they were written by a lovesick 15-year-old.
And yet I liked it.
It gave me the sweet friend-group dynamics, the fluffy romance, the chaotic college vibes, and the emotional crumbs I needed to get through my We Are/Your Sky withdrawal.
Would I recommend it? Yes, if you’re okay with cheesiness, tropes, and occasional eye-rolls in exchange for major feel-good energy.
