Interesting but confusing

This BL has had some attention on social media and I was hesitant to start it myself because I felt like something would be off about the series. Ultimately I decided to watch it and honestly, every episode was confusing to me. Why is the school so strict on rules? Why is Ayan treated by Akk like the culprit? Why does Ayan even fall for Akk? The relationship makes no sense for me because it is based on Ayan teasing Akk and gradually getting him interested. This premise for a relationship does not make sense at all in real life. Maybe if they knew each other for longer but Ayan just transferred to the school and is flirting with a guy that treats him like shit.

Anyways besides the main couple, the side couple is really cute and their growth is nice to watch. This couple actually makes sense as to why they fall for each other, and they care for each other. Akk and Ayan do not care for each other so their jump to being together falls flat for me. Every episode was very similar, the rebels organize something, theyre stopped by the school and the prefects and Ayan flirts with Akk. There was some movement and the twist at the end was interesting. The ending was decent with the couples staying together and the school becoming less strict.

The acting and the cast is what saves this drama as much as it can be saved. The acting near the end with the more serious stuff and the confrontation was shaky but I stopped caring as I just fastforwared the last few episodes. The problem with this BL is really only the story and the pacing. I would not recommend this BL, just watching some of the BL cuts would be enough. The main couple feels like a couple that would be switched around another time. They do not have the chemistry needed to carry this drama.
