Adorable Series about Falling in Love

Boys' Lockdown was my favorite series in 2020 about young people falling in love. Why? Because it reminded me of being young, and liking somebody from afar before ever meeting. This series made me nostalgic for high school, where you would see someone in the hall during passing period, you start to like them and watch them, but are too afraid to approach them. When you finally meet for the first time, it's awkward. The actors conveyed all of the emotions. The paper bag scene was the hot, and there was no physical contact! The drawing Key gave Chen was phenomenal too.

Story 10 - What I enjoyed was how Key and Chen fell for each other from a distance and there wasn't any confusion or anxiety about it. I really liked it when Chen told his sister he was meeting Key, and wasn't asking for permission, showing her that he is serious about Key. I thought that Martin was a great supporting character, especially how he was attending webinars to keep from going nuts during lockdown. There were a few minor dislikes that didn't affect my love for the series: I'm getting tired of the pandemic storyline. Too many gratuitous shirtless scenes. I also didn't care for the girl's volleyball captain not given a name, or being shown.

Acting/Cast 10 - They were all very talented and did a great job. The two male leads smile with their eyes and conveyed their feelings even with masks on. In the scene with the paper bag, you can feel the tension, happiness and excitement.
That takes skill. The support cast is also very talented, especially Teetin and Koloy.

Music 10 - I liked the lightheartedness of the music and score.

Rewatch Value 10 - I will definitely watch this again, especially if I want to feel nostalgic.
