My School President (2022)

This is just too cute to be true.. ?

I will not write anything crazy or long about this series but all I want say is that.. this is just the right amount of everything in one series. I guess just a little too much in terms of love and sweetness but you we love that 😁

This series made me fell for BL series again. Its been so long since I last watched BL series and this as my coming back BL serie? Just perfect. Zero toxicity, Zero red flags, Zero stressed in this drama tbh. Just pure love and friendship. I love this drama so much. A must watch, indeed.

Ps. if I could give 1000 for music, I would. Really.

The manner in which Tinn and Gun's relationship blossomed was undeniably endearing; it was a slow burn that demanded patience, but the payoff was unquestionably worth the investment of time. Considering that this was the first romantic involvement for both characters, it was delightful to witness their cautious approach to understanding one another. Although I must admit, I found myself anxiously perched on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating their first kiss. The chemistry between the actors was simply astounding, evident in their subtle glances and tender touches. I swear, it was as if I could witness the sparks igniting between Tinn and Gun.

Sweet and funny with lovely characters

Let me just start off by saying that I wasnt sure if I would actually like this series when the trailer first came out bc Im usually not a fan of high school bls. I decided to give it a try after 6 episodes were already aired and I was simply blown away!

The chemistry of Fourth and Gemini was off the charts. The storyline has been done before, yes, but it was still really nice and they made it feel fresh. Too many times we see unnecessary drama and toxic things going on between couples in bls, but this one, literally the most minimal conflict, but when there was conflict, there was COMMUNICATION. Such a wild concept for bls for the characters to actually communicate with eachother and help eachother through struggles they experience. I am also not a fan of super cringy stuff, but they pulled off all of the silly, comedic relief scenes flawlessly with very minimal second hand embarassment and most of the time had me actually laughing rather than cringing.

Overall if you like sweet, light-hearted, and silly dramas with characters that just love eachother unconditionally, def give this one a watch!

I might add more to this later, but thats it for now♡

Such a fluffy BL

Feb. 24, 2023

OMG ANOTHER DRAMA I FINISHED during my one week long break from school.

My School President is such a fluffly bl that contains very generic and cliché troupes. However, what separates them from other show is how they execute everything in such a good manner. I feel like they really put forth effort and incorporate the cliche in a way where it isn't as cringey as Thailand's recent BL releases.

My School President is definitely one of the best BLs in my opinion that has been released for the first quarter of 2023. Tinn and Gunn's relation is an epitome of what a healthy relationship looks like. I love how they do not tolerate miscommunication and try to fixes any problems that arises. Furthermore, they are so mature for their age and I can't say that to other BLs. Like full on shade to those shows I dropped but I can't stand someone being so fking immature with no character development.

Also both main leads are such green flags. I am wishing for what they have cause it honestly makes me so jealous.

ALL IN ALL WATCH MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

Set the right expectations to enjoy an overload of Cuteness (maybe a small dose of cringe)

Subjective Gut Rating - 8.25

For someone like me who is a little older (not necessarily wiser LOL), I need to be in a certain mood to watch “My School President”. It’s pretty obvious the target audience is a lot younger than me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it. I just need to know what to expect and be in the right mood.

Current situation: (when all the ducks are in a row for success):
* I need something light and easy to watch
* I want something fluffy and a lot of romance
* I know this is a high school drama targeting a younger audience
* I expect a lot of comedy and I am OK with Thai comedy - similar to understanding Japanese unique humor to watch dramas adapted from manga and anime
* I expect to see a lot of product placements


Now that the stage is set for me, I can sit back, enjoy and appreciate this highly rated teen drama.


What I Like:
1. Gun aka Fourth - He is so adorable and he knows it. I want to pinch his cheeks and give him a big hug. He’s the star of the show. He made me want to check out “Moonlight Chicken”.
2. Fourth is also the best actor in the whole series among the young kids.
3. Gun and Tinn have good chemistry and are cute together.
4. I like how Tinn supported Gun throughout the drama, despite wanting to be in a relationship right away. He held back, and did what’s best for Gun. I am a sucker for someone who does a lot behind the scenes for their loved one.
5. What a rare sight to have supportive parents. The two mothers love and support their son differently but always have their best interest at heart. Tinn’s dad is hilarious and is an unknowing (or knowing) wingman. I wanted more of him.
6. I love the quiet conversations that Gun and Tinn have throughout the dramas. These moments are so intimate and bring them closer to each other. They seem so mature when some of the more serious topics are shared during these moments.
7. I like most of the funny and supposedly seductive moments (80% of the time).
8. Tiwson is the best wingman out there.


What I have Mixed Feelings:
1. Aside from Gun/Fourth, I find all the other young actors acting to be below average to average.
2. The songs are a mixed bag - there are a few that I really like but a few don’t seem to be catchy enough for me. Best voices to me - Gunn’s mother and Por/Ford. I do appreciate the actors singing the songs themselves.
3. Yak (music club senior) is annoying and has too much screen time for my taste.
4. I guess the music club no boyfriend rule only means no openly announcing to everyone, but secretly dating is ok?
5. Although I appreciate the lack of homophobia among students, it’s still sad that we couldn’t get away from adults having this problem.
6. The side couples and side characters storylines could have been better.
7. I can’t help but still cringe at some of Tinn’s cheesy flirty lines. It’s a little too much and over-the-top when he’s coming on so strong.


Overall, I had a good time watching this drama. It’s so different from the chaste/clean high school C-dramas. The flirting in this drama is at a whole different level. Either you find it funny or you find it too cringey. But through all these comedic moments, there are serious topics explored. I recommend you have the appropriate expectations before watching this. Otherwise, it might not be an enjoyable ride.

Most Musical MUSICAL Series I've seen so far

This series may sound like your typical rom-com series but that's where I was wrong. Well, plot-wise kind of typical but it won't disappoint.

This series is what I wished my highschool life could've been. There are so many lessons from this series and it's not only lessons about love but literally lessons about dreams, career, friendships and the reality that gay people experience.

What I loved the most about this series is the music. Every episode, there is a new song/OST for you to be obsessed with. And it's not just some cringe-ass music that was put there as a filler but literally a whole lot masterpiece that is very connected to the plot of the series.

I recommend this series so much especially if you're looking for a non-stressful series because life's already f**cking you up and you want something that is stress-relieving. This series also have the HEALTHIEST relationship that I've seen so far. (Such as immediately resolving conflict like jealousy and giving assurances when it's definitely needed without begging for it.)

I recently finished watching My School President, and I was very pleased with the lead actors' acting abilities. I was interested in the story throughout the entire series because the plot was so well-written. I appreciate how Germin assists Fourth with his music and academics. The two main characters' chemistry was also apparent, which made watching their scenes together even more fun. For anyone who enjoys a good coming-of-age tale with heartwarming moments, My School President is a must-watch. The dynamic between Fourth and their friends is fantastic, and it's endearing to see how they encourage one another in their individual goals. It's amazing to see how Germin's direction and support helped Fourth develop as a musician, and the song is so catchy.

How to do a BL series set in a high school

This ought to be a model of sorts for how schoolboy BL series should be made. It is lighthearted and cute without being frivolous. It doesn't resort to representing toxic behaviors to "entertain". It may seem like an enemies-to-lovers story at the start, but it soon becomes obvious that there is no real enmity between them.

The charm of many BL series featuring characters of high school age lies in the innocence of the characters, but that's also where it is all too easy to go wrong. Sometimes the characters are too immature, but not here. To be sure, there is a lot of comedy and even silly behavior. However, what Tinn does for Gun is sweet and touching. It's also a good thing that this is revealed in bits throughout the series and not dropped like a bomb at the end of the story because it helps us appreciate the goodness of the character.

But for a BL series to be done right, it is not just the love story or the main characters that counts. The secondary characters matter too. I appreciate the portrayal of Tinn's group of friends as well as Gun's bandmates. In particular, Tinn's endlessly supportive friend, Thiu, is a delight. I also love the contrast between Tinn's and Gun's mothers. Tinn's mother (the school principal) seems strict and cold while Gun's mother is casual, and it's clear which parent may pose an obstacle to the leads' relationship later.

If I have to fault the series for anything, perhaps it would be in the couple of instances where it tries a tad too hard to be more serious, such as with Gun's mother becoming very ill, Tinn's mother suspecting something about their relationship and the homophobia some members of the school community exhibit when Tinn and Gun's relationship is exposed. These parts of the series, which come quite late, are double-edged swords. On the one hand, they present great opportunities to showcase the characters' development. On the other hand, given the predominant lightheartedness of the series, we more or less know how things will turn out so the seriousness doesn't really get that serious. Towards the end of the series, the series does the equivalent of someone blowing a balloon and letting the air out before it gets really big and then repeating the process a few times.

Despite the slight flaws, My School President is probably amongst the very best high school BLs ever made. It has the lighthearted charm of a series like 2gether but without so many of the flaws. It may make one miss one's high school days but it also portrays youthful insecurities quite sensitively--I particularly love the scene where Tinn's mother is about to ask him about his relationship with Gunn and, despite his love for Gun, he is so tense and frightened that his mother feels bad for him decides to change the topic. (Well, she has the answer without him saying it).

I love Gemini and Fourth and wish that they will not turn out just be a one-BL-series pairing.
