My School President (2022)

The new benchmark for BL series

I don't know who's the same as me but when GMMTV first revealed that there will be a school bl series this year, honestly speaking, I wasn't very interested because there has been soooo many school bl series, including overseas bl series too. But I decide to watch it because I'm a big fan of GMMTV and their artists, but I wasn't sure at first because to me Gemini and Gun were new actors, and I was a little reluctant to watch it.
But after watching F4 Thailand and I saw Gun in there as Gorya's brother, I was like "he's acting is pretty good and natural".

So I watched it because
1. I saw Gun's acting in F4 Thailand and felt interested
2. Gemini was quite good looking
3. The other actors were all supporting leads in other series and I like them alot

When I started watching it, ep 1, holy crap, it hit me so badly that the series was freaking good. Like it has alot of tiny actions that shows how much Tinn actually likes Gun, like when he started observing the changes he had over the holidays. And how they started become rivals because Gun felt threatened. But I think the main eye-catching point of the whole entire show is the humour and the songs.

I wasn't expecting that many songs coming from a series, especially a bl series. It was literally like High School Musical, but Bl Version. And not gonna lie, Fourth, Gemini, Ford and Satang has very beautiful voices, like why is GMMTV hiding them, show them out to everyone man. I personally can't pick a favorite song from the show itself, because every single one of them is a masterpiece, both cover and their own songs.

The story also has a very good flow, not too rushed or too slow. And they not only mainly focus on the story of the couples, but the one thing I love about the story plot is how they included friendship and relationship with their families. Like it's so relatable to any youth nowadays, the pressure and stress we all experience, especially for people who are coming out (in the last ep), it shows how there are people who accepts but also people who do not understand. It's very relatable to real life context, which makes the whole show even more enjoyable.

The story on their friendship is very genuine and nice, we can also see how good their chemistry is with each other. I personally like the scene where they were contemplating between their dreams and studies (their future) because that's a problem that I have too, but I love how they actually chose dreams because they're not just a club of members, but they are literally family.

Their relationship with their families also says alot. The scene where Gun wanted to give up on his dreams just to give his mom a better life, how he didn't want to disappoint his dad and how he told his mom to not leave him alot really just made me cried so badly, like we can literally see how much he treasures his family and he's relationship with his mom are like besties, his mom supports everything her son does. Tinn with his parents are also very cute, initially I felt that Tinn's mom was controlling her son, but after completing the whole show, we can see that it was just her motherly love, she wants best for her son, and when she learnt that her son likes Tinn, although she wasn't expecting it, but what made me love her was the fact that she was willing to learn and accept it.

Lastly, the cute relationship between Tinn and Gun, although every bl series has very cute couples, but TinnGun was especially cute. It's the way how Tinn doesn't want anything in return but only wants to help his boy.

Simple Typical School BL

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Student): Gun
T (Student): Tinn

- Beginning: B and T are both students at the same school. B is member of a band and T is school president. B’s band will have to disband if it doesn’t contribute to the school unless he can get T to agree for them to stay. B seems to think that T doesn’t like him very much and won’t help him keep his club, but T actually has a crush on B. But B is oblivious to a lot of things so doesn’t realize when T is helping him. But in order to get his club authorized, B perseveres, appearing more and more in T’s vicinity.

- Middle: Still pretending that he doesn’t feel a thing for B, T continues to help B, explaining to B he’s only helping him win an important music competition is because of the school’s reputation. He even offers to tutor him when B asks him. And the more time they spend together, an attraction starts to develop and B starts to feel something for T as well. From that point onwards, we start feeling some tension between the two. After a while, T is unable to pretend he feels nothing and finally confesses to B who says he feels the same way. But there is an issue that B can’t date before the competition is over.

- End: After the competition, they start to date officially. They wanted to keep it on the down low but when a photo of them kissing is uploaded, they become known school wide. B is bothered when not everyone reacts positively to it but T reassures him that they will always be together. The series ends with them coming out to T’s parents and having their first kiss.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors look really good together because both of them are really good looking.
- I actually like how awkward T is at the beginning because he doesn’t want his crush to show but he doesn’t know how to interact with B. And he can’t confess because he knows B can’t date until he wins that music competition. So he invents a reason for him to help them.
- I actually like the tutor trope even if it’s super cliche. B has to pass his exams to continue to do his music so T agrees to tutor him.
- I like the concept of T acting like a love sick idiot when he thinks of B and immediately turning emotionless when B enters the room (he also acts as if B was bothering him when he’s really happy about B’s presence). If only T was better at acting like a love sick idiot. His acting only makes it look weird and a little cringey.
- I absolutely loved how T would carefully touch B’s hand, afraid B would reject him. It’s super romantic.
- The comfort thing is also a cliche but I love how it got them to hug.
- I love the subtle signs of affection such as holding hands in secret because they cant really be obvious about it.
- I love how it’s relatively angst free.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- The acting is truly horrible at times. Reactions and expressions of anger or joy are exaggerated and unnatural. Sometimes the acting is too plain, emotionless and other times way too exaggerated, borderline cringey.
- This is a typical school romance, meaning things happen to serve the plot and not because it makes sense. For example, what normal school has ball dancing class as a class you have to take? It’s only there so the leads can dance together.
- The romance is really slow burn meaning things progress really slowly. In the beginning episodes, all we know is that T has a crush on B but we don’t see any signs of that except for a smile or two.
- I didn’t like the singing or the songs, but some people liked it so this is mostly a “me” thing.
- The whole “T wants to confess to B that he’s the one he likes but every time he tries to confess, he gets interrupted, leaving B to believe T likes someone else” plot is simply cliche and lazy writing. It serves no purpose other than extend the run time.
- The show spends way too much time showing random high school stuff like gym class or eating lunch. It makes the show seems longer then it needs to be because those scenes are really boring.
- This show is really tame when it comes to intimate touches, because of the no dating rule, B and T don’t even kiss even after confessing their feelings. But they do flirt which is cute. They haven’t kissed and B’s mother already know about them.
- There are a lot of cliche tropes in this show so don’t expect any memorable moments or plot twists.

**Conclusion**
This is an okay watch that I won’t revisit.

This is how you do a HS BL drama!!!!!

It's the little things that matter, and this series demonstrated that.
In MSP, not everything goes as planned: There are a great deal of downs. MSP addresses issues like failure, homophobia, fear of first love. MSP has distinguished itself from other dramas as viewers are always left with the expectation of something new and misunderstanding or event are dealt within the episode itself, without letting it drag to the next episode.
How could anyone not fall in love with all the comedy, romance, and heart-fluttering moments they have together? Because love is a force that won't let you fall, this series serves as a definition of love and demonstrates how it inspires and heals.
You can feel Tinn & Gun chemistry through the screen. They would be the one flirting/ interacting/ having a moment, but I would be the one blushing, squealing, banging my hands somewhere, gripping my bedsheets, covering my face/mouth, and cheering for them. I am honestly in love with their love. They are extremely cute; I tell you that's not the only factor that makes it good.
Only "BUTTERFLIES" and my inability to manage my emotions (all the delight, anxiousness, and excitement I felt while watching this series). I was completely absorbed in the universe of MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT because of their chemistry, which feels so real and sincere. They are very addicted to flirting and Tinn is great at it; I love it whenever he smiles from ear to ear while gazing at his crush. There are several instances in which Tinn is observed fighting to contain his smile when he is next to Gun. No other actor could possibly play anyone in this series, in my opinion (BEST CAST).
I'M GONNA MISS: Those night phone calls, their warm consoling hugs, comforting each other, their locking of the pinky fingers, holding hands, no eye contact (cause they were too shy to look straight into each other's eyes), them openly flirting in front of their friends, that foolishly in love smile....
In addition to Gun and Tinn, their families and friends play a significant role in the narrative. It's really endearing to see the boys' relationships with their families and how differently their mothers handle raising their sons. There are a few unexpectedly cute side couples too. At the end of the day, MSP is a show about love and all its different forms.
The production teams worked very hard on this. Even the supporting cast members have been individually designed characters. As far as chemistry goes, Gemini and Fourth are a match made in heaven.
I'm eager to support them as they develop and are given a variety of worthwhile assignments to sharpen and display their talents.

Took me completely by surprise

Listen, if you also belong to those that think "High School? Man, I'm too old for that" let me tell you: You will never be too old for this serotonin boost.
At first, I didn't wanna watch it. The trailer didn't capture my interest, it looked like a cute silly HS romance, like, nice and all, but not what I'm looking for. Then I kept seeing people talking about it and was in the mood for something light and sweet and man I do not regret it a single second! This series made me smile like crazy every Friday, literally my support gays!

TinnGun are the sweetest, literally smiling as I'm writing all of this. They are so cute and so funny, Tinn with his daydreaming never failed to make me laugh. GeminiFourth are terrific actors and they are only 18! It's insane how well they work together.
The other actors were fine, too. Especially the parents were great. Their characters are all supportive to each other, Chinzhilla friendship is lovely! They are sometimes really dumb, but you must understand - they are dumb /together/!

The storyline is nothing too crazy, but it excels at what it's doing. Of course, at some points it's a little bit predictable, but overall that's fine. I don't think anyone starts MSP and expects crazy plot twists everywhere. The last episode had a few moments I felt like could have been resolved better, but nothing too crazy. The plot has its more serious moments, but the writing never fails to feel balanced and thouroughly thought through.

The music, though! Fire! Ford's "Come Closer" is my favourite Thai BL OST EVER so far, play it at my goddamn wedding!

If you are looking for something to make you feel better, to make you giggle like crazy and laugh out loud, this is for you!

BEST HIGHSCHOOL BL

1 episode left and everything is so good. The acting of both Gemini and Fourth are very good. i love the plot because it has no the third person come to break the relationship. the way they communicate with each other is better than most university BL. very lighthearted with some heart-wrenching moments that makes you appreciate the story more. the acting of the supporting character is a bit low (i don't want to mention anyone hjsdh) but it is manageable to watch. the song in every episode is superior. AND RETURN OF 'THIS CITY'???? one of my fav thai song and Gemini sang it???? how i can rate it lower. Fourth is so young yet so talented depicting his emotion in his eyes and smile.

So wholesome and sweet it almost sent me into a diabetic coma

Aww hell, they really got me with this one. I wasn't expecting to like this show as much as I did but they won me over alright.
Plot-wise My School President doesn't really bring anything new to the table but through a combination of good writing, genuinely clever humour, and the occasional trope subversion it manages to make the story feel fresh and entertaining.
The young cast all deliver incredibly solid performances and the characters are all deeply charming.
Not only are the relationships depicted (romantic, platonic, or otherwise) wonderfully healthy and realistic - an absolute highlight for me personally are Tinn and Gun's respective relationships with their parents - the show also gains an edge by focusing on the more difficult aspects of teenage life as well as just on straight-forward fluff.
It explores how hard growing up can be, the difficulties of trying to find out who you are and what you want to do with your life, grief, failure, and the realities of being a young queer person in today's society.
It addresses all these topics with great care and and insight without ever getting too heavy or preachy about it.

I also really appreciate how uncompromisingly the story allows its main characters to take their relationship at their own pace. What starts off as a fun spin on the classic nerd/jock trope quickly develops into a slowly yet steadily building bond filled with mutual respect and fondness which the show uses to analyse the often blurry lines between platonic and romantic love as well as the differences between physical and emotional intimacy.
This all works together to paint an achingly sweet yet grounded picture of first love that had me, a grown ass adult, grinning like a fool much more often than I'd care to admit.

The show isn't perfect of course, it does have its flaws, but most of what I disliked about it was entirely down to personal taste. The sound track, for instance, did not work for me at all and the auto-tune hurt my soul a little bit, but a lot of people seem to genuinely love and appreciate this series for its music so you might really enjoy it as well.
It also has to be said that I am clearly not the target audience for this show, it's aimed at a younger demographic, so it's honestly a very pleasant surprise just how much there is to enjoy and love about the show for someone like me as well.

In short, MSP is a show that I would have loved as a tiny high-school baby gay, but which is still highly enjoyable even as an adult queer person. If you're in a the market for a well-written, deeply wholesome high-school rom-com with a good dash of realism as well as clever jokes, then this one is for you.
And if you're an old cynic who needs their cold heart dusted off a little bit, then this show might be just what you need as well.

MASTERPEICE

I had finished this drama like a year ago but recently I am in a spree of updating mydramalist, so here is a review on this.

Tinn (The School President) is such a lovely boy, always following rules, good in studies and what not, his mom is legit school principal. One thing he did was falling for a music enthusiast/singer/guitarist Gun, the member of school music club and band called Chinzalla.

The twist was they apart being in same sex relationship is that a person in music club cannot date unless they win that one contest so Tinn does everything in his power to make Gun and his bandmate path easier so they can easily practice and go into that competition.

Their easy flirting, the way they understand each other, the way they respect their respective and each other parents is everything to me. Tinn and Gun will be forever engraved in my heart.

The side characters are perfect too, Winny and Satang stole my heart here and they still continue to do so in recent projects tooo......

So even it is a school drama with such cliche dialouges and plot, i will watch it anytime, the edits hits different too.

Delightful High School BL

My School President is a story about the student body president Tinn who has a secret crush on Gun, the head of the music club and lead singer of the band Chinzhilla.

I absolutely adore this drama. It’s cute and fluffy, but at the same time, it addresses more serious topics such as academic pressure, family dynamics, sexuality, and the struggle between following your ambitions and compromising with reality.
Fourth and Gemini do a fantastic job portraying their respective characters. Their acting is heartfelt and they capture the sincerity of the characters perfectly. Tinn’s and Gun’s relationship evolved slowly and naturally, making their love feel genuine. I also appreciate the important role of supporting actors and how their individual stories affected the main plot.

Music is something I don’t notice in Thai dramas however the OST for this drama was amazing. The title track “You Got Ma Back” and side track “Come Closer” conveyed playful and romantic emotions enhancing my engagement with the plot.

Overall, My School President is a delightful high school drama, with cute romance, great character growth, and wonderful relationship development. Officially, it's one of my favorite BLs so far.
