Disappointed with the script
I liked this drama but unfortunately it didn’t reach my expectation the reason is simple why couldn’t main leads have more scenes together ? I mean it was all about the girl story and I feel they didn’t cover the whole story I had lot of expectation on actors because I love them from another series they are good at acting but scripts didn’t go well with them, I m fan of Korean series and bl is coming too good now a days but this one was bit down compare to other series but I hope in season 2 they should make story on main leads rather than side character story all the best to the teamWas this review helpful to you?

…
Yes i understand that it was a short BL and korean BLs are known to not be as good as thai BLs. But this show felt so pointless .. like we didn’t see any kissing or anything that you normally see is basically any romance show. It was obvious that Ro A liked Ji Woo and then when Ji Woo finally confessed his feelings, he wanted to act like he never liked him. But the whole story with the girl being stalked and them helping her out was just not needed. Like it just seemed like the MLs were focused around that one girl and we didn’t rly get to see much of the “feelings” that the two guys were talking about. Idk I just felt like “ok yeah this is happening but why did We have to see it?”Was this review helpful to you?

Its an enjoyable short series
This was a short and enjoyable series. At first, it went smoothly and nice but towards the last episode, it has that cliche of running away from a confession. (had a happy ending)To give my honest opinion of this story, I think it was a good one that is worthy of watching.
The acting was amazing, I totally forgot this was a series, the chemistry is also good. The story is amazing but in the end, I feel like it was rushed. Nevertheless, this series was still beautifully written. The casts, producers, director, etc. did a great job on this series.

fofo mas nada além
recentemente eu terminei tell me that you love me e por conta do hyun jun fiquei com vontade de rever love class e foi algo legal de se fazer, por ser algo que se conclui em 2 horas achei que valeu a pena.a história é muito rápida mas com o tempo não daria pra se esperar muito. é interessante de se acompanhar mas não é um romance que te faz vibrar, a história que acontece para além do romance é mais explorada. esse esquema de séries curtas que poderiam ser claramente um filme me irrita mas não tem muito o que fazer.

Not that good but bad either.
The series is framed by a class about love, wherein the students in the class are paired off in heterosexual couples to do a bunch of love experiments. Two girls pair up, because one is in love with the professor, and the other has a stalker, so she's terrified of all men (except Jiwoo, who's too tiny to be scary). and this is really the basis of the whole series.For me it kind of goes down hill after you get the whole idea of what is likely to happen and where exactly we going to end up. This is a series that could have worked if it were twice as long. It simply had too much going on, a lot of it totally unnecessary, to cover in six brief episodes. Almost the entire story is about Jiwoo pursuing Yuna and dealing with her stalker. There almost no BL whatsoever. but to me, it just felt unrealistic and added just to create a problem between the two lovers.
In general, this is a cute but short show, that doesn't focus too much on the queer side, but it makes it a little bit different from the rest.
Overall Again a short drama which can be done is one sitting.

Incredible story
I really loved and I'm surprised at some of the reviews. It's a really nice story about falling in love. It also shows that Korea is not there yet regarding same sex relationship (well, basically like the entire world) and it puts their possible dating in the spotlight. You might be surprised at Roa's reaction, but unless you've been there, you won't get it, because sometimes it's just easier to be straight and from Roa's perspective if you think about it, you'll understand.The show also highlights how other's perception of dating influences non straight people. It's a BL mixed with some real shit, and honestly I loved it.

Simple & sweet !!
Love Class is one of those shows that’s just easy to watch. A lot of reviews are saying it’s super mediocre, but personally I think it’s good for what it is. The plot was lighthearted and not too complex. Of course there were some more serious topics brought up like stalking & potential outing, which I thought brought some reality to the show. As for the relationships between characters, Love Class gave us different dynamics. To me all the characters were likable making it easy to relate to them. Wether it be unrequited love or falling for someone who is kind to you or even running from your own feelings, I think there’s something we can relate to. In the case of Jiwoo and Roa I felt as though their relationship was very natural. The awkward tension, secret glances and small smiles between the two felt very real and true to young love. Overall Love Class was simple & sweet!! I enjoyed it and would definitely watch it again if i’m down. :)Was this review helpful to you?
like just okay tbh
I don't know all the men were kind of assholes to Yuna I think she deserved so much better than she was treated by literally every character except for Hyewon. The main couples story was alright I don't know why the bald friend and other friend were even in the show tbh. Also, why would lee roa call him cute like 10 times and then pretend not to care about him when he confessed it didn't make any sense!!! I also felt like Jiwu's feelings kind of came out of nowhere he likes Yuna one second and the next second he's rejecting her?? The main takeaway I had is that Hyewon and Yuna should have ended up together.Was this review helpful to you?
Korea continues to Reign in the BL scene for 2022
I must say it took me a while to watch this because there was not much buzz and I saw mixed reviews online but off the strength of Blueming, Semantic Error and Cherry Blossoms After Winter, I decided to give this show a chance.. and boy did it not disappoint. everything had the feel of a korean Bl and it's safe to say Korea has delivered the best BL's for 2022 thus far. I loved that besides the love story there was actually a plot which is rare in Bl's these days. though the ''stalker '' in the end was no big shock it was pretty obvious that it was him. I must say I will recommend this to anyone.. it was not as great as the above mentioned 3 but it's a very good addition to the Korean BL scene.Was this review helpful to you?
Lovely, Classy, Unexpected
I really, really like this one. When I first started watching it I couldn't even get through the first episode, but something convinced me to give it another shot and I'm so glad I did.Once you get past the first episode, awkward and uncomfortable as it may be, you suddenly find yourself knee-deep in a compelling, well-written story with interesting and likeable characters that touches on some more mature topics which it handles quite deftly.
The show's strongest point are its characters. They all have interesting and realistic character arcs and grow significantly over the course of the series. The strong focus on friendship as well as relationships is especially wonderful.
What's also rare is the way the show centers its female characters. They both have agency, they both have their own very distinct personalities, they don't serve as mere plot-devices to further the main relationship, and the depictions of male-female friendships are just amazing.
The story also does a good job of exploring the realities of being a young woman and the constant looming threat of predatory men without ever getting too violent or reveling in the characters suffering. There is also nothing of the "damsel-in-distress" archetype about Yu Na's character even when she does ask for help, and this also makes that particular plot thread work much better than it might have done in a different show.
Another aspect of the series that I loved was its grounded and direct approach to queer characters and queer issues.
Ro Ah's relationship with his friend, for instance, is unique in that they are both queer, but while they both know that Nam Jun is romantically interested in Ro Ah, Ro Ah doesn't reciprocate these feelings and they simply stay friends and even live together with very few problems.
Ro Ah draws very clear boundaries and is incredibly direct about his wants and needs regarding their relationship and when Nam Jun oversteps those bounds, Ro Ah takes a very firm stand in how unacceptable such behaviour is.
I have never seen this sort of dynamic depicted in a queer drama before (unless the end-goal is for the two characters to end up together, of course) and I was very pleasantly surprised by it.
The characters also directly address the concept of coming out rather than just alluding to it which I have also not seen before and which I absolutely loved.
All in all there is a lot to love about this little series and I encourage you to give it a shot. If you can get past there first episode you will find a show full of realistic and charming characters, that knows how to inject subtle humour and genuine emotion into an interesting and somewhat unique storyline. It's an underrated gem of a show and if you let it, I think it might just charm you as thoroughly is it did me.

Extra! Extra! People expect too much from short Korean BL
I will say that I am a person that can successfully enjoy and understand a series with a fair amount of skipping and I do so liberally. This is mostly because I have an attention deficit and unless something really grabs hold, I simply skip a bit, sometimes 10/20 seconds, sometimes a few minutes. I did not skip this show once. Why? Because there was always something happening. It might feel like things weren’t fleshed out enough but it was all pretty satisfyingly completed imo.As for reviews that say “barely a BL” well, I’m sorry, most BL on the market must be extremely boring to you. There was one kiss, and while it wasn’t fizzing with chemistry, it was sweet and intentional. Ro-A clearly liked Ji Woo throughout and didn’t make much of an effort to hide it. Ji Woo clearly started thinking about Ro-A in some kinda way when he saw him shirtless and then we saw that develop for him until he confessed. Ro-A rejected him because he heard/saw the hateful comments and didn’t want Ji Woo to have to face that for the rest of his life when he was happily pursuing Yoo Na prior to them meeting.
There was zero fall-kissing and this made me insanely happy. The only bit where I cringed was when Ro-A stopped the bat with his arm. There was also no outrageous jealousy. Ro-A warned off Yoo-Na but she WAS initially using him because he liked her and made her feel safe, which put him at great risk.
All in all, this is a short series without fall kisses or bruises that disappear the next day after applying lotion and blowing. The lead isn’t caught in a predicament when faced with his female crush confessing, he straight out rejects her and goes all out to confess to the man he feels love for. It’s put me in a pretty good mood for the day.

Easy Yet Cute Watch
I find watching short dramas like these very comforting although, it doesn't always have to be up everyone's alley. For short dramas like these, there isn't much story going on because there's only so many episodes they're working with. Though, for this drama it is decent in the aspect that you can see the effort put into each episode. Although it goes fast, the pacing usually always is with 20 minute episodes, there is still a sense of charm in it. The actors were all so beautiful and they played their role well. I won't praise their acting to such a huge amount because, well, there is a lot to go on about. There are many awkward scenes but, from the way I see it, if you take in account a real life aspect of this- all of this (from what happened in the story) would probably be awkward.Everything I've watched isn't re-watch value for me because it feels like a 1 time thing. Something to watch when you're feeling bored or out of it. When it comes to other dramas I've watched, they're on a whole other level from this which goes to show how much this series needs to work on IF there is a sequel. If there is going to be one, I would most likely watch it. Other than that, it was a cute watch and I recommend it if you're looking for anything cute or fluffy and easy to watch.
