Se Hun is a model student with good grades, but an unfortunate incident on the bus one day earns him the humiliating nickname of ‘Erector.’ The choir director, Won Dae, asks him to be his running mate for the upcoming student council election. Needing to rehabilitate his image, Se Hoon agrees, only to find out that he is Won Dae’s twelfth running mate. With his pride bruised, Se Hun decides to join Sang Hyun, a walking luxury man known as the local social butterfly.

A Drama That Goes Nowhere
This show is the textbook definition of wasted potential. From start to finish, it’s a flat, lifeless experience with no real story to tell. The pacing is sluggish, the plot is practically nonexistent & not a single character leaves an impression. Most actors weren't particularly charming either (but it could be just to do with the screenplay & unintriguing story).Sehun character, as one of the male leads, is especially underwhelming. With the entire narrative supposedly built around his character, you’d expect some level of depth or charisma but sadly he brings zero presence & painfully disengaged throughout which makes you feel super annoyed as a viewer.
The rest of the cast doesn’t do much to elevate things either. Plenty of moments with unwarranted over the top acting. There’s not much chemistry anywhere, no standout performance, & definitely no reason to care about what’s happening on screen.
Releasing all episodes at once was the only mercy as you have the option to FF. Go for it, if you have time to kill but to me, not worth the time.

*sigh*
I'm so disappointed that I'll keep it very short. This TV series is sh*t. Full of plot contrivances, over-the-top acting, lousy directing, lousy cinematography, lousy character development. Lousy ending. The so-called funny bits are mostly cringe. I'm sure people will enjoy it and give it a high rating but "I like this show" is not the same with "this show is good", fact most people forget.So: Wanna watch it? Go for it. Might you enjoy it? Sure. Is it objectively good? Definitely no. Return value? Pls, stop.
Have a lovely day.
