Summer Night (2024)

Classic High School Drama

A story about friendships, somewhat growing up and navigating life in high school drama. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster that depicts pretty accurate the worries of teenagers.

Dunk and Lookjun were my highlight of this series. Especially Dunk delivered a great performance as White. That one emotional scene made me cry and I’m not a crier. Lookjun was perfect as Ivy.

Ryu and Java did good too, just wish we would been allowed to explore their plot more. I’m still wondering about Tan’s backstory and Jewel’s personality. I did like their progression, but they could have spent more time on thrm instead of other focuses.

Phuwin and Parn delivered ok in giving life to their characters. At least I learnt that onscreen, Phuwin really just kisses that way🤷‍♀️ It is what it is… I’m still mad about GMM making yet another one-dimensional female character with absolutly no growth or development. At least Lune had some trauma that explained why he did what he did and acted like he were.

GMMTV you are my #1 enemy

I really enjoyed this series so much at the start but as it went on, Lune and Star did so many things that really annoyed me and it just continued getting worse throughout the series. No matter how likable the side characters are, if the main characters are just simply annoying it makes it difficult to watch the series.

I'll start with the things I enjoyed first. White & Ivy were such easy characters to root for, individually and together. I started this series because I really like Lookjun so ofc I had to tune in (esp because she's playing a bi character). But I was surprised that I was shipping White and Ivy the most out of every character. Maybe it's because they were both hurt by the same person so seeing them comfort each other was very nice. I also think Lookjun and Dunk played off of each other very well (honestly the whole cast did), and this was some of the best acting I've seen from Dunk. I was disappointed that they teased that they would get together but just ended it off on "we can't date, we are better off as friends."

As the series went on I realized that both Lune and Star really need to mature and become better people. Not even when it comes to their relationship but when it comes to their friendships. The way they treated White and Ivy threw me off, not even just because those two were my favs. They wouldn't have told Ivy about their relationship if she didn't find out on their own and then the way they treated White was just horrible. I don't know if I could have accepted their apology as easy as he did, which just shows how good of a person he is. Also the way Star just completely stopped Ivy from confessing to her was just really odd.
