I didn't know something would surpass PILIKula to this level of cringeness. Welll, at least PILIKula got a good production despite the worst storyline and acting. This series is painfully dissatisfying from start to finish.

(Note: I actually hate myself, so my punishment is watching this series.)


Story

Is there a story? Oh right! Combining all clichés and overused tropes, pushing the concept when the budget can't achieve, and writing problematic lines.

Trigger Warning: Homophobia, Transphobia, Body Shaming, Manipulation

I understand that not all BLs got a good budget. And that's fine because even high-bugdeted prod can still make worst show (ex. 2gether the series). But this one lacks bugdet and it shows.

They really tried to shove it on our throats, huh! Like can you not push an exclusive private school concept with rich students and can't even afford to get a good setting!?

It seems like this series is made by JHS students for a school project. This one looks cheap and trash. It's trying-hard which gives me brain damage.

Well, I can squint and disregard the set design for the sake of story.... however, nothing's good about it either. Plus, the characters are spouting nonsense and bullshits that I can never forgive.

Sure, I applaud the series for hiring LGBT cast and letting them wear outfit that makes them comfortable. BUT. They're really acting from stereotypes. And there are unforgivable amount of homophobia and transphobia from this series.

I am tried with these bullshits. Please. This is so backward!!!

Another thing, the amount of body shaming showcased is beyong recovery. There's only one plus size character but they're making it look like being fat is a personality trait. Who wrote this series? Let me talk to you.

The only good thing about the series is that the main characters didn't end up together. I'm not into sad endings but this series made the right decision.

Please. I don't like the bully to lover trope. As a person who was bullied in highschool, whenever a drama has that kind of trope gives me flashbacks—bad memories. You don't fall in love with your bully!

Though, the main couple had sweet moments, at least they didn't end up together! Because the bully is a manipulator and if they end up together, we're romanticizing red flag behaviors.

(No justice for the second male lead.)


Acting/Cast

Ugh. Aside from the bad storyline and script, the acting is bad. They really casted too many starlets who can't act!

There are too many unnecessary characters. They did not even help the story progress! They're just there for the sake of filling the small classroom. Lmao.

I lost count how many times I facepalm-ed from cringing on their acting.


Music

I don't like the musical scoring. It's annoying. It does not give anything to the mood of the scenes.

The OST is fine, but the production of the song is novice.


Rewatch Value

Well, from my notes above...do you really I'll bother to watch this again?
