Bad boy/good boy + sunshine/grumpy, + younger seme pairing, bully romance

A college kid (part-time tutor) confronts the leader of a gang (Noey) who then turns out to be his next student - falls in love with him.

Bad boy/good boy + sunshine/grumpy + younger seme + bully romance? Noey has a baby Dom thing to his bully behavior which is oddly cute. Lots of tropes I enjoy and YET I never resonated with this pulp. (I think Noey uses ter because he’s younger, and doesn’t want to use phi.)

The costumes in this show are insane and I kinda like them. There’s a Grease thing going on, and thus I keep expecting them to break into song (and being grateful t hat they don’t). The wardrobe is like the plot and the acting: loud and obvious and not very good but weirdly entertaining.

Did I like it?
Not really.

Did I mildly enjoy watching it?
Apparently.

Ultimately, I found the romantic chemistry inauthentic (especially from the uke) these two just never seemed to actually like each other, let alone want to be together, plus a terrible dead fish kiss.
