I absolutely loved and adored this show! This was so cute and so wholesome! It's been my favorite thing airing the past 12 weeks and am so sad that it's over. I love AlmondProgress and KenPaul, so I was happy to see them in a new show! All of these guys are just incredible actors!! It was my first time seeing Keaton and Justin and they were great actors as well. I love that over this show we got to see them go from young high schoolers all the way through them graduating college. Seeing all of them grow up was so nice to see. This show just gave me so many nostalgic feelings throughout it even though I didn't go through much of what they did, it still gave that feeling of nostalgia and youth and I loved that.

Ko and Ko:
Ko (Progress) was so funny! I loved seeing that he was more than just a funny guy though as well. We really got to see a lot of different sides of him and I loved that. Ko (Almond) was so smart and so loving. I loved that we got to see him go from someone a bit more reserved to someone goofier and more open with his feelings. I thought it was pretty cute that they had the same name and loved the nicknames they gave each other. Them going from neighbors to friends to boyfriends was so beautiful to see. I just loved seeing how their feelings for each other kept developing. They really grew a lot with each other as a couple as well as individuals. They had so many sweet moments together, it was too cute!! Even when they had issues, they seemed to work it out pretty quickly which was nice to see. Almond and Progress did such an incredible job playing these roles. The confession in the rain really showed how great of actors these boys are.

Augur and Aichi:
I'm going to put Aichi in my pocket, he is so stinking cute! He's such a sweetie and I loved seeing him get a little sassier as he got older. I loved how good of a friend Augur was to everyone. He really helped a lot of relationships develop if you think about it. I loved these two together so much. Seeing them go from friends to boyfriends was so sweet. I loved how they just went everywhere together and seeing Aichi be Augur's number one supporter with basketball. Their confession to each other was so cute and so flirty, I loved it! I was shocked that they argued so much when they were in college, but I loved what Augur said about it all in the end.

August and Tle:
We have to address the elephant in the room before anything else with these two and that is Justin. Obviously because of what Justin did, it effected the screentime for August and Tle in episodes 11 and 12. We barely saw Tle at all (I don't think he was in more than one shot in the finale) and he wasn't even mentioned other than that. We did still see August because of group shots and things like that, which I have no issue with. I personally wish they would've just left those scenes with August and Tle in because it did feel very incomplete and like Tle was just written out of the show. What Justin did was in no way shape or form okay, but that being said I do think we should blame the actor and not the character. I mean because of this, poor Keaten was basically written out of the last two episodes and that is not fair to him, or the characters August and Tle at all. I did really think August and Tle had some cute moments together and was looking forward to seeing where that relationship would go, but all well.

I just absolutely adored this show and despite the last two episodes being a little shorter because of the Justin situation, I'm not going to take any points of my rating off because of that. This show was just so wholesome and so enjoyable to watch. These boys all had great chemistry together, whether that was romantic or not, and I loved this friend group so much! We need more shows like this!! So stinking cute!!
