I lowkey fucked with this show a lot, LMAO. It lowkey got a lot of hate, but it is just very whimsical, and I quite enjoyed it. I would give it an 8.6 out of 10. Then I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't, give an episode overview, and call it a day.

Starting off strong, I just liked this shit, like period. I am, of course, going to complicate the fuck out of what I liked, but the show overall was good. It was kind of a no-brainer show, with good character writing and romance. There wasn't much to hate about this. I personally loved Boy Next World, but there was a lot happening, and I felt like my brain was in overdrive with that shit, so this one was such a delight; I can't lie. Like, Fu had a crush on him since high school, and Moo Moo did too, and I just love that. Then Moo's crush died, Fu's continued, destiny brought them back together, and then they got back together; I love it a lot. But yeah, great plot for a great show, and yeah, Boss and Noeul with another successful show under their belt (some people may beg to differ, but people on the internet aren't real, so it's okay lmao).

Another thing I liked was our side couples, specifically the one with the youngest brother. I feel like I am the biggest hater when it comes to high school romances in side couples, but I was so obsessed with them, and I don't even know why. I think the romance writing for them was really good and also really fun. And yeah, that's kind of it; I wish they did a little more with the two of them as well as the other brother, but we were way too focused on the bop ass friend lmao.

We know that Chloe hates everything to do with romance building because I swear to god shows are so bad at it, but what happens when we have been in love with someone for damn near 5 years? What about that romance building? And to that I say, this show did a pretty god damn good job at it. I think at first the love Fu had for Moo was definitely obsession, and it was borderline creepy because Moo hated every second of it, but the more lore we got, the more it worked. I thought it was cute that Moo also had a crush on him, but it faded because of a misunderstanding, which happens in real life a lot, but he ends up falling for him again because he gets to know Fu more and realizes that he has always been that guy he had a crush on in high school; he has just been hiding behind this weird personality the whole time out of fear that his love for MooMoo would fade. Very interesting to think about, and I like what they did with that a lot.

I used the words, "This show is so addicting in all the bad ways," and I think that really sums it up lmao. Because this show is kind of ass, but in a good way?

Next up, HE GETS ASSAULTED BY THE TEACHER. I don't really know where to put this in terms of my review, but I didn't hate it, and not because of some fetish shit. I think the whole scene was written and set up pretty well, so good for them. Let's break this down. Some guy I can't remember the name of had a crush on Moo in high school and helped him get over Fu because Fu hung around some bitch ass guys who made him someone he didn't want to be. Okay great. Flash forward to the present day; he is helping Moo write his senior thesis. Okay, feels a little random, but the guy seems nice, so I'm like, yay, we have a nice, good-looking guy and a one-off character to make Fu jealous for the love of the game. Then shit starts to rapidly hit the fan; the guy's like, come in my office and let's work on the thesis, and Moos's like, "Hey, sure, thank you for your help." They are working on it, and the guy starts to say crazy shit, and Moos is like, "So no, I have a man," and the guy stands up, so Moo tries to leave. The guy then forces him into a wall and starts to assault him. Thankfully, Fu came to the rescue and saved him, but then we learned a lesson about forgiving and forgetting, and also trusting people who once helped us. Forgive and forget in terms of our main couple. Like, sure, Fu did all of those things to Moo in high school, but he repented, and now they are better, so what's it to this guy sticking his fucking nose where it doesn't belong? I'll answer that he has no right, but he thinks he does because he has this deluded sense in his mind that he does, and that's why he thinks that Moo 'owes' him something (his body) because he protected him all of those years ago, which he doesn't (and no one does, for that matter, including Fu). Well, it did feel random. I think the messages that it was trying to convey were really good, so good for them for writing the scene the way they did.

For things I didn't like, the first thing that comes to mind, without even looking at my episode reviews, was the bop friend. I don't even remember his name, so that is telling you everything you need to know. Okay, so he was in Boy Next Door with this other guy, and then they had a crappy short drama after their popularity in that show that I got most of the way through and never finished (I will try to finish it, I swear), and now we are here, but it's him alone. And it's completely fine and normal to go on to bigger and better things and not be attached to one partner; that's really not the problem here. I think the problem arises when you serve actually zero purpose to the plot and your whole personality is being a whore. Like, it wasn't even good comedic relief; it was like I was dreading it every time this bitch came on screen, like what? I also think it was in part due to his acting not being the best in this. But nonetheless, I am so fucking done with you- bye, BYE BYE, GET OFF MY SCREEN BITCH.

Another thing I didn't like was the start. Reading back my episode review, the second-hand embarrassment is washing over me rapidly, and I am cringing just thinking about that shit, my lord. Some of it was fun; I will give them that. The rest of it felt like actual slop on my screen, and I think I lost a few brain cells during the entirety of the first episode. But hey, if you can get through that, I think that the rest of the show is actually pretty good.

This is irrelevant to the plot of the show, but I have been meaning to talk about this: Why does Boss always play creepy ass characters? That's today's question. First love in the air: he graduated when Rain was a high school senior, and they got together. Boy, next world, he made up an entire timeline to be with this guy who was also like a year or so younger than him. Technically, payback: he is playing this creepy-ass photographer, like what? And now this shit. We are in love with our younger brother's friend, and they have like a 3-year age gap, I am pretty sure, AND HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM IN HIGH SCHOOL, UM, HELLO? Yeah, very weird.

The plot from episode 9 onward was so random and ass, and I know we're just trying to drag it out, but girl, bye. You played in my face and actually wasted my time. I am so done with y'all. I think they should have either slow-burned the show (which is crazy coming from me) a little bit more or made it shorter because this was just bullshit.

Episode overview time, let's run it! Episode 1: "They just had a dance battle in the club. In pure silence, by the way. I am so lost." Episode 2: "Boy Next World reference, if you even care." Episode 3: "He is falling in love with him bc he is seeing more of the real him, and I like that a lot, actually; that's really fun." Episode 4: "Wow, turnt party y'all…Sick-ass party if only we did not have the goddamn xylophone in the back, bro. Fu is playing checkers rn, bro, and moo moo. It has turned around and does not even know they are playing, bro." Episode 7: "But yeah, I like it, and I love these two together. I think it is really fun. But I am going to need a show where Nouel is like a gangster instead of this little bitch-ass gangster." Episode 8: "Hey, are we high school students or are we grown men in high school student uniforms? This guy. Hello, random sex scene." Episode 9: "This plot line is random, though, and just kind of pointless."

Yeah, the ending was fine, nothing really that special, but this is their second time getting married, which is really cute, so good for them. I would recommend this if you like whimsy. If you are a fucking grouch who hates everything, then maybe not, lmao. Okay bye!
