Still rewatching after 5 years
I watched this while this was airing with my ex girlfriend in 2021. We would have sleepovers just to watch the new episodes coming out. This series is like a core memory to me and even though so much time has passed I have to admit that this is one of my comfort Bl's. I'm writing this after my 4th rewatch by the way. Because so much time has passed, the humour and the romantic scene's are, in my opinion, a bit cringy and outdated. I don't even think 5 years ago is a long time ago but you can clearly see the difference when you watch a newer shower vs an older show like this. What you can notice clearly with this series but also in cutie pie, bad buddy and fish upon the sky is the 'quicky' acting. Which you need to be okay with if you wanna watch this series. By the way, this doesn't ruin a show for me and I hope it doesn't with you either.
I'm sad First hasn't had any big roles since 2023 (he did play a side character in reset 2025). I really love him as actor and hope to see him take more main roles in the future. He and Ja are such a good pair, they genuinely had a lot of chemistry. Some of the acting wasn't amazing but that was mainly the first 'emotional' scene, that's it. Ja's acting sometimes felt like it was VERY read from paper but I don't mind too much. It was mainly the first 2 episodes but slowly it kinda goes away.
Like I mentioned it's 'old' so ofcccc they had to use the annoying 'high school' plot. I do like a high school plot but at moments it feels really unrealistic. What I mainly dislike is the whole 'rich popular boys' trope they tried in 2021. Why must they be rich and popular? It's annoying and It makes no sense, I don't like it. I couldn't help but think "why are they popular?" while watching this. The only reason I can think of for Leo is of course his dad and maybe the basketball group don't say no. But I'm so sorry, being popular because of his dad makes no sense to me... especially since his dad was only mentioned like 2-5 times through the story.
A chaotic friend groups always makes the series better. I do not like some of the comments they made and went too far, as friends you should know your friend's limit. I do like them but they really had no filter bro. I don't get how Fiat didn't really get mad at them but got mad at Leo for useless reasons. I would NOT let those jokes slide bro. Like Fiat just rolled his eyes...
The main thing I remembered from this series is the angst going on with the mother and through these past 5 years it has been stuck inside my head. This was something done really well, I don't like the parents of Fiat that much. It kinda feels like Leo and Leo's mom were the only one who cared about Fiat.
I just loveeeee the way they chose for the awkward stage of just getting into a relationship. Or like Fiat says in episode 1: "When the word boyfriend gets included, why is it so difficult?" That awkward stage when you just got a relationship is so real. Fiat being embarrassed about Leo even though the whole school ships them and loves their relationship is a bit confusing to me. Leo WAS a big greenflag but he keeps letting his emotions out over fuckin everything. Same thing with Fiats patience. I'm irritated that Leo ignored Fiat and doesn't try to get him back sometimes. Like u had a fucking argument and you just let Fiat walk out?
Another things having to do with the date this came out. The annoying sound unoriginal effects and the talking to yourself inner dialogue... Like showing how someone feels should not be done through fucking talking to yourself. Sure, everyone talks to themselves in real live but with this series they over-did it. The only once who this didn't irritate me with were Leon and Pob. Leon and Pob deserved better. The only couple I cared about through the series. Not only here but also in the side story they deserved better. After rewatching the special episode I'm confused because I remember a different ending, but maybe my mind is fucking with me
I'm gonna be very honest right here, I only suggest this if you watched this years ago. This series is like I mentioned, outdated. Not only the humour but also the acting and trends. Compared to the newer BL this just isn't good. I really hope to see a THAI remake of this series and maybe people will enjoy it more.
