Forgettable

**Brief Synopsis**
B (student): Zon
T (student): Saifah

- Beginning: B is a normal student with a novel writing hobby. However his novels aren’t really good. His life is normal until he learns about BL from his sister and the fact that people at school ship him and T. He’s naturally confused and annoyed, because he finds everything about T to be annoying as hell. T is his rival, someone he always fights with every time they meet. But for some reason he keeps having dreams about being a couple with T and he keeps seeing gay couples every where, making him start doubting his own sexuality. He keeps thinking homoerotic thoughts regarding T. He thinks it’s because his sister made a vow for his BL novel to come to life and that vow was coming true.

- Middle: He tries everything to avoid his fate but despite his best efforts, T starts appearing more and more in his vicinity, constantly teasing him. And little by little, B starts softening up to T, no longer yelling at him every time he sees him. He even invites him to his room. But the more time he spends with, the more he overthinks, over analyzing every of T’s actions and comparing them to his sister’s novel. Normal actions such as helping a friend dry his hair becomes romantic in his mind. He tries to run of course, but the more he tries to run, the more T wants to tease him, such as jokingly telling him they slept together when nothing happened. And slowly, B starts to get used to T’s actions, starting falling for T.

- End: The series ends with them starting to date and promising each other they won’t break up.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors look really good together. They are really funny together. Their interactions are adorable.
- I love how B keeps overthinking everything and comparing each action to what usually appear in BL novels, basically convincing himself he was in a BL novel and he was going to end up sleeping with T. This is such a novel way of falling in love. No matter how much he resists, nothing will change. It’s adorable how he thinks he can prevent his relationship with T from going further. It’s not made easy by the fact that the more he tries to run, the cuter T finds him and the more he wants to tease him.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- The acting isn’t good. Scenes outside romance just feel plain and off. The characters don’t act like normal people (their movements and reactions seems exaggerated) and when they show emotions such as anger, it is not believable.
- The editing is really not my cup of tea. There are cheesy music and unnecessary sound effects to everything, making certain scenes look exaggerated.
- The cliche and predictable plot. Outside romance related stuff, there really isn’t a plot. Nothing happens really to the main couple. The secondary couple seems to have more of a plot but I wasn’t interested in them.
- There aren’t many intimate scenes for the main couple. The side couple does have some.

**Conclusion**
This is an okay watch that I won’t revisit.
