RECOMMENDED FOR FLUFF
Premise: A romance story about a popular blond haired boy and a normal black haired boy falling in love while navigating the ups and downs of school life.
GOOD
+ CONTRASTING PERSONALITIES: I loved the way both leads' personalities differed from each other but at the same time completed each other. The black haired one was optimistic and cute most of the time, which was the reason why the blond haired one noticed him in the first place. The blond haired one on the other hand was cold in nature and didn't like to show emotions. However in order to reasure the black haired one, he slowly learned to express his emotions out loud.
+ CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: Black hair and blond hair both learned and grew thanks to each other. Blond hair learned how to become more open with his emotions and black hair learned to rely more on blond hair and trust in their mutual feelings.
+ ENSEMBLE CAST: I loved how supportive the leads' friends were. Without them, the leads would probably have ended things because they couldn't say everything they wanted to say.
+ RELATIVE LACK OF ANGST: This show differed from other BL's in the sense it didn't put in useless relationship drama just for the sake of it. It was relatively angst-free and offered a rather fluffy watching experience.
+ COMMUNICATION: Although the characters didn't always do a great job in communicating their feelings for each other, they still try, unwilling to give up on each other. For example, at the end of the series, black hair was still hesitant about the future of their relationship so blond hair took it upon himself to tell him that he didn't want this relationship to end with graduation and that they should aim to stay together forever.
+ ACTING: The leads did a great job in convincing the audience of the affection they held for each other. They had a chemistry that made it a joy to watch them on screen. The ensemble cast also do a great job in adding charm to this series. Although the acting can get a little too much sometimes, it never got to the point of cringey.
+ INTERACTIONS AND FLUFF: The show is just so fluffy. The leads are adorable together and would do their best to make each other happy. In the latter part of the series, they would also become more used to expressing their love for each other in words which is just heart warming.
+ ENDING: I liked the ending where blond hair convinced black hair that they would be together forever.
BAD
- CLICHE PLOT: This show's plot is cliche and predictable but that didn't it any less enjoyable. However, I would have hoped to have more unique elements or plotpoints instead of going for the cliche high school BL elements. Nothing else seemed to happen other then events that pushed their relationship foward.
