A Surprisingly Charming Coming-of-Age Story
I’m surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this one. I struggled with the first episode, but I’m so glad I stuck with it because it gave me one of the most authentic teenage friend groups I’ve seen in a while. It captured the spirit of adolescence so effortlessly, with an infectious energy that kept me engaged. The characters are chaotic and charming, the humor works, and the relationships, both romantic and platonic, feel genuinely heartwarming.
I also appreciate that this story didn’t exist in a BL vacuum. It may sound silly, but it’s refreshing to see a BL where boys and girls not only interact with each other but are actually friends. Is it just me, or do we rarely get mixed friend groups like this? I loved how this circle of friends had such a nice variety, with different types of relationships naturally woven into the story. It felt like a real group of people rather than just characters placed around the main couple.
The OST and the vibrant, colorful sets also deserve a mention, as they perfectly embodied the youthful tone of the story. Since it was a shorter show, it didn’t have the same amount of time to fully explore every character and relationship, but it also avoided dragging out conflicts. That pacing may work better for some viewers than others, but I thought they made the most out of the time they had.
It may not be a very original story, but its execution and believable characters made it a delightful watch that not only amused me but also got me emotionally invested. Short and sweet, but it left a lasting impression. Can’t wait for the second seas... I mean five special episodes. 😂
