This is a sweet drama with cute couples and really hot scenes at times, yet the story was not that appealing to me. It was pretty straight-forward which is a good thing for many people, but I felt as though the build up wasn't enough, and the love between the main couple wasn't tested enough, and at one point the series seemed to be all about the hot make out scenes.
It's one of those bl you watch only for the kissing and the bedroom scenes although they do emphasize on sending a message across saying "it's okay no matter what your sexuality is".
The acting was alright considering the cast is full of young boys who've probably acted for the first time. Really a one time watch for me.

I love how this drama is trying to break perceptions by showing couples regarded 'odd' in the korean society. We have a long term couple who doesn't want to get married but they happily cohabit together, another with an age gap of 12 years where the female is much older, a confusing same-sex friendship, and a couple who got engaged too early and is unclear about a lot things.
Shines lights on subjects that aren't generally covered in fairy tales or romcom films. Love isn't always easy, or pretty. You either make it work, or you leave. I'd recommend watching just because it's so unusual.

This review may contain spoilers
I started this one right after I had finished the first season and my instant reaction was, "I can't watch this! Eun Jae has been changed, there's no Kang in it! This is so different!"
I gave up on it and pretended that season 2 doesn't exist, until I started missing watching all these girls and how they dealt with life.
So, I gave it a shot and tbh this is just as good. Sure, it took me some time to get used to the new actress playing Eun Jae, but I later realised she did a really decent job and tried her best.
As for Kang not being in this season, she had her own reasons out of the show but does make guest appearances. I think this part was also necessary to show since life is never constant and you have to face changes and get used to them. That's exactly why adding a new housemate was genius.
Helped the story grow and made room for more plots.

This season, they again made us turn our attention towards issues like, dealing with trauma, childhood trauma, getting over a breakup, family problems, unfriendly housemates, long distance, getting into a relationship right before joining the army, moving on from years of friendship, what happens to unsuccessful entertainment groups who don't make it big, and in one of the episodes they also have a very brief conversation over lgbt. It can be perceived in both a progressive, or a primitive and homophobic kind of way.

(also lol, they keep saying stuff like @eun jae has changed" // it cracked me up)

And these are all the reasons why I absolutely love both the seasons of this drama. It's so unique and meaningful. It's fresh and relatable. It gives you motivation and courage when you see these girls are humans just like us and they experience mundane problems and deal with them together.

Must watch! 10/10 tbh :')

This drama is made in a completely different style and vibe. It's so relatable if you're a college student living in a shared house. But even if you're not, this one manages to keep you engaged.
You get to experience and feel the lives of these girls as if you're the one living it. The problems, the happy times, the struggles. It's so precious. Yet there's a constant reminder that all of them have a backstory ready to be unraveled.
Through this you can understand that each person has a reason as to why they behave in a certain way, what made them live their lives the way they're living it. Even if we have different personalities and problems, we are all just trying to live our lives and move forward. We should just live and try harder at life.

Dating contract with your favorite celebrity's look alike as your last wish????

The story is so silly, but I still watched it because it had some humour element like kdrama parodies or how fangirls are in real life.
Lee Seo Won did a great job at his dual roles. (Sucks what he did to his career tho, very disappointed)

COULDN'T REALLY ENJOY IT BECAUSE OF THE PLOT. WHAT EVEN, HE HATES HIS FACE BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE A CELEBRITY BUT WANTS TO BE A CELEBRITY AS WELL??
It's definitely a one time watch for me. It's pretty well made and everything but the story doesn't appeal to me
7/10

TIME AND PATIENCE IS KEY FOR WATCHING THIS BL DRAMA.
This drama is sweet, has a lot of cute pairings and it's kinda enjoyable, considering you can ignore the awkward acting (since most thai bl dramas have noob actors this isn't anything new).
But what I really hated were the kiss scenes, they're hella fake. They hardly even let their lips touch the other person's lips or cheeks. NOPE NOPITY NOPE, VERY DISAPPOINTING.
The side couple outshines the main couple's chemistry but I genuinely hated how they came together (Frame x Book)

There's long stagnant moments that may make you cringe but if liked 'Love Sick The Series', you'll probably like this better. I found myself comparing the two because of the whole school based, multiple pairings and amateur acting, girlfriend cheating, but I prefer this over that any day.
Bonus : they have a lesbian story as well!!

It has no season 2 so far and you'll probably feel like you were abandoned. So that's a warning before you go watch it and get emotionally invested like me

The story is pretty realistic and believable. It's cute and straightforward as well. No drama or dragged scenes. No rivalry or annoying characters. You can sympathize with the main characters and their emotions. And the actors have done a good job portraying their roles. BONUS, the actors are all very handsome and young.
The music and scores playing in the back are calm and add an ambiance to this cute drama.
The colors and cinematography are really nice and soft.

Worth a watch.

oh boy, you thought season 1 had flaws? This one doesn't get any better, and it is a looong ride!
You need a lot of patience and time to watch this. I only finished it because I didn't want to leave the story incomplete.

I'll be honest I was excited when I saw that this one has 36, thinking it'll have more room for romance (gold fish scenes) and cute scenes. But this season is just a drag, there were a lot of unnecessary flashbacks, over the top product advertisement, side plots that could've have been shortened (PopShay, JeedGrace, girl drama) - REALLY ANNOYING AND WASN'T REQUIRED FOR THE PLOT TO PROCEED, LIKE THE PROGRESS WASN'T SLOW ALREADY.

The side characters like Earn, Ohm, Film and Golf were way better actors than the mains (sorry not sorry).
Hated the bad angles in which kiss scenes were shot (I get that there was an issue but the angles didn't make it any better)

Now for the good parts, this drama isn't just about two guys who have feelings for each other, it's also about friendships, how you fix problems and deal with relationships, what student life's like, fun times, teamwork, school days, questioning your sexuality, being cheated on, trusting wrong people in life and a lot other things. You'll see relationships and friendship evolve and there'll be comic relief when the plot gets heavy.

Overall Rating : 7/10
