I didnt wanna like this but here I am

Yeah i thought i was too cool for this series.i mean you cant blame me. The plot is pretty shit just from the synopsis. The basicest of the basicestest basic. Enemies to lovers and rando family fueds. And the dreaded engineering faculty. This was going to be bad. i just knew it. Did not even try.
I did try watch the first episode and sure enough within the first 5 minutes theres a bunch of guys beating each other up. Trying to look all matcho.And if you know me I find action more loathful and boring that anything else. So i pretty much gave up 5 minutes in.
BUT. theN I went on one of those coldties edits. (S/he are the only reason I watch any dramas.) she and everyone else was so hyped about it and the edit made it look good so i was just like.... Ok now i have to watch it.
So i did! Definitely had to skip all the ffight scenes but that was just the first five minutes. Then it got better and better and i was just smiling throughout. And before I knew it this series took over my LIFE. i dont think i d be alive the entire week if i didnt know bad buudy was releasing in friday. And i cant believe its ending so soon:/
The plot is basic. Yeah. Fact. But its ok. It takes a cliche and just executes it well. Which makes it amazing. Its like all the feel goodness of 2gether minus the cringe and the lack of chemistry(was that controversial, i dont care sarawat and tine are just so straight that my brain doesnt stitch them together. Even when sarawats talking about grabbing tines tits, and he does that aLOT, it feels so utterly heterosexual.)i guess because theyre friends irl. Its also very healthy. Wholesome. They have realistic issues except for the fam thing. Not even a bit of unneccessarily prolongedyy drama. These boys act like real human beings. They talk stuff out. As they should. They dont act emotionally constipated just to extend the episode count to 20. Love that.

The actings pretty fine. I have 0 complaints. I dont want to get flamed by the stans but I feel like people hype nanons acting up incredibly high and I dont get it. I am NOT SAYING hes bad at acting. NOT AT ALL hes actually tred good and good at making you feel like its not acting. Very impressive for a young age too and hes only going to be getting better. What im saying though is that its the bare minimum to not cringe at an actors skillslol? I think we're all just so used to low tier bl actors that when anyone who can give a decent play of their role, its genuinely shocking, which i dont quite understand. Hes not bad AT ALL AND I REEMPHASISISE THAT HES ACTUALLY GOOD but yes i didnt quite get the hype. He plays his role like an actor should and I hope that sets a standard. Everyone acts pretty fine too.

The music was okay. Inoffensive
