Beautiful visuals and music with an interesting story

Some are slamming this, but I am looking forward to seeing more. I'm wondering why many keep referring to the FL as a "villain" She is the hero! Sometimes I wonder if people that write reviews have actually seen the shows. I feel the FL is doing a good job but I feel she is written to be a little over the top. I don't believe it's overacting as much as scenes that make her seem like a spoiled brat. Some of her actions seem unbelievable for a girl that was raised by a general. The ML is now one of my faves. This is about the 3rd series I've seen him in and he is steadily growing as an actor. One of my few nitpick about production value is the sped up scenes. At some point the editors of historical dramas will understand that instead of speeding up someone running, or horses running you can simply cut into the scene at a later point. Otherwise your drama will come across as cheap and poorly produced. Still I am enjoying it for what it is, and have not had to fast forward through boring scenes and I'm glad there are not 40 episodes. In the US I guess we have gotten used to fast paced shows and sometimes the slow burners are boring and talky talky. It could be that too much dialogue in another language can sometimes make me sleepy, but I have not had that problem with this show.

Risate assicurate!

Un kdrama corto che scorre velocemente praticamente finito in un pomeriggio, che vi assicura un po' di risate e buonumore.
La storia è semplice, ambientata nel ambiente scolastico con una studentessa un po' strana e 4 professori bellocci, lei un autrice sconosciuta di web novel bl (niente scene alla bl se è quello che cercate, è bl soft) diventa famosa quando si ispira per i suoi racconti ai suoi profesori. Poi c'è anche un po' di romance ,anche se vista l'ambientazione scolastica non può decolare, tra la protagonista e uno dei insegnanti il più burbero che però non è così cattivo quanto può sembrare.
Ci saranno momenti esilaranti con qualche momento di tensione ma nel complesso si ride e ci si diverte a vedere questo dramma.
Se avete voglia di due risate qui di sicuro le troverete!

Not The Best But Still Good

The quality of the production was good despite not having a huge budget and the special effects were decent for the budget they had. The acting was pretty good for the most part and I don't think the script was too bad but there are definitely some inconsistencies in the storytelling. I can't tell if it's just the editing or if it came from the directing side as well but there are contradictions in some scenes and the flow of other scenes felt off like they were out of order or missing some context that might have come from a deleted scene. Overall I liked the story being told, it was the way it was told that could use some improvement. I didn't have any issue with the fact that the show takes place in three different languages (Korean, Thai and English) especially given the fact that half the main characters are aliens but some may find this irksome. They managed to keep it interesting with a couple little plot twists but nothing too outrageous or unbelieveable and they tied off the loose ends of almost all the characters in a way that was satisfying and actually kind of sweet. To conclude; I think this is a cute little multi-national BL that shouldn't be taken too seriously, just sit back and enjoy the wacky antics and romantic moments and appreciate the happy ending RaonWooju get that we didn't get from KimChay (KinnPorsche).

Anticipated adaptation but did not disappoint

As a huge fan of the original manhwa and the Blue String Universe, I went into this adaptation with high expectations, and thankfully, it delivered.

It still hurts knowing that the original manhwa got axed because it remains one of my favorite school-action series ever. Among all the Blue String Universe titles, this one always stood out to me because of its unique take on justice, bullying, and the adults willing to step in when the system fails. Seeing it receive a live-action adaptation felt both exciting and bittersweet.

The biggest highlight was undoubtedly Kim Mu Yeol as Na Hwa Jin. From the moment he appeared on screen, he embodied everything I loved about the character. The charisma, intimidating presence, confidence, and unwavering sense of justice were all there. As someone who has read plenty of manhwa adaptations, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite live-action portrayals of a manhwa character. He didn't just play Na Hwa Jin; he felt like he walked straight out of the panels.
Jin Ki Joo as Im Han Rim also deserves praise. While I wouldn't necessarily call her portrayal a completely accurate depiction of the character from the manhwa, she still delivered a strong performance. She brought her own charm and energy to the role, making the character enjoyable in her own way.

What I appreciated most was how the drama stayed true to the spirit of the source material. The themes of school violence, justice, and protecting vulnerable students remained intact, while the action sequences were engaging and satisfying. It captured the essence of why fans fell in love with the story in the first place.

As with any adaptation, there are a few changes and compromises, but overall, this is one of the better manhwa-to-live-action adaptations I've watched. For fans of the Blue String Universe, it feels like a rewarding tribute to a story that deserved much more time to shine.

I recommend it

Overally I liked the show. Good story that I enjoyed (it had some problems imo that I’ll explain later but in general I liked it). It have great soundtracks. I love when the bubbly like sound start playing. Give me the feeling that we are finding some hints
The show is fun, have a good mystery emotional roller coaster between romance and drama; it also carry the story very well. My only personal problem is how the mystery goes on. In general it’s good but some aspects of the mystery feels like they were added without any plan. To be more accurate you see some flashbacks at start. The mystery related to those flashbacks are the main focus of the show and it carried out very well. But there is a small part of the story releated to that, that it came out of nowhere which I didn’t like at all. It was there to make things more understandable and acceptable but it felt to be added out of nowhere
Also imo they could add more fun scenes to the show using female lead being a fangirl but they decided to keep that just as some dialogues like there is a new event coming up and no more

Saved by the cast

The story started strong but became repetitive. In almost every episode, we're reminded that Ah-Jin is selfish, manipulative, and arrogant, with her childhood constantly used to justify her behavior. Despite the show's attempts to make her seem complex, she rarely shows any real depth. The only time she surprised me was in the episode with In-gang's grandmother, where I thought she might finally show some remorse, but that potential quickly disappeared.
The acting was the drama's saving grace and kept it engaging. The soundtrack, however, felt a bit heavy-handed every time Ah-Jin started scheming, the dramatic violins kicked in. I wouldn't watch it again, but it was entertaining enough.

Uma continuação mais comedida

Only Friends: Dream On superou minhas expectativas, pois o trailer inicial (com OhmLeng ainda) dava a ideia de algo super genérico, porém souberam desenvolver um enredo em cima da proposta. A química do ship EarthMix está incrível na série, nunca tinha visto eles tão conectados e em sincronia nessa série, embora ainda se repita o modus operandi do rabugento + atrevido. Embora tenha gostado muito de Dream On, pra mim, não supera a primeira temporada, que era muito mais caótica pelo misto de sentimentos dos personagens do Book, Khao e First... e ainda tinha o agravante da sociedade entre os amigos que estavam cruzando limites. Dream On já vem mais comedida, não há beijos entre atores não-ships (uma pena, faltou certo atrevimento), e Boston foi uma promessa que nos enganou, pois parecia que ia tocar o terror novamente, porém apareceu pouco e não fez nada. Pelo menos surpreendeu positivamente ao respeitar o personagem do Gawin em momento de crise... O que não me desceu foi o Raffy, que personagem SEM GRAÇA... o expressivo, errado e sem curva de evolução, passou toda a série na sombra do Dean e ficou nisso. A atuação do Boom é muito fraca, ele não tem muitas expressões e o personagem pareceu vazio... Os coadjuvantes também aparecem pouco e em quase nada agregam... Pete totalmente desnecessário e Gameplay aparece e some do nada... No geral, a série diverte, é interessante e vale a pena assistir, mesmo com alguns defeitinhos.

Peng Yu change never fails with that expression

I have tried countless comedy but when it becomes serious I totally drop it immediately. I thought it was gonna be different this time but sadly it wasn't.

No one can make me laugh like peng yu cheng does, when i saw him in the poster I immediately tried this (lmao in I am nobody). The way he delivers his lines is so funny and his expression is so on point which i think what other actors lacks when acting in comedy and is hard to be immersed.

Watch it for Peng Yuchang's brilliant performance, but feel absolutely no guilt about hitting the drop button the second the tone shifts. It’s a fun ride until it isn't.

Also hated that subtle romance LOL

I recommend you to try watching this, it's such a fun watch.
