Sweet Fluff That Lacks Substance
My School President is another BL from a long series of school feelgood BL fluffs to watch on a rainy day when you only want to sit down and watch something easy and teeth-rottingly fluffly.One thing that makes this drama in particular a bit different (but still not completely different, because we have already HAD dramas centered around music/arts) is the OST of the drama, with each episode having one central song. The connection to music was done seamlessly and clearly the actors have gone through some musical bootcamp to look at least somewhat competent with their instruments. This gave way to an episodic nature of initial episodes which felt very fun, cute, goofy and enjoyable.
But of course, the main highlight of this drama are the two leads - Gemini and Forth had amazing chemistry and they managed to carry this drama to its end without any big accidents. Their charm is legendary and it is hard to believe that MSP is their acting debut as they both understood their assignment very well.
The rest of the drama feels like a carbon copy of any other well made (!) Thai BL of recent years. In particular, it seems like the director and scriptwriters have gone very carefully through Bad Buddy and hand picked many things that worked there and tried to get it into this drama. The main lead dynamics felt similar, the story felt similar, the comedy felt similar, the setting was similar, but yes in the end there ARE many differences that do set these two dramas apart. But at the same time, I looked up my commentary/review on Bad Buddy and if I didn't know any better, I could use that text to describe MSP, as it describes my feelings for MSP to the dot.
Just like BB, My School President peaked around episode 6 (what a great episode!) but compared to BB, it managed to hold some semblance of shape and form for a little longer. Last 3 episodes, despite containing the climax of the whole story (that is competition and the main couple going public with their relationship to their families) were so boring, it took me 9 months (!!!) to finish these 3 episodes (despite binging larger part of episodes 1-9). It just felt unimportant, all over the place and unfocused.
Overall, I had most of the time great time watching MSP. It is a well-made drama. I dare to even say one of the best in the "fluffy school BL" genre out there. It is just a shame that the amazing lead duo was not utilized to make something more substantial as this particular type of story has very little to offer to this over-saturated market.
As for the rating, I am on a fence. It is somewhere between 8/10 and 8.5/10. I will definitely keep an eye on Gemini and Forth in their future ventures (be it as an acting couple or solo)

Charming and light, but realistic enough to stay grounded
Words cannot express how much I love this series, but I will try to explain nonetheless.What I liked:
- The ACTING. I was miserable after watching Bad Buddy, because I couldn't find a series that could compare or even come close to it, and MSP came to save the day. GeminiFourth (TinnGun) are great actors, and more importantly, they have amazing chemistry - as a result, even the scenes that I would normally find cringe come off as endearing and fun. I mostly appreciate the heavier scenes, where their acting abilities truly come to light. If you want to see more of that, I would recommend Moonlight Chicken, as their story is more dark and grounded than the one in MSP.
- Dedicating a second bullet point to their chemistry because I just can't talk about it enough. Their banter is my favorite part of their dynamic, especially when they have already confessed and enjoy provoking one another. I also like that their love language seems to be physical touch (more specifically chin grabbing lol) and acts of service.
- The music! If you check my Bad Buddy review, I stated that musical scenes usually make me cringe so bad I tend to skip them altogether. However, MSP was a happy surprise - not only were the scenes great, but the soundtrack was catchy as well. Like, I could get through all the songs and didn't really mind listening to them over and over (and, believe me, this series LOVES to rehash its best songs lol).
- Tinn's best friend was amazing and supportive, I really liked him. I've also warmed up to the actor since I've seen him in like ten different BLs, so maybe I'm biased, but I digress.
- Secondary and (potential?) third couple? Idk, I loved seeing everyone fall for each other and related to that one friend that just got no b*tches at all lmao
- Everyone had their interests! Tinn wanted to be a doctor to help people, and he liked music, and Gun liked singing but he also wanted to be able to provide for his mum. They gave depth to their characters and it made the story so much better imo
What I would change/improve:
- I understand that the actors are very young (they're my age, but compared to other BLs, where everyone is in their 20s, they are remarkably young), and that they're not going to be filming KinnPorsche 2.0 any time soon, but the lack of kissing really started to piss me off by the end. Like, they've confessed their feelings, they act flirty and go on dates, but can't kiss? The final kiss was nice, it felt natural and it was cute, but it almost didn't make up for all the slowburn and half-kisses we'd got up to that point. I was almost buzzing in my seat watching them do random stuff and thinking we would get no kiss at all. We did, but was it worth it?
- Tinn was a little bit too over-the-top for my taste sometimes, especially in the beginning. I think he improved loads throughout the series, though.

UNEXPECTEDLY MUSICAL GOOD DRAMA
This Drama brought me back to my High school days, you can clearly prove here that High School is one of the best and the happiest part of your life !The vibe that this drama has given me made me give this rating, coz this is the reason why I watch drama, it's for the good vibes, life lessons and get jealous over and over again watching the leads fall in love wishing it could happen to me also one day.. lol anyways..
I saw that this drama is a musical drama, There are so many songs and damn ! I wanna save them all and have them become my playlist for a week !
One of the best part here is the bond between this music club, you can say that this drama is not just about love but of friendship and I don't know why but, this drama brought me to the world of a high school kid, like you might notice as a young adult speaking here (coz' I am already in my 20's + age ) sometimes you thought that high school kids have like have no deep understanding on many things, well you can say that but here we can see high school kids have things that thay are going through that we do not understand ..
sample is the part where the music club members went out for their thanks giving, and they fought at each other and blaming each other after loosing the Hot wave music awards .. damn ! I cried a lot at that scene ! specially when they apologized to each other and decided to stand for their team ! what a nice bond they have ! such a strong friendship ! they literally got me there !
everything and everypart was just really relatable to me, I remembered my high school days and all the acivity and stuff we did !
My best part and the part that put me to the maximum level of vibe here is the end part of course ! I literally felt and remembered my high school days where it was our last day and we have to leave everything and begin to find our dreams ! I love that ..
This drama is just so different from what I expected, I thought it is just like the other, but I was wrong, there was no drama like this it is just strangely different.
I also liked the part where Tinn and Gun heard a teacher speaking ill about them coming out as a couple, I realized and asked in this part that why does it have to be like every gay have to experience such as discouraging things as this ? like gays or any member of LGBTQIA+ must have having a hard time but is fighting until now... well even the fact that is is like this and it is sad .. it is the reality anyways .. there will always be someone who accepts and understands and supports .. but there will also always be someone who disagrees, bashes and does bot accept thesr things ..☹️ .. we cannot please everybody, the most important thing is our own happiness.. if there'll be someone to support, its good but if many disagrees .. just don't mind them and not let them get through you ..
The kiss of Win and Sound is a bit awkward and funny , but they did get through it so thats enough ? ..
my favorite character here is Tiwson ? He is so cute adorable and funny, GeminiFourth couple is also cute !
Love this series !

GAY LOSERS KALDNNAKS
Al principio no me convencía mucho pero estoy agradecido de que le di una oportunidad.Recurre al típico cliché del chabón súper hiper mega green flag que lleva enamorado hace 10 años del mismo tipo q apenas lo conoce y le hablo una vez, pero lo sabe usar MUY bien. Normalmente ese tropo no me gusta y hace que los dos protagonistas me parezcan infumables. Acá todo lo contrario, no podría querer más a Gun y a Tinn. La trama y dinámica que tienen los personajes es muy buena y da para mucho. Los actores son unos capos se roban totalmente el show. Es más, antes de esto no era mucho de fanear a los actores pero Gemini y Fourth me robaron el corazón. Me ví todas sus demás series y me la paso viendo videos de ellos. En general amé a todos los personajes. Especialmente me encariñe mucho con Tiw, yo a él le confío todo.
Mi única queja es que necesitaba más de Tiw y el tecladista este q no me acuerdo el nombre. Y algunas veces win o gun me parecían medio pelotudos pero fuera de eso, todo bien.
Serie EXCELENTE, Incluso me atrevo a llamarla de lo mejor que tiene la gmmtv. Con esto revivió el romance. Necesito más series tranquis de boludos homosexuales q se enamoran, nada más.

Не можешь сказать - пой или поставь любимую песню.
Лакорн о жизни старшей школы в Таиланде, о поисках молодежи себя в этой жизни. Однозначно в любимые. На первый взгляд кажется простой сюжет, снова о школьной жизни и жизни внутри, но это не так. Сюжет реально уже избит, но как нам его тут подали - это очень ново. у всех в этой школе есть цели и в отличии от других сюжетов, здесь все идут к цели по доброму. Как играют все актеры. Эта мощная передача эмоций, понимание без слов. В последнее время я много читала отзывов и они меня сильно раздражали, так как людям нужен был кекс по полной и поцелуи, чтобы прям до копчика. Если вы один из них (кто сейчас читает мой отзыв), то сразу скажу - не пишите свое фи, тут сюжет который с вами говорит, а то что вы ищете. Здесь отличная химия взглядов, взаимодействие, дружба, поддержка. Разговор, если не словами, то музыкой. А музыка, как мы знаем, она от всего. Есть музыка которая может убить или ранить, здесь та разговорная музыка - которой вы можете общаться. Родители. Родители, мы своего рода тоже ученики в жизни и здесь это тоже прекрасно показано. Как стать гаванью покоя своему ребенку. Будет, будет ложка дегтя здесь. В лице "педагога". Почему кавычки? Потому, что нам через "педагога" показывают тех "имеющих статус" взрослых, которые должны быть примером, приоритетом в мнении - а по сути - это токсичное существо, которое и счастья не видел и счастье и успех других вызывает лишь зависть и обиду.я, впервые за долгое время испытываю грусть от завершения просмотра. Мне ужасно не хочется расставаться ни с одним героем этого лакорна. Родители попадают в топ лучших моего списка. Всем приятного просмотра и пусть этот заряд позитива и добра, сохранится с вами на долгое время. Всем кто работал над проектом, я говорю спасибо и БРАВО. ОНИ ЛУЧШИЕ.
Lakorn is about high school life in Thailand, about the youth's search for themselves in this life. Definitely a favorite. At first glance, it seems like a simple plot, again about school life and life inside, but it's not. The plot is really already beaten up, but how it was served to us here is very new. everyone in this school has goals and unlike other stories, everyone here goes to the goal in a kind way. How all the actors play. This powerful transfer of emotions, understanding without words. I've been reading a lot of reviews lately and they annoyed me a lot, because people needed a cupcake in full and kisses to get straight to the coccyx. If you are one of them (who is reading my review now), then I will say right away - do not write your fi, there is a plot that speaks to you, but what you are looking for. There is a great chemistry of views, interaction, friendship, support. Conversation, if not with words, then with music. And music, as we know, is from everything. There is music that can kill or hurt, here is the conversational music that you can communicate with. Parents. Parents, we are also kind of students in life, and this is also perfectly shown here. How to become a haven of peace for your child. There will be, there will be a fly in the ointment here. In the person of a "teacher". Why quotation marks? Because we are shown through a "teacher" those "having the status" of adults who should be an example, a priority in opinion - and in fact - this is a toxic being who has not seen happiness and the happiness and success of others causes only envy and resentment.
I, for the first time in a long time, feel sad at the end of the viewing. I really don't want to part with any of the heroes of this lacorn. Parents get into the top of the best of my list. Have a nice viewing to everyone and let this charge of positivity and kindness remain with you for a long time. To everyone who worked on the project, I say thank you and BRAVO. THEY'RE THE BEST.

最強の青春タイBL
「よくある学園もののBLなんだろうな…」そう思い視聴し始めた私は、1話のラストで叫ぶことになります。
ありふれているようで、どこにもなかった作品です。

muy pocas veces una serie logra ser mi lugar de comfort
dios, de verdad que no tengo palabras para explicar lo mucho que amé esta serie. es una de las pocas veces en las que de verdad no tengo nada para criticar. nada me molestó, no hubo ninguna escena incómoda ni poco realista. solamente una historia de amor adolescente de la cual nacen ramas que tocan temas serios y profundos como la pérdida de un ser querido, la homofobia, la presión de tener que satisfacer siempre a los demás, el vínculo familiar que se logra con los amigos, una relación sana de padres e hijos, dar todo de uno mismo e igual enfrentar el fracaso, entre otras.la puntuación máxima que me deja darle al ost es un 10, pero se merece un 100, sin dudas. todas las canciones las agregué a mi playlist, todos tienen voces hermosas y lograron tenerme cantando todas las canciones durante todo el día mientras hago mis cosas.
si hay algo que me encanta de esta nueva generación de bls es el hecho de que se está dejando la toxicidad que tanto se había normalizado de lado. my school president debe ser la historia más sana y adorable de todas las series bls que existen. es como un heartstopper tailandés ?
la química entre gemini y fourth lo hizo todo tan llevadero, estoy entusiasmada por ver más proyectos de ellos juntitos. recién empiezan en la industria pero su actuación es impecable, tienen un futuro súper prometedor lleno de éxito!
es increíble cómo me logró atrapar desde el primer episodio — nada de dramas innecesarios ni de negar los sentimientos como por 10 capítulos. el apoyo de tinn hacía gun me hacía sentir mariposas en el estómago, se los juro. la historia no se hizo pesada para nada, es liviana, divertida pero también tiene sus momentos serios. me encanta la manera en la que muestra lo que es la adolescencia y todas las situaciones que ella conlleva. por eso, también es una gran serie para volver a ver las veces que uno quiera.
my school president fue mi "lugar" de comfort y seguramente volveré a ella cuando empiece a extrañar al presidente escolar más enamorado del mundo (spoiler: ya lo hago). de verdad, no hay nada más lindo que una serie bien hecha, con grandes actores, un buen soundtrack, protagonistas con química, y una historia capaz de brindarles paz mental a la gente que la mira.
la recomiendo mil veces si estás buscando algo tierno, liviano y de muuuy buena calidad! ♡

Que bonito
Una serie muy fácil de ver por lo entretenida que es, tiene mucha comedia y personajes muy dulces y un poco inmaduros (lo cual suma realismo), con un romance que se desarrolla lentamente (demasiado para mí gusto) y avecees un poquito cliché PERO con muchos matices, contando la historia de un joven que atraviesa miles de dificultades para cumplir su sueño.Las personalidades son coherentes y tienen un buen desarrollo, en especial para los últimos capítulos dónde demuestran que no solo su fuerte es la comedia y logran reflejar súper bien el sentimiento ante una derrota, las frustraciones y sensaciones que te permiten empatizar con todos y emocionarte un montón.
Criticas_ Las parejas secundarias aportaron muy poco para mí gusto, se me hizo un poco larga la espera para el beso y me pareció demasiado tirado de los pelos la "regla única", pero está serie te hace amar a los personajes y disfrutarla un montonazo, me saco mil sonrisas y la recomiendo mucho!

HEALTHY Relationships
Where to start... First of all, the relationship was very HEALTHY, and if there is one thing I love about BL Dramas, it's that both main characters in the relationship are on the same page, and there will be no toxicity involved in the end.STORY:
The story felt pretty generic in the first episode, but I got fooled when I saw episode 2 where they switched POV from Bandleader "Gun" to the School President "Tinn". With that, we not only get to see Gun's side but also Tinn's, and later a bit of the supporting characters who also had some interesting things going on. They weren't in the focus as much, but that was fine in my opinion since they were still a big part of the story.
I don't want to spoil too much about the story. I will just say that the buildup to the next "arc" was perfectly implemented.
CHARACTERS:
Gun and Tinn have very different personalities, but somehow they made them so damn compatible with each other. It's also very interesting how I first thought, "Oh, I know what kind of guy he is" - because I was so wrong. Especially about Tinn. I thought Tinn was some strict asshole, but holy shit, no. He's shy and a gay mess.
Side Characters/Ships:
With them being a band, I was initially worried they would write the rest as NPCs, just there for the music, since that's a common thing in dramas/TV shows with a music genre. But nope. Every character mattered because with one of them missing, they wouldn't be THE Band.
"Win" is the hot-headed friend who says aloud what he thinks before thinking, but he always means well and apologizes when he's wrong.
"Sound" - I didn't like him at first. He appeared like 2/3 episodes later, and my first impression was that he was some prick. But that's what the series wanted you to think of him because, in a sense, he is that. But he's also a very thoughtful boy who just wants the best for the band and has a love for music. He just takes it a bit more seriously than the other boys. He and Win are very different, but just like Gun and Tinn, even though they are so different, they are indeed a perfect match.
"Por" is somebody who, I have to admit, I didn't really feel for until like episode 8. Like, he wasn't bad or anything, he was funny, but he just got really "loud" later on for specific reasons. But I thought when he got good screen time, they did the right thing. His highlight moment was great.
"Tiw," unlike the other supporting characters, is not a band member but a member of the student council team and also the best friend of Tinn. And wow, let me tell you, he is just the BEST matchmaker ever! Sometimes I felt like he was speaking for the audience, and I loved that. Tiw and Por are also a "ship," but it happens very late, which I found very sad, to be honest. But I guess that was because Por didn't get that much attention until later. But it was alright.
"Yo" is nice and also got a little bit of a storyline, which I found very cute.
"Phat" is probably the only one with little to no story, but that's literally so basic for the drummer of a band. But then again, I felt like it was fine. He did his part in the main story and was an overall great character.
Overall, we have a great number of characters with different kinds of personalities and interests, which I always find
Other than that, we also have the parents who I find very interesting. Gun's and Tinn's mothers are so different from each other, but both work so well. I really, really loved them. They are truly wonderful parents.
ACTING:
That's something I loved the most here, actually. You can tell how well the actors work with each other.
Music:
Incredible. Not saying much. I don't understand the language, but I always have a smile on my face. Wonderful.
Oh, and the intro is also very nice!
Rewatch Value:
This has rewatch value - something I might actually rewatch in a year or so.
Dislike?
Well, I wasn't much of a fan of the silly sounds they popped in here and there. I know that's just how they produced it, but when I watched the first episode, I needed some time getting used to it, haha
TLTR;
The BL drama has a healthy relationship between the main characters, Gun and Tinn, and the story is initially generic but becomes more interesting as it switches perspectives and builds up to the next arc. The characters, including the supporting ones, are well-developed and their dynamics within the band are explored. The parents of Gun and Tinn are also interesting and well-portrayed. The acting is great, and the music is incredible, even though I don't understand the language. The intro is nice, and the series has rewatch value. The only dislike is the occasional use of silly sounds, but overall, it's an enjoyable drama.

Un agréable retour à l'adolescence.
En visionnant cette série, ça m’a rappelé le temps où je regardais des films et des séries de Disney Channel. Le style est le même, mais en version BL. Est-ce que ce retour à l’adolescence est pour me déplaire? Pas le moins du monde. L’amour mignon et innocent, l’humour bien dosé, l’ambiance musicale… Tout est présent pour faire passer un agréable moment à celui qui sait l’apprécier.Le couple de Tinn (Gemini Norawit) et Gun (Fourth Nattawat) est adorable. Ce cher président a un faible pour le musicien depuis le début du lycée, mais toutes ses précédentes tentatives d’approches se sont soldées par des échecs. C’est seulement le jour où il prend les rênes du conseil étudiant qu’il se fait enfin remarquer, même si pour cela, il doit devenir le «méchant ». J’ai toujours eu un faible pour les béguins de longues durées, donc ça m’a fortement plu. J’ai aimé la façon dont les garçons deviennent de bons amis avant de tomber amoureux. Ils sont collants, drôles et ils ont une magnifique complicité. Ces deux-là n’ont pas besoin de s’embrasser pour laisser paraitre toutes leur amour (OK, je ne vais pas mentir, j’ai attendu le baiser impatiemment, mais il faut comprendre que les acteurs sont très jeunes.).
Gemini et Fourth ont su comment gagner le cœur du public dans ce premier rôle. À peine âgés de 18 ans aujourd’hui, ces deux jeunes acteurs sont bourrés de talent et déjà promis à un avenir radieux dans le milieu du divertissement. Je comprends l’engouement qui les entoure actuellement. Ils étaient parfois maladroits dans leur interprétation, mais c’est pardonnable.
J’ai eu un gros faible pour le couple secondaire composé de Win (Winny Thanawin) et de Sound (Satang Kittiphop). Ayant tout deux un caractère de cochon, j’ai aimé la façon dont leur relation passe de la haine à l’amour. J’aurais aimé les voir davantage à l’écran. Sound est un personnage arrogant, mais très intéressant. Avec Win, il devient doux. J’espère revoir ces acteurs travailler ensemble en duo dans une prochaine série. (Je sais qu’ils étaient aussi dans Fish Upon The Sky et Star And Sky, mais pas en tant que couple).
Une mention spéciale pour Thiu (Mark Pakin) qui mérite le titre du meilleur ami de l’année. Il a toujours été là pour Tinn et l’a aidé à mettre au point ses plans de drague. J’espère que dans Our Skyy 2, on va découvrir qu’il est enfin en couple avec le mignon Por (Ford Arun). Ce personnage est la définition même du mot mignon.
Toutes les chansons sont bonnes. Les acteurs ont de magnifiques voix, aucun ne fait exception. Je ne me lasse pas de les écouter dans ma voiture.
Bref, si vous voulez passer un agréable moment, foncez et regardez cette série.

Espetacular
Que dorama incrível!!!My school president é um bl fofo, leve, bonito e divertido. É tão descontraído que num piscar de olhos eu já estava no último ep.
A história é muito fofa e reconfortante, nada muito complexo, mas ainda sim muito linda. Ela mostra a adolescência de um jeito divertido, aborda as dificuldades e importância entre as amizades, os sentimentos durante um amor, o amor familiar e a luta pra seguir atrás dos seus sonhos, mas abordado de modo de um jovem vivenciando tudo. Mesmo sendo uma série mais leve, ainda sim abordou assuntos muito importantes e de um jeito ideal!
A atuação é excelente, todos os atores atuaram tão bem que eles conseguiram transmitir todo os sentimentos que seus personagens queriam transmitir.
O casal principal tem uma química impecável, só de ver eles dividindo um momento fofo juntos já deixava meu coração quentinho, são perfeitos um pro outro. Eles conseguiram demonstrar perfeitamente o amor que os personagens sentem e transmitir o quão linda e pura a relação deles é.
A trilha sonora é esplêndida! inigualável! eu amei todas as musicas de verdade, são tão lindas, me deixaram até emocionada(isso pq eu n me emociono fácil).
Na primeira cena que passou com eles cantando uma música mais sentimental eu já pensei "kkkk mds que brega" pra 20 segundos depois eu estar literalmente chorando, foi uma cena linda demais!! Em nenhum momento passou vergonha alheia.
Não posso deixar de mencionar o conceito da banda no bl que se encaixou perfeitamente e me deixou encantada por eles.
Resumindo, um dos melhores que eu já assisti, recomendo muito, vale a pena demais ter uma experiência tão boa que é assistir um bl tão lindo igual esse. Já entrou pros favoritos!!
