The sweetest and adorable series that you guys will need to watch!!
It has the best trope and the sweet cute interactions even though there is no kiss scene (i am a kiss scene addict) but it felt like there is no need of kiss scene here in every scene because they words and actions express everything and the chemistry is perfect they have spent over a year being together so of course the chemistry is good and the story is very good and unpredictable at some times and last ep was wholesome!!! The visuals of the actors are what we all need in our life i am not only talking about the main leads but even they friends look good. And it's ost is perfect 🤌🏻. I tell every bl watcher to watch it, it's perfect.❤️Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

a shoulder to cry on
I have watched a decent amount of kdrama bls, and this is a very creative one as a girl that loves school setting kdramas, and especially enemies to lovers, I loved this. but I hated yechan character at the start because I hate when people put the blame on someone for something they didn’t do for example trying to hurt taeyuns character sexualy. so that made me angry, and there were a lot of plus moments in this for example I loved the ear kiss at the end, and this kdrama also led me to find out that both of these boys are in a KPOP group called omega x and now this group is my entire life! Stan omega x 💋Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Nice series but a bit lacking
I enjoyed the series but needs a lot of work. All felt one sided. Characters are fun and can be light hearted. It has a lot of toxic moments sadly. Horrible teachers and adults that clearly don't care who is right or wrong, students that don't get punished ever. The Series can feel annoying at times with the characters and direction. At time it all felt over done and other times it showed hardcore mental abuse and illness, don't know where to put your emotions making you like and then hate some characters. The series has some cute tender moments but very toxic at times relationship with friends and couple. The series had a lot of promising moments but then feels very rushed and at moments gaps are missing that don't help explain one moment of emotion to the next, can be a mess at times. Over all it's a nice series but lacks true story development. The real sad part was not even a kiss 😭Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Prometeu e cumpriu
Esse ano tem sido o ano da Coréia... sempre trazendo plots criativos e bem desenvolvidos. Pra mim, a maior surpresa desse BL (já vi 3 vezes), é o fato de que o protagonismo não está no relacionamento dos dois, e sim nas histórias de vida de cada um, com ênfase em Tae Hyun, que inicialmente é o típico personagem insuportável, mas à medida que vamos descobrindo suas camadas e percebendo o lindo coração escondido em meio ao medo do mundo, da rejeição, da dor da perda, da solidão e traumas. No lugar dele, eu também teria medo de pessoas, iria preferir que sentissem qualquer sentimento que as afastasse, não importa se medo, repulsa, nojo, contanto que não se aproximassem. Em algum momento achei que o amigo dele sentia algo por ele, devido à sua aversão pelo outro, mas jamais saberei da resposta hehehe. Também focaram em um esporte que não é tão explorado assim, e as relações esportivas foram interessantes.No início da série, ao ver o comportamento dele, eu imaginei que fosse apenas mais um clichê de aluno valentão que se apaixona por um CDF, ledo engano
...
Quando eles se separaram e reencontraram, apesar de não existirem beijos calientes e cenas N/C, o carinho entre os dois aqueceu meu coração. Achei que o foco exclusivo no casal foi devido à série ter menos EPS que o normal, já que normalmente são 8 e ela só teve 7, então contar histórias secundárias faria perder um tempo precioso de nossos protas.
Nos aspectos técnicos a Coréia nunca deixa a desejar, da atuação à filmografia, tudo é feito minuciosamente para nos encantar. Enfim, não há como não recomendar! Amo essa série, e em menos de três horas vc vê essa obra de arte inteira.

The acting was good, their eye contact was sizzling. Their friend group was really cute and made me smile.
If you want to watch angsty school romance/bromance with some good acting you can go for it.

Everything about this was disappointing :(
I thought I would really enjoy this because 1) It involves sports (I LOVE SPORTS-THEMED SHOWS!) and 2) the rivals-to-lovers trope usually never fails to sizzle. In this series, both aspects managed to fall miserably flat.Dayeol was a fairly bland character and I seriously struggled to connect to him in the earlier episodes.
The other character, Tae-hyun, was slightly more interesting. I appreciated that underlying his extroverted, playful behaviour is a tragic backstory. This provided more context and complexity to his character, but overall I didn’t really enjoy watching him.
Taehyun was way too much of an emotional trainwreck for me to root for the couple. There was also no satisfying resolution to their conflict, let alone meaningful character development. What a baffling happily-ever-after.

Could have been amazing
TW: suicide, self-harm, homophobia, bullyingThis is not a bad drama if you are mindful of all of its trigger warnings and tags. One of my biggest issues with this series is the lack of trigger warnings despite the semi-explicit depiction of self-harm and a very clear implication of suicide.
But let's talk about the good first.
I highly enjoy the friendship and the scenes of them just enjoying each other's company is so lovely to watch. Not all interactions are romantically charged and I highly appreciated that they got the chance to develop a solid friendship first before any romance develops. There are also a lot of emotionally raw moments between the two main leads which were so enchanting to see on screen.
I also appreciate the first time-skip. Any relationship that they develop between them in that high school period would be nothing less than traumatizing for both of them. It is clear that TaeHyun is not ready for any sort of emotional attachment due to his past trauma, and it was clear that he was going to project all of his emotional insecurities unto DaYeol if they became a couple at that point. I appreciate that after the 2-year time-skip, he had enough reflection time that he recognized his own emotional misgivings and kind of just promised to do better. He was emotionally aware enough that he is not ready for a relationship at that point but he will work towards it. That in itself is a huge character development from his initial selfishness.
Now let's talk about things that could have been done better:
1. Trigger warnings, as I mentioned previously.
2. Second time skip was so unnecessary. I wanted to actually see the effort that TaeHyun put into improving himself and winning DaYeol over, but instead we got another lazy writing in the form of time skip. Maybe it's the lack of budget or whatever, but if that was the case, then they should have properly divided the amount of highschool screentime and college screentime.
3. First episode was extremely hard to watch due to how malicious Won Kyung and Tae Hyun are. It was not harmless jokes, they actually accused DaYeol of SA. It was also disturbing how the adults handled the supposedly SA situation - they actually did not take it seriously at all, and the nurse was shown to be more homophobic than actually caring about a student being supposedly SA'd.
4. No real consequence to homophobia. I know this happens in the real world too but I have anger issues and I was itching to punch some bitches in this series.
5. I can't see the physical attraction between the two leads. I am completely fine with the lack of kissing or physical intimacy - my favourite BL of all time is The Untamed. However, there is just no tension or any signs of physical attraction at all between these two male leads.
I don't think I can every bring myself to rewatch this ever again even though it had some real cute moments.

la vas amar, por qué yo lo hice
creo que está serie es muy buena, la química de los actores se nota en su actuación, y creo que es por qué se conocen desde hace mucho, pero si me preguntan por una serie que recomendaría sin duda pensaría en esta, la recomiendo mucho para esas personas que van iniciando en el mundo del BL, ya que es más dulce y no es tan fuerte como otras series, se enfoca más en lo emocional que en el contacto físico y creo que es por qué corea todavía no está preparado para aceptar estos pequeños cambios socialmenteVond je deze recentie nuttig?

A little heavy handed with the trauma, but worth the watch
A solid show but has a rushed ending. I know that we shouldn't complain about the endings of BLs, but like I'm going to anyways. Don't mind a time skip, when it makes sense, and it really did in this show because Jo Tae Hyun needed to heal and grow independently before being in a committed relationship and we love characters that are self-aware, I just felt the chemistry was a little lacking when they actually "got together". The hotel...? scene was cute but I wished there had just been a little more. Don't mind that they didn't kiss, and it makes sense since the two main leads are in the same group, but I don't know how else to explain it, just wanted a little more from the ending.Would 100% recommend though, especially to those who are new to BL or just Korean dramas in general. Solid acting, chemistry, and sad backstories (which we love and appreciate).

Lovely story but the last two episodes...
I really liked the drama. Ngl the first two episodes were hard to watch since I firstly had to understand why Taehyeon behaves the way he did. But after we got to know more about his past, everything became easier to understand and to follow (about his behavior). The last two episodes were extremely rushed and this took the romance completely away. I just wished for more romance since we barely got any. This doesn't take the fact that this drama is still really good and both of the actors did a great job. :)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
