This drama was about two close friends who lived next door to each other since young, went to school together every day, did almost everything together, even sleeping together on a single bed in each other’s houses almost every night and waking each other up every day. Basically, the best of friends. However, as time went by, they gradually realized that their feelings for each other were not mere friendship and best of friends.

In the first few episodes, Seeiw (Earth), one of the main leads, whined so much like a childish kid. He had not many friends, no hobbies, basically only had Cake (Santa), the other male lead, in his life and spent his time whining and acting cute in front of him. Fortunately, this was not the first time I saw this actor, otherwise I would have been totally put off by him. I thought Earth’s character would get better as the episodes moved. Yes, he did stop whining, but unfortunately something about his character was not pleasing to me throughout. I just didn’t like the portrayal of his character.

I thought the story would improve after Cake left for overseas and they became older. Unfortunately, it did not and then Seeiw’s mother passed away. I understood the emotional toll it took on the family, but the entire incident took too many episodes and just too much crying and all these with nothing else happening.

I did not enjoy this drama from the start, but I did not think about dropping it because I was hoping that the story would improve or there would be some sort of a twist that would make the story more interesting so I stuck with it, but no, it just continued to be boring and underwhelming, with uninspiring acting from the main leads and the entire cast, all the way to the end. The main leads' chemistry with each other, something that was so important in a BL, was nothing to talk about. And was it just me, but I felt everything in this drama was just so old-fashioned, the filming location, the acting, the dialogues, the props, etc., all honestly in a negative way, it was too simple to the point of underwhelming. At first I thought it was filmed based on the 1970s but no it was like 2002 in the drama if I remember correctly.

It took me months to finish this drama even though it was only 12 episodes and was actually glad I finally completed watching it. The ending was satisfying in a way that all loose knots were tied with nothing hanging, but even so, it could not compensate the entire story. Of course, I would not recommend it, there are far better BLs out there and BLs aside, there are far better stories and acting out there than this.

And on why the title was ‘My only 12%’ because apparently 12% is the probability that the one you love would love you back. I wonder how true this is...
