The moment Phuwin's character said he could make a rainbow, I was like, 'Of course you can make a rainbow, LMAO, Pond, come collect your man, he's out here wildin'. Also, am I the only one lowkey shipping White and Ivy? Cuz like, they could work, right? no?

I admit, I did not expect this show to be good. Matter of fact, I went in expecting a lot of awkward acting, nonsense misunderstanding, childish overacting, over the top reactions with lots of cliches and to drop it after the first episode. Good to say, I was pleasantly surprised, cuz it's better than I imagined. Phuwin and Dunk's acting is waay better here than the bls I'd seen them in. Like, watching Phuwin in 'We Are' had me yelling 'Child, what are you doing with your eyebrows, did you take acting lessons from a block of cheese?' but here, he's not so bad. His character is supposed to be a loner, brooding loser, and he plays it quite well. Same for Dunk, when I saw him in Hidden Agenda I was like... so they letting everybody and their mamas be actors these days huh?... but here his acting is quite good as well. I like seeing how they've improved, hopefully they take it to their next projects as well.

Though, I'm not holding my breath when it comes to 'kissing' if there is anyone. Not sure they'd improve in that, cuz with what Phuwin gave me in 'We Are' I am sure Star would be better off making out with one of those footballs she likes playing. Literally, am still wondering what the hell that beside the canoe kiss between PondPhuwin was. Homeboy acted like he was afraid of lips.

Now, listen, Dunk and Phuwin could be twins, in certain scenes they look almost identical. But, when you look closer they could be oceans apart, still sometimes I have to do a double take. Anywho, yes, I admit again, that I watched this drama only because I wanted to see how bl actors are like in roles with female leads, and---I'm not disappointed. They are actually good. And the plot is interesting, the production is great, and it's managed to keep my interest. I hope the rest of the episodes remains as good.

That being said, the characters so far aren't so flashed, and remains almost one-dimensional. There's been no major growth yet, and nothing stands out much when it comes to the leads. We have your typical oh-so-special female lead with lots of achievements, who everyone adores and have put on a pedestal, but she's feels she's so much more, cuz deep down she loves a band only few has heard of and she's a secret geek with great skin, hair and beauty. You know, typical mary sues. But this one plays football and wants to be more than her mother and every sees her us.

The two leads fighting over her are also your run-of-the-mill cliche love-interests. The one who would clearly lose is popular, have a troubled past of being a 'bad-boy' and he's cool. Though this one is not obnoxious and it's kind. Then of course, the main male lead is a loser, but he's understanding, a good guy, and just the breath of air the female lead needed. So yeah, nothing different here, we all know where the plot is going, but I'm still looking forward to how they'd execute it. I have yet to see any in-depth dive to the characters. We got to see how Lune became the way he is, and that's been basically it so far, so I'm looking forward to see how each character will grow.

This is my first lakorn. I didn't want to make it my first, cuz I felt it's gonna be another high-school drama with nonsense misunderstanding that makes my blood boils, but so far, it's managed to not annoy me. Yes, the plot is nothing we haven't seen before, and the problems the characters are facing are very much what you'd expect, but the actors are doing their parts and plot doesn't feel stale.

WHAT I LIKE:
- Jewel and Tan: The slow development of the relationship between these two is great. I love their interactions so far, and they don't even know each others name. I was laughing so hard when Tan was talking about the hardship in his life, and Jewel was like, 'Yeah, I understand, sometimes I don't know what to wear cuz I have too much cloths. CHILD! That's not...we are not on the same page! That's not even remotely relatable. He was basically like, I'm soo rich, it's exhausting. And Tan just stared like, 'now, I know this bish aint serious' skskkss. Oh, I can't wait to see how these two ends up.
- How effortlessly Lune and Star's relationship developed, and how warm they feel. Like it felt so natural and not forced at all.
- I wanted to throw tiny rocks at Lune when he rejected Star, but I understood, bros-before-hos and whatnot, still.
- How Lune realised her feelings and confessed without dragging it out.
- White deciding to adopt the loner kid and making him feel included, love characters like that. And also how he was like 'you took/stole my first kiss, help me practice kissing.'

WHAT AM LOOKING FORWARD TO
- White finding out about Star and Lune. How is he going to take it? Would there be drama? Cuz am here for drama!
- Jewel and Tan getting together -- I can already see myself grinning like an idiot when they do.
- Whatever is happening with White and Ivy, cuz I lowkey ship that. Or is it going to be an Ivy, Star thing?
- Another girl, the ex, Sera has showed up, so I'm wondering how thats gonna play out. Would there be a triangle?

If you are hesitant about watching it, give the first episode a try and I'm sure you'd come to like it.

PS: This is not my final rating. I'll be back to write my full review with rating after the finale.

Fingers crossed that this show does not end up disappointing me, cuz I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series.
