Wasted Potential
**Brief Synopsis**
B (Student): Ayan
T (Student): Akk
Beginning: B and T are both students at a prestigious all boys academy known for their strict rules. A rumor has it that a curse exists that will punish all rule breakers and if things get out of control, the whole school might be impacted. B is a transfer student who transferred to this school to investigate what is going on and what happened to his uncle to lead to his suicide. T is a perfect, in charge of enforcing the rules. B and T begin their relationship on the wrong foot. Because B thinks T is brainwashed and don't care about the other students and T thinks B is trouble and should be supervised at all times to prevent him from breaking rules. But despite everything attraction starts forming between them, not that they would admit.
Throughout the series, B is busy trying to find evidence of this school's wrongdoing and T is trying to find evidence of B's wrongdoing so he could get him expelled. To complete this plan, T needs the note book B has been writing in and to get that notebook, he starts following him around (and maybe get more info on him). And the more he learns about B the more he sympathizes with him and he start realizing that maybe there was more to the picture then what he can see. But no matter how his feelings might be changing, there is a constant fight between his sense of duty towards the school and his own feelings. Later on, it is revealed that in order to maintain piece, T came up with the idea of the curse and did a lot of things to make the non conformers think they are in danger.
Towards the end, it is revealed that the school's corrupt system has lead to the uncle's suicide. However, the school continued to function and nothing seemed to have changed except for more inclusive rules because they realized just how much harm the rules were doing. T who nearly killed someone wasn't even punished for his actions. At the end, with the truth revealed, B finally relaxes and he and T could finally be together with T having finally admitted his feelings.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I DID LIKE ABOUT IT
- The acting is really good in emotional scenes. The crying is phenomenal and we could feel what the characters are feeling.
- The pacing is okay although the revelation at the end was a little rushed. The pacing for the relationship is a little rushed. From what we could see onscreen, they should have had time to become friends but definitely not enough time to develop feelings. Its just not realistic.
- The way the framed the mystery captivates you and makes you want to watch towards the end even if the ending didn't exactly pay off. The mystery convinced me to continue watching until the end but because I couldn't stand the other characters, I would skip to Ayan. The conclusion was disappointing as I thought there would be more to it.
WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- The whole school system presented. I know that the goal of the show is to show us an oppressive and corrupt school system but that doesn't make it less pleasant to see evidence of it. The school is more like a cult then a school. T is the perfect example of that. He was willing to potentially injure someone to uphold the rules. He didn't even think of the consequences of his actions.
- T wasn't punished for his actions. Just admitting his wrongdoing isn't enough. It's like just because your attacker apologized he shouldn't be punished for his actions.
- T's character is just not likable. He doesn't give us any reason for B to like him. Like is based on trust and B doesn't even trust him, believes he store his notebook even though he knows how important it is to him. Their relationship is just not very healthy if that are both guarded toward each other. There is buildup but the buildup just isn't believable or make me want to root for them.
- No plot twists or memorable moments. The mystery felt so flat at the end. It didn't live up to the excitement I was feeling in the first few episodes.
**Conclusion**
A very tiring show to watch with mostly unlikable characters, because of the plot.
