United Win (2022)

Friendship goals

This was a light-hearted and funny series, that managed to throw in some serious subject matter. Following primarily the relationships between the various boys of the school track and field team. Giving me a true sense of great writing, because they honestly were perfect friends. Always there for each other, always helped each other... without looking for anything at all in return. This series gave me family and friends, which is totally what I love to see, but they had real natural drama, not the kind that requires a fight and tears, but the kind that has you feeling for the characters because it hits close to home. The actors brought their A game to their roles, making their characters pain, happiness and confusion seem real. The lack of rediculous drama also made them feel like the children down the street, with real problems and the actors brought the personalities to life with ease.

Thankfully it had no cliché drama to speak of, but did touch on some serious issues of poverty and how it affects the children that care enough to know what their parents are going through to provide for them, especially for a single parent household. Bullying was also added to the mix and they did it masterfully, letting it play out naturally giving the audience a sense of placement within the story, making judgements based on what little we know. Teaching real lessons that it's not good to judge a book by its cover.

The ending unfortunately felt really underdeveloped and abrupt. The last couple episodes introduced so many new elements into the best friends lives, but the series ended before we could know what truly happened. However, as disappointing as this was, it was still an amazing series that touched all the right feels.

Friendship and Team work

I loved it and the cast did a great job. It was funny as hell in some parts. I watched it on utube thinking it was a Bl due to advertising it as "My roommate is a scholar" "Wrong". Then i read a review that told me the correct name. Its more of a Bromance of two new friends that are seat and roomates in a all boy school that take care of each other 1 rich and 1 poor. It touched on so many topic that HS students are experiencing such as bullying, defending and helping the weak, misunderstanding, true friendship and respecting each other. It was a great mini series, but i felt there were a few area that could have been explored more especially his mom i felt it ended abruptly. Hope there is a part 2
Have a great watch on utube
