Best Friends Forever.
A pretty good coming-to-age C drama if you are a fan of the high school best friend troupe.
The best part of the show was the fat suit the ML wore for a few episodes. The make-up on his face was so good. I was trying to find where his skin began and where the fake mask was attached. I really enjoyed the parts where he was struggling with his weight.
I wouldn't call this a romance per say, but more of a slow burn, I-have-feelings-for-my-best-friend romance. The main story of the show is about friendships especially within the main group of kids.
I thought the casting was really good. I liked that the leads were 24 and 25 in real life, so they weren't too young and the acting really shines through. I thought the chemistry is really good and felt like they actually liked each other as friends.
The dialogue and banter was really good and there wasn't too much angst in the show. The kids went through everyday life issues, for I.e. a non-approving parent, or a biased teacher or loving a crush from afar.
I do think the drama was a touch too long. They probably should have stuck to the typical 24 episode length C dramas usually do for rom-coms. The last few episodes where it focuses on the Dad's healthy was just too much.
I do wish it could have been a little more like "A love so Beautiful" where you got some episodes where they were outside of high school and working in the real world, but it's a high school drama, so there you go (and you get one at least).
Overall, it was entertaining, funny and the acting was good.
