SOTUS VIBES BUT NOT QUITE: COMPLEX AND REALISTIC
I always like starting my reviews by saying that when a series has a complex/problematic plot, then it is not meant to be for everyone. And this GL is one of those stories. If you do not like series with a bunch of misunderstandings, a lot of problems, or other similar things, then I do NOT recommend you to watch this. This series deals with a lot of misunderstandings and problems in a relationship, and I feel like they have done a GREAT JOB at keeping it REALISTIC. There is so many couples out there that go through similar problems like in this series, and it's good for those problems to be portrayed in series so that people don't feel alone and feel related to them. While others can take this series as a lesson to keep in mind of things they should avoid in their relationship, and to always be aware. I also think this series did a good job in portraying immature young college students who have problems in their love life, and how they can fix those things together with COMMUNICATION and TRUST. Those two things were missing in the first couple's relationship. And I think now that they have their happy ending, they will be able to fix things and not make the same mistakes from the past. Relationships are NOT perfect, and I like that they tried to portray that in this series.
STORY:
I am going to be completely honest right now. Stories like these are not always my favorite to watch. However, just because the plot is complicated and problematic, it does not mean it is a bad story. After finishing the series, I can say that I enjoyed it despite of the ups and downs it had. Like I mentioned above, I like how realistic this story is. It is about a young couple who is dealing with problems in their relationship. And through those problems, they learn and grow together. That is what I love about the story. It also has a happy ending, which makes it even better cause at some point in the story, you kind of loose hope, but then they give us the happy ending the main couple deserves. Overall, I would give the story 7 out of 10 just because it is not my cup of tea, but it is still enjoyable to watch.
ACTING/CASTING:
I love the cast, and I love watching edits of them on tiktok! I think you can easily get attached to them as you watch the series more and more. They acted very well despite of their complicated roles, but I also believe there is still a lot of space to improve. Every character here is attractive despite of their flaws, and they will make you fall in love eventually. The chemistry is on point as well! I love it! my favorite couple was the second one though! I don't know why I always end up liking second couples more lol. But anyways, I will give the acting and casting an 8 out of 10.
MUSIC/REWATCH VALUE:
The music was okay. I do see myself listening to the intro again, but it is not my favorite. So, I will give it a 7.5 out of 10. And the rewatch value will be a 7.5 out of 10 too because I do see myself rewatching this eventually (if I miss it too much lmao!).
Anyways, my overall rating for this GL series is 8 out of 10. I think it deserves it. I like how this series brought me back to those days when I watched SOTUS the series (BL). Those days were memorable. And even though they are not the same, I still love them equally. Please do NOT drop this without at least giving it a chance. Try to watch it with the perspective that you will learn something from it. At least, that's how I see it. But do not feel forced! Thank you for reading!
