Why Are U Gay? Who Says I'm Gay?... You Are Gay.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO000. Dafug you mean this isn't a BL? All that tension is wasted on a bromance? Look, being friends is nice, best-friends even nicer, but these two talks/look at each other like they wanna declare their undying love. Personally, I think they should kiss each others faces and get married... cuz that tension/chemistry/dialogue is not of the only friends nature at all! Also, half of this cast should have died halfway through episode 1, in a coma or hospitalised from all that beatings and fighting.

Saint: The most important thing that I'm giving up is not school, it's you, Shin. I'm giving up on the chance to be with you.
Me: OMG, this a BL.
Director: No... it's a bromace.
Shin: You say, you're giving up what's important, and that means you're giving up on me. But you know what? You gave up on me a long time ago. Three years ago when you broke my leg. So, you don't get to leave me behind again.
Me: *in tears* Seeee, it talks like a bl, acts like a bl, it's a bl. They are in love.
Writers: No, it's a bromance. brooo-mance.
Me: Psst, okay, Sharon. I believe you.

Listen, this show is a BL. Literally every episode Saint's like 'I want you back, I love you, please be with me forever' then Shin will look at him with those longing eyes and they'd stare real hard into each other's eyes. Literally, why is this a bromance? In what world is all that tension bromance? Nothing about Saint and Shin screams bromance. Those two are in love, I know, they told me. XD

First off, are those teachers at that school even qualified to take care of the children? It seems like no one knows what they are doing. The students just walks all over them, disrespecting them, hitting them, straight up treating them like trash. Literally, why are these children still in school?

Anyway, I am enjoying this show, a lot. The whole mystery regarding what Saint did to Shin to make him hate him so much, kept my interest. But oh boy, I was ready to pull my hair, because 6 episodes in and Shin is still going on and on, and on about how dirty Saint did him. You ruined my life. I will never forgive you. I will beat you up. And I'm like sure, he's the scum of the Earth, now tell me what he DID. Damn! Boy was so vague about what happened it got annoying. Cuz, my arse is nosy and I wanted to know what he did so I can judge and hate him too, but they kept dragging it. Literally, that plot device was like that one friend who always have sh!t to share but never does like:

That One Friend: You won't believe what happened to me today. I'm telling you, when the Pope finally left, the police had to fly the rest of us home on a helicopter. In the end, the president and his details had to sleepover at my house.
ME: OMG??? What the hell happened??
That One Friend: It's nothing really. I don't wanna talk about it.
ME: That's why no one like you, Sharon.

No, but, I am so glad,they finally told us what he did. And when I heard how Saint ruined Shin's dream by beaten him the hell up, then disappearing on him after breaking his leg, I was like... Never forgive him. As a matter of fact, beat him some more, cuz... what?? And knowing he did that because he probably didn't want his 'friend' to leave him is even worse! Nah, but Saint did him sooo bad. Learning that and seeing how Shin still didn't seem to truly hate him made me feel even more bad for him.

Yes, Saint deserved all the hate he's been getting from Shin. Hell, he deserves more than that, and sure he's trying and he's been working on being a better person, but damnnnn. That being said, I'm sort of glad Shin is starting to forgive him. He does deserves to be forgotten, he was young and stupid, but I still feel so bad for Shin.

My main issue with this drama is the violence. Like, what school would allow all that to happen and not expel those students? They are so violent and mean, then, they return to school the next day like nothing happened. Some of these people should be in a coma, have major injury or like dead dead. Literally, after all the beaten Shin got, he showed up to school like it was nothing. That boy should have been in a coma or an obituary page.

PLOT: the story is interesting, though there's so many gang stuff and nonsense fighting violence going on it drags. The bad guys are so generic it hurts. That one school bully is so bleh, and the two people following him ain't any interesting either. That being said, it took be a while to notice they were twins and not the same person doing both part. My bad. I'm looking forward to see how everything is gonna to come together, with the gangs, the students, the teachers and the leads.

Characters: So far, my fav is Chatjen. I just love Mark. The leads are a close second, cuz I like the tension between them, the push and pull and how each makes me understand the characters they are playing. As for the bad guys, they don't seem anything special, and don't have any depth. That shady teacher, being a bully was a surprise to no one, and that one female teacher is trying, but the poor woman is just sad. Hopefully, we get more from the others like we are seeing with Cable in the remaining episodes.

All in all, I am looking forward to the rest, as I'm enjoying myself a lot. I still don't buy this being a bromance though, cuz, literally, that makes no sense.
