wasn’t that bad to me
so to begin, I’ve never watched the Japanese version, read the manga or even knew much about this except that Atom had a crush on the girl at first.
It wasn’t perfect, but still enjoyable in my opinion.
What I liked :
- one of my fav thing is definitely the friendship between Atom and Mudmee. I loved watching this chaotic duo and their relationship. they were good friends to each other too and supported each other.
- Half and Mudmee : first time I was actually invested in a straight couple in a BL drama. they were funny and cute. The episode with her family cracked me up ahah it was hilarious when her mom slapped the dad and he was like “mother like daughter” and remembered Mudmee’s slap. The kiss during the play was awkward though, it was so obvious their lips weren’t even touching. they shouldn’t have included that, a kiss on the cheek could have worked. Don’t know if it was the director or the actors, but even less sure because of how the kisses were with the BL couple too. Anyway, not important. To finish, from what I get, they are newbies actors, I was surprised, they were good.
- I actually like the ost
- the acting wasn’t the best from Fourth and Gemini, but Fourth did scene good scenes with his acting
- Supportive moms
- I liked the teacher, the plot twist of him dating a man and not being an asshole ahah
- No break up or angst
- I laughed a lot, less in the last few eps, but still. This was a pretty funny and light watch. I had some good laughs
- wasn’t bothered by the cringe
- the chemistry between Fourth and Gemini was for sure not has good as in My school president of Moolight Chicken, but we could still feel it with their eyes or smiles, …
- absolutely no annoying love triangle
so now, what went wrong :
- boring at time and the writing could have been better. Like the scene of Gemini (don’t remember how to write the character’s name ahah) birthday, they could have made it more romantic or I don’t know…
- the chemistry was a bit lacking
- I know they are high scholars, but maybe I would have wanted more for their relationship or romance. I don’t mean a big passionate kiss, but maybe a little much skin ship or something, to look more like a couple. At the beginning of their dating phase, there was an ep I was like “they look like friends and not a couple”
- the kisses were bad. Press lips or Fourth trying to kiss and Gemini with press lips. It was awkward to say the least, again instead could have give some cheek kisses or forehead kiss. Also some weird angle. Wondering if it’s like this the director actually wanted it. The first kiss, I was like okay I get it, but I thought it would get better. The kiss in My school president was actually not bad, don’t know what happened.
- Gemini’s character was a bit stiff ?
- not much backstory for the characters ?
- omg, a very important point, SO MANY products placement, it was too much
- not the best acting we’ve scene from them
- why did Atom came out for them to Gemini’s mom about their relationship?
- sometimes the music wasn’t good
- At first I liked the Chinzilla appearance (felt nostalgic), but after some thinking, they shouldn’t have had this
So anyway, I think this BL got so much hate and it’s not as bad as some people say it is, I don’t regret watching
