Not a Lovesick Remake - In many ways better
My School President is the best series of 2023. When the trailers came out I was getting too much of a Lovesick remake vibe. That trope of the music club is in trouble and the President comes into to save them and in the process falls in love. Glad to report that My School President (MSP) has transcended that trope and is a much more evolved version. Like Lovesick, MSP is a rom--com that successfully blends a simple storyline, lovable and relatable main characters, and music into an excellent series. Additionally, the actors ability to sing brings a geniousness to the series. It’s definitely not a copy or remake but a fresh take that’s done exceptionally well.
What makes MSP successful is the series ability to be light, yet not fluffy. MSP could have turned into an immature teen comedy but thankfully it didn’t. Everything feels genuine. You can feel the emotions and chemistry between allthe actors, especially with the two lead actors Fourth and Gemini, Probably helps that all the actors are all similar in true age.From a story perspective, I especially loved all the character nuances and references that the series builds on from episode to episode.These bring depth to the characters relationships. The music is excellent and is perfect in its placement within each episode. It’s a wonderful coming-of-age rom-com that’s definitely a must watch as it’s one of the best of this genre.
