Something sweet for the kids
I'm starting this review by saying that BL fans can seriously be some of the most annoying people on earth. After watching My School President I came to MDL to read the comments and was baffled to find people comparing this show to KinnPorsche, The Eighth Sense, or Not Me. Are you actually serious? That's like trying to extract the same value from Barbie: Swan Lake and The Godfather. Apples to oranges comparison. BL has made some of you think that gay people are a genre.
For what it's worth and the audience it's actually intended for, My School President is a fantastic show. The story is cute and unique, and the audience is sympathetic to the two leads throughout the plot. Fourth is an eye-catching actor with an acute grasp on subtlety and nuance, making for a standout performance onscreen. All I kept thinking throughout the show is wow he's almost perfect. A little work on his crying and he'll be putting some other gmmtv "actors" out of business.
The chemistry between Gemini and Fourth clearly translates well into the characters of Tinn and Gun. Every side character also contributed to the story in a well-rounded manner. Being honest, people adore Winny Satang and I don't really see it that much myself, but they fit the characters of Win and Sound who added an extra dynamic to the show's vibe that kept it interesting.
My only thing is that I cannot stand when people sing in dramas. I can't bear to listen to it, so I skipped every single singing part in the show which is a lot considering My School President is practically a musical. I'm sure I wasn't able to fully appreciate the show without the songs, but I can still appreciate it for everything else. When it comes to the high school setting I get scared sometimes that a show will push some questionable boundaries, but My School President was pleasantly wholesome and a lovely watch.
