A guilty pleasure of mine
This show intrigued me because of Choi Minho, so let that tell you that this probably will be biased because that man is so multi talented and oh so very good looking. Even with that being said I don’t understand all of the overly negative reviews.
Looking into this drama outside of the stars from SM entertainment it’s clearly just supposed to be an adaptation, it’s fun, and a bit over the top with its music. Still it doesn’t diminish from anything, the campyiness of everything fits well with the absurdity of the story. So pretty much don’t expect anything outstanding, this is what it is and it’s about a girl cross dressing to go into an all boys school to help out Tae Joom who she pretty much idolizes.
With a first glance I could tell this drama is drama is going all out with its campy nature. And I like dramas that go one way completely, especially with the lightness and fun of the main plot. It follows things like I would expect from the source material coming from a manga, like Boys Over Flowers. Lets see if this drags on..
So what I like is Eun Gyeol, who develops a crush on Jae Hee who is played by Sulli. She does an amazing job at acting like a guy, because she knows not to take it seriously. The role her for her is done well and the credit of the likableness of her character is because of Sulli. She could’ve tried too hard to try and be like a man, but instead has her look and lets her feelings follow. She’s not into toxic masculinity where she’d hold back her feelings and act like a boy in an insulting way. That leads onto what I really like. Eun Gyeol and his gay panic moments are hilarious, and they are also not insulting. He just likes Jae Hee and it’s genuine, he isn’t trying to cover it up- instead he wants to get closer to her even if he thinks she is a guy. He has a very funny imagination, my favorite character that I could talk about all day. Tae Joon, although he’s more strict with how he acts, he still obviously cares about Jae Hee and is putting on some character at certain times.
I don’t like the trope of someone acting all serious, it’s a shame that Minho has to do that at times because I know he’s super charismatic.
