Teased too much!
I'm at episode 11 and I will drop this now.
I was rooting for this series and praising it a lot. The first 3 episodes were very entertaining. The style of storytelling was different. First, we learned about Gun's POV, then about Tinn's. There was some mystery involved about why the school president was doing what he was doing. This series felt very fresh with great storytelling. The plot was dumb and clumsy, but the humor and the charms of the characters made this hilarious. Both Gemini and Fourth were not only casted for their good looks, but for their great musical talents. In fact this feels like a musical BL series. The songs are great. Both have great voices. Both can act. The side characters are gerat too.
So why did I drop it before the finishing line? I guess I'm too old for such series that are only cute and cute and - did I say cute? There is not enough tension or conflict. The characters are nice and do their best to live good lives and be decent people. While I normally enjoy such characters, there is just nothing to look forward. I didn't enjoy the plot with the sick mother which started around ep 4, even though it was executed well. I think I liked ep 6 when they went on a date, because some progress was to be seen in their relationship. Then they dragged the plot with the musical contest out too much, though I know this is an important part of the story. Later they introduced a side couple that I didn't like to be honest. They apparantly have time for everyting, but NOT for showing us some progress in the relationship of the main characters. For people who enjoy a cute musical series with some cute boys, I can recommend My School President. But I personally enjoy a series that pulls on my heart strings and were I sit on the edge of my seat. That's not the case here. I wasn't even well entertained for the last couple of episodes.
So why did I drop it at last minute? The simple reason: they are teasing us with kisses. That's shabby. Those two actors are very young. At the beginning I thought we wouldn't get a kiss at all, which is fine. The story is on the cuter side, no need for heavy make-out sessions. But the teasing! I don't like it. It's not cute. Don't create those almost-kiss-situations. It honestly comes across as if they didn't want to go that far. It's just strange. As if they were insecure about their feelings at this point. They don't give us good explanation why they don't kiss. They just create those cute scenes, put them into the previews and the thumbnail so people will watch. They are making a fool out of the viewers. No, thank you. I won't watch that kiss if it will ever happen. I'm not that thirsty. So ep 12 gets no views from me.
I would rate this with a solid 9. But the enjoyment got lost along the way, so I would still give it 8.5, because objectively speaking this is pretty good. Now I'm pissed about those tease-kisses and I will only give it 7.5.
They went too far.
I'm still waiting for that one series where two characters get together, have a normal relationship with causal showing of physical affection, with causal kisses without making a big deal out of it. So as a viewer you can feel and see they are together. They failed again. Not as hard as 2gether did, but they failed.
