High School Frenemy (2024)

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY ❤️

it's a romance! what saintshin have can't be bounded by the labels. they're more than friends, more than lovers, more than soulmates. they're one and the same! two bodies one soul ❤️

i'm so glad i can confidently say that i have been one of the og fans who has been watching since the trailer drop. i had expectations for sure but this show has exceeded all of them and come out as THE BEST SERIES IN 2024.

brilliant acting by the cast. especially skynani (saintshin) who expressed the feeling of sadness, anger, love and longing in the most beautiful way possible. their eyes held so much emotions and the way they delivered the lines seeped through my bones!! what a blessing that these two met 💘

excellent bgm choice! the songs are so good that i've been listening to them all day, every day! the ost "promise" sung by sky & nani is THE BEST ost of the year!!

the plot is about two people who are desparately in love w each other and are ready to die for each other even though their love story is not easy. they've been through a lot, both together and apart, both because of the world and because of each other, but in the end, they're together and nothing else is stronger than their love for each other!!

this show can mess you up in the best way possible! the relationship between saintshin, the friendship between every other characters and every other dynamic in this show is so enticing, one can get lost! 😭 enough said, i am never getting over this series. i'm never getting over saintshin & skynani 💘

A Gripping Tale of Friendship, Rivalry, and Redemption

Watching High School Frenemy was a refreshing experience for me, as it offered a unique mix of high school nostalgia, complex friendships, and the dynamics of rivalry. The premise of two rival school campuses merging, with former best friends Saint and Shin forced into the same environment, immediately drew me in. The series does a great job depicting how teenage tensions, misunderstandings, and past grudges can evolve and affect relationships over time. The tension between the characters feels real, and I found myself rooting for reconciliation, which added depth to the story and kept me engaged.

One of the highlights for me was how the show dealt with themes of loyalty, personal growth, and forgiveness. The strained friendship between Saint and Shin, and the reasons behind their animosity, made me reflect on how misunderstandings can often lead to deep rifts. Watching their journey reminded me of friendships I've experienced where small miscommunications led to bigger conflicts, which took time and effort to mend. This relatability is one of the series’ strengths, drawing viewers into the characters' emotional journeys.

Overall, High School Frenemy is a compelling series with strong performances and engaging storylines. Its focus on friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery made it an enjoyable watch. The show goes beyond typical high school drama, highlighting the importance of empathy and understanding in repairing damaged relationships. For anyone who enjoys youth dramas that go beyond surface-level plots, High School Frenemy is well worth watching.

Best (b)romance I have ever watched.

One phrase: Chemistry is chemistrying
If I knew when I was starting this tv show that was recommended by my friend my life is gonna change, I will find my new family and have the best time of my life watching all the content and the episodes along with people needing and screaming the same things I would have started it earlier.
Class 2 will always have a special place in my heart.
Saintshin really changed the trajectory of my life, it feels like I’m exaggerating but guys it’s true.


What I didn’t like:

- I won’t deny I got annoyed at first with the repetition of “Please forgive me” “No” “Please forgive me” “No”. Not knowing the backstory, not knowing exactly their bond, I thought it was kind of tiring and felt like if this were to happen to me I would be mad mad. BUT! : Once I learned exactly the back story and Shin’s feelings about the situation I changed my mind. Even tho I was a little bit annoyed I was rooting for them from the start but when I learned everything ??? I was ROOTING ROOTING like OH MY GOD. I just feel like they could have reduce the draggy part a little bit. Just that.


What I liked:
EVERYTHING!! Let me break them down:

-My most important thing: their bond. Never seen a bond as strong as this. It’s raw, it’s so beautifully portrayed. It’s the reason I wanted to continue watching. The reason this show won the hearts of thousands of fans.

-The acting: I swear their acting is something else. It more than saved the show: it elevated it, it made it bloom. They were ALL amazing. Every single actor was so good but Skynani outdid themselves. They shined! Their performances were so REAL so emotional. But yeah I gotta give credit to all the actors. I’m thinking of specific scenes, especially towards the end that made me even cry.

-The emotions: In this tv show I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, I screamed. I was fangirling, I was deeply moved , I was proud. I was happy, I was sad, I was stressed, relieved etc. Felt too many emotions to count.

-Their relationship with ChingChing, the baby sister will make your heart melt. And the friendships?!?! The relationship with Chadjen😭 All of them I can’t spoil. I just loved this show so much, I can’t watch anything now, I MISS THEM😭 MISS MY FAMILY!

-Themes: It dealt with some important themes. Like autism, bullying, pressure from parents for school, drugs, alcohol, abuse, friendship and family bonds.

-Can I also appreciate the teachers?! As I also just received my teacher degree, I felt so motivated, so inspired. I loved their efforts, their love and actual care for their students. Oh my gosh this show really changed me.

Overall: PLEASE WATCH IT YOU WON’T REGRET IT! DON’T GIVE UP BEFORE EP 11!!!!!
WISH IT HAD MORE EPISODES

Testing a new BL couple?

In the midst of rave reviews, I want to put out my own review here just for those who may be feeling how I'm feeling right now should they watch this show. If you fall into what feels like an isolated alien corner with this show, hello, I am here too.

I really, really wanted to like this and perhaps I'm most angry with myself for not understanding the hype. This show felt like I had put my brain through a vice. It was a class in all the tropes, I now know that I really hate.

The most obvious case being the school bullying, which can be very triggering for those who were physically bullied at school. But hopefully you are self aware enough of your triggers to know that before clicking play. I am, and still hated the bullies. I don't want to see them redeemed. I don't care about them.

But with that said, I was bored silly. This is basically a gang war with delinquent kids, which makes the immersion a little difficult, if real minors acted like this, they would be in a detention centres.
These are the 'hopeless case' kids that make everyone abandon them because they are so insufferable in the name of being tough and cool. They are headed for a gang and jail later in life. So the idea is for us as the viewer to find some sort of compassion in our dried up hearts for these kids and their circumstances. One group has taken in the autistic kid. Yes, and? Why are they still assholes to everyone else? They walked into the classroom ready to hate because of the whole campuses are at war for 16 years. *sigh* That kind of logic does exist in reality and perhaps it's why seeing it here just wore down my attention. Everyone living in a bubble counting the scores.

The male teacher was a student there so he knows how to handle the class (and probably the guy who started the war in the first place) but his teaching logic is basically, you just need to pass the exam, don't worry about the subject, which defeats the point of being a teacher. That's not a successful student to me. He's a product of his schooling. You don't need to learn, just win, which is what the principal is doing to her own son. Put him into the troubled youth class so he'll naturally be the top. No effort needed. Forget about how violent and abusive these students are. And they wonder why the school is a school for thugs?

I also had a math teacher like this. If it wasn't on the exam, dont worry about it. No wonder I failed my math 3 times because i didn't learn anything. I was taught how to answer questions. That's not teaching and is another personal irk for me as a viewer.

You'll probably hate every character except Mark's because he's the sweet one, he's just loyal to Shin. I loved Only Friends, so toxic characters aren't really the trigger here. I just couldn't find it in me to care about these ones. Again, maybe because they're school kids, and I just see my own bullies, I dont know.

When the real Tsunami is finally revealed, he conveniently destroys all the minions single handedly until the top dog with crazy eyes starts fighting. So of course, he's more of a challenge. Not to mention mom slapping Tsunami across the face after he saved her, her daughter and her son's life from this gang. If he had chosen to stay away as you insisted lady, you would have dead children right now. So there's another irk. The non sensical parent trope.

The three bullies who are starting everything, are scared to have their parents find out about their bullying but they want to join a drug gang? They kidnapped and beat the crap out of their class mate and are in school the next day like nothing happened. The adults are very conveniently placed in this show. They are there when the plot needs them to be. They care when only when it drives the plot.

And finally, the bromance. I like a bromance. This isn't a BL and personally, don't even see the gay happening and I dont care enough to keep watching to wait for it.
I see an angry young lout who opened up to his friend once and was physically beaten by him at some point and now won't forgive him. That seems pretty fair to me. What broke my interest was the chase. It was the old follow and force myself into his space until he eventually forgives me. This annoys me in a romantic sense, so it's good to know that it works platonically too lol
I don't see loving stares either. I see anger, hate and desperation.

I only made it episode 5 before I decided I just cant do it. This is really not for me. I can suspend belief for those heroic uplifting moments but I feel like this show was asking me to do that quite a lot and I don't enjoy that.

This is a really great series - I wasn't planning to watch it but was intrigued by SkyNani at the GMMTV 2025 conference, so I thought I would give it a try, I watched the episodes so quickly and couldn't stop watching because it was too good! It seems to be a remake of School 2013 but I have never watched that, so I can't make a comparison. But High School Frenemy is fantastic - almost gives me Weak Hero Class vibes as well, with the fighting and intense bromance. SkyNani have great chemistry here even if it is only a bromance. But I would definitely recommend this to someone if they wanted to start watching Thai Dramas. 10/10 from me. I really enjoyed this series so much - It may just be a bromance but the chemistry was so good both with SaintShin and SkyNani. SaintShin felt more than friends, but less than lovers, more like friends who like each other but will never tell each other. And it had a perfect ending -I'm happy SkyNani will continue acting together. Even if Wu isn't BL and will be bromance again, their chemistry is too good to go to waste. Nani really surprised me tbh with how cute and shy he is irl and how intimidating he is in this series, Nani became my new obsession lately because hes so cute If someone asked me what to watch to start watching Thai series, I will now suggest High School Frenemy. SkyNani got a new fan because of this great series.

I might seem biased but I was waiting for AGES for gmm to make something like this.
