School drama with a twist
I think it's important to note that I came into this drama with zero expectations. I watched it purely because I think First is a sensational actor (and he is, and was in this yet again) and because his chemistry with Khaotung is fabulous (and it was, yet again).
This is a school drama, much like you'll see in any BL, but it has a twist to it. There's a curse at the school, and it seeks those trying to disrupt order -- in this case, a group of protestors. I have read that it came off at first to people as more of a sci-fi kind of mystery, but coming in without expectations, I honestly just saw it for what it was, and therefore wasn't disappointed by any preconceived notions.
I enjoyed the cast of characters, and Akk's parents are the parents we all deserve. Similarly, Ayan is the boyfriend we all deserve. Akk and Ayan had a different dynamic than you see in most stories. They certainly weren't friends, but they also weren't sworn enemies (from my perspective). I think where I was let down at times with this was some of the more detailed elements. I struggled to understand what started the protesting in the first place, and I didn't think they really expressed the origin of the curse as effectively as they could've. Additionally, it may have been my mindset when watching, but I completely missed when Akk and Ayan started to date beyond Ayan literally just saying "we should date." That felt a bit lazy when it came to the writing, and the actors made the best of those scenes. On the opposite, I was surprised at some of what was behind the "mysteries." I had a guess, but I picked wrong at one point, and then was completely off with another layer of it in the end. It's good to be surprised sometimes.
I plan to rewatch this in the future when I can be more attentive to it, but overall it was a pleasant show with some surprising emotional elements.
