23.5 Episode 1 Reactions
This was a strong first episode. Unfortunately the rest of the season had a very uneven Tone probably because the studio forced the creators to add way more side characters and even bl to appeal to various audiences. This is because it was gmmtv's first gl and so they didn't know how big gl would become at the time so they played it way too safe. This definitely hurt the series and removed a lot of what made the novel work. But this first episode captured the tone the best, not too over the top in humor and not too over dramatic either but a nice blend. with focus primarily on the main characters of the novel.

So, I finally watched it after being bombarded with negative reviews, and let me tell you, I couldn't disagree more with all the criticism. It was simply adorable, adorable, adorable! I can't promise you'll love it as much as I did, but don't let those bad reviews deter you from giving it a chance. Watch it and form your own opinion.

While I am appreciative and excited to see more sapphic media, this was not the greatest start. It is supposed to lighthearted and funny, but there were scenes that felt out of place. I was also confused and a little bored at times. It reminded me of how I felt when I watched Enchante (this is a completely different genre and story, but I'm sure most can agree that Enchante was a snooze fest).Not the greatest first episode, but not the worst either. I want to note the comparisons that people are making between 23.5 and My School President. Though they are both cute silly high school love stories, MSP had the musical element with the characters singing a new song every episode. Such addition to the show made the dramatic and over the top acting more bearable and understandable, as it felt theatrical. (though there is also a double standard of course; a large portion of BL fans are fetishizers of gay men). 23.5 does not have that, and so the comedy may feel like too much (especially when gmmtv has been moving away from that recently). I think it's bearable at times, but I can understand why people are not fond of it. Once again, of course we should appreciate, but critiques will give us more sapphic shows of greater quality (and not any terrible ones like GAP). Overall, I loved the cute little interactions between the leads and I am excited to learn more about Aylin and her alien agenda. I will keep tuning in as I have been waiting for it since it was announced.

I LOVE Aylin but OMG I feel so bad for Ongsa! I had no idea this is gonna be that depressing. Or generally about bullying. I mean, it is great they're talking about these issues, but yk. First episode only and I'm already bawling my eyes out. How much will episode 11 hurt me?Looks good so far though. I loved the motorbike ride! Also on point with the vlogging kids generation... :') XD

This episode was adorable. The managed to establish the characters of most of the supporting cast whilst showcasing milklove's phenomenal chemistry. If the show keeps it momentum it will be amazing.
