Lost in the Multiverse of Disappointment
I'm writing this review because I was left very disappointed by this special.
My School President is one of my favorite GMMTV BLs not only because of the chemistry and dynamic of the main couple but also because of the friendship plotline that brings the meaning of the series to a whole new level.
After reading the plot of this, I was interested to see how they would adapt all of my favorite scenes and if they would bring something new to the table. I'm not familiar with the "multiverse" tag, but I would watch everything as long as there's TinnGun starring in it.
From the start, everything about the writing seemed lazy and messy. They adapted some scenes from the original series without trying to give this special a logical sense, timeline, or story on its own. A few had no business being adapted, in particular the scene where Gun's mom collapses and is taken to the hospital by Tinn. That scene serves as a turning point in the story, and it's very sentimental. Here, they just mock it by making Tinn's mom casually sleep on the floor. How is that supposed to make me feel? Why did they even include it in this special if they just forgot about it seconds later? They completely ruined its significance.
Also, am I the only one upset that Tinn and Gun didn't kiss? They made the side couple share a kiss, but not the main one? I'm not that mad because they were sweet and slow-paced in the original, but it just felt like their relationship regressed and they didn't develop it at all. The side couples were given more screentime and overall had better scenes.
Another thing I'm not okay with is the fact that they seem to have forgotten what made My School President popular in the first place. It is a story about friendship, chasing your dreams, and learning to overcome failure, and overall, it is much more than what this special reduced it to.
The only scene I truly enjoyed was the music video in the last episode. I liked how they referenced the other BLs, but it seemed out of place and random. I can only imagine how confused someone who hasn't watched any of the series referenced would be.
Until the last moments, I hoped they would include a few minutes where we see Tinn and Gun in the original universe. Maybe a glimpse of their university life, but they decided to give us nothing.
In conclusion, Our Skyy 2: My School President fell short of expectations with lazy writing and mishandled important scenes that took away from what made the original series special, leaving me feeling disappointed and unsatisfied.
