Beautiful Music and Young Love
I definitely enjoyed this show, although with a few comments on certain things. I think the music is absolutely gorgeous and a big part of the appeal. Seriously. I can't stress enough my love for the soundtrack.
Paper and Tongfah are a bit confusing, since I'm never quite sure of what stage their relationship is at.
Still, I loved their dynamic and they were very cute together. Their story progression was all over the place, but it didn't matter to me too much since I just was glad to see them be happy together. They have really good chemistry and their kisses were super well done. They were probably my favorite couple.
Tongfah is a sweet boy and I would risk my life for him.
Chris and Jeno were cute by the end, but it was pretty lame how Jeno treated Chris for most of the show. He was pretty dismissive of him and not very nice until towards the end. Chris as an individual is great and I love him. Jeno is cute but like I said, his treatment of Chris wasn't great. But yet, when they ended up together they were so cute and I got over my complaints so I could just appreciate their cuteness.
(edit): honestly, they did have more cute moments than I remembered. Chris is an absolute sweetheart and Jeno just has trust issues.
I skipped the scenes with Near and M because they had no chemistry and I also felt like the storyline was a bit creepy. Something about M rubbed me the wrong way.
It did a good job balancing fun and serious. I was shocked to suddenly realize my emotional investment when I started crying during a sad scene.
If any of them were trying to keep their sexualities on the DL they did a bad job considering the amount of gay movie posters all over their walls.
I'll once again mention the music since it really got me good. It was gorgeous.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving the show a shot. It's not perfect, but it is really charming and heartfelt. I wish there were a directors cut to put back in the scenes that I can only assume were cut from the show because goodness so much felt like it was missing. But it was still a loveable show. I will definitely be watching it again
