A really intimate and beautiful slice of life
Before you start watching this you MUST know that is a real slowburn, if you are not a fan, than you'll probably be bored. But also I, particularly, am not a fan of slowburn but this one just sits so right.
The best thing about "My 12%" , in my opinion, is the Coming of Age and Slice of Life aspect of it, you see Eiw and Cake grow and how this growth changes their really strong, deep and also pure friendship, one that I may say, is one of the most beautiful ones I have seen in this kind of genre. Their relationship make this drama feel so warm and intimate that is really hard for you to not get involved.
Earth and Santa just went above and beyond with their acting and chemistry. I could read in their foreheads what Eiw and Cake were feeling, and this is really powerful. Even if for a lot of people Eiw was somewhat annoying for the amount of crying, I didn't see as something really out of place, Earth had so many moving, touching and powerful scenes and he really delivered then very well. Santa also did a beautiful job portraying Cake (the bed scene destroyed me and it's mostly his fault).
I didn't bother with the confusing time and the scenario details being out of the timeline (like the fleabag poster), but one of the things that I call a downside for the drama (that made it not be a 10 / 10 for me) is the plot on the last 2 episodes. The 13th episode wasn't even that bad, but the 14th was just a stretch of it and I got bored. I felt it was a little bit out of placed, and disconnected with the main story and plotline. "My 12%" should've been only 12 episodes, with a good wrapping, like we saw in the last minutes of episode 14. The other one was the bad writing on Eiw's confession scene, Cake's lines could have been way better then what they were, but it didn't made me hate the scene, however made it not be as good as it could been.
In the end, this drama made me feel A LOT and I loved watching their chemistry and intensity on screen, Eiw and Cake are one of my favorite BL couples, not gonna lie...
