Saebit Boys' High School Council (2021)

Foundation for more BL Kdramas in the future

In the past, we were drawn to Korean dramas with usual troupes and storylines. From He’s Beautiful, Flower Boy Next Door, Coffee Prince, Boys over Flowers, and Princess Hours, it contained the schematic plot formulas - enemies to lovers, princely male leads and cliche romantic storylines that garnered huge attention from the viewers. These were the materials used as baseline to recognize the techniques of the industry.

The rise of Korean dramas led to more creative outputs that will surely accumulate more viewers like Descendants of the Sun, Law School, Sweet Home, It’s okay not to be okay, and Hotel Luna that were more substantial in terms of plots and characterization. I think Light on Me is a drama that could establish the same baseline for BL Korean dramas to be prominent. It has the same schematic formulas we usually see in Korean dramas - a male lead, a second male lead and a tactless main character who we all want to be happy.

In my opinion, it is a drama that anyone could enjoy even if they don’t usually watch BL dramas as long as they are a fan of typical Korean writing. The plot is really light and mellow that I personally would love to just watch the released episodes again to make my heart melt. As of the moment, I would love to reach the end to see who will our dear Tae kyung end up with, which obviously is really good because I saw a lot of viewers riding on different ships, which means they are hooked.

I read different theories but if I would solely based my opinion by only watching the drama, I don’t know who the main character will end up with because the drama gives you the thrill of making both the male leads the possible end game. I want to share that I am on Team Daon. I was first Team Shinwoo but the latest episodes made me jump on the other ship. If you are looking for a drama that would make you confuse on who to cheer on, then this drama is for you.

Overall, I hope to see more BL Korean dramas dwell on different plot lines but for now, I am satisfied with the cliche romantic storylines because I know it will only get better at this point.

First Sight Review

The title itself sounds amusing and interesting, that's no doubt. if you are interested in a storyline where the plot involving the leads go from hate to love relationship them this would be a must. Korea doesn't give us much BL'S with long duration but this is worth it as every episode maximizes to twenty minutes and not to forget that it has 16 episodes. first episode was mazing as i thought. it also gives insight to the sex education that does not show up in Korean dramas. the cast's acting is fantastic. The swoon worthy moments this will build up to will be amazing to watch as the episodes progresses. the bickering between the leads is a must laugh moments.

It's lit.?

I honestly think this is so cute. From the bg music to the acting skills to looks to story. It really is good. The 1st episode will get you hooked up with the show. And, once you're in, there's no way out.😂❤
Honestly, I really like how LGBTQ+ community is getting in the spotlight. I have a huge respect for them. For me they are the most courageous people of all. Dramas like this play an important role for LGBTQ+ community to want to open up.

And, if no one told you, let me tell you this, you look good. And, hang in there whatever you're going through.!!❤

I've never been in love with a show more than this one

The first time I watched this show I knew id end up loving it.

Its not your average "spicy" BL that most people want, its extremely wholesome and fluffy. I love the enemies to lover with a touch of a love Triangle,

This series, is just perfectly done in my opinion, I love the bright, almost pastel color palette, the character development, the drama in the plot and the ending resolution,

I do love Spicy BL's but I think we need more of these kinds, this series is definitely rewatchable because of the fact that it just makes me happy anytime its on the screen

One of the bl that has left a deep impression on me

One of the best korean bl ive ever watched! A highschool-based drama with a perfect combination of romance and slice of life! Every characters has portrayed their roles very well and their chemistry is so cute! An expensive looking and highly produced korean bl with characters you can relate on! There is no cringe moments and every episode is Chef's Kiss! The soundtracks and OST'S that was used for each scenes are so beautiful! The plot is very beautiful and im sure you will relate to it! 16 episodes weren't enough but who knows? maybe we can get a Season 2 in the future! Definitely worth to watch! ❣️

CONTENTFUL LOVE HEARTHWARMING STORY!

I have completed watching it just now , and i can say it , it is worthful of the time i have invested in it ! I mean i personally don't like love triangles cause its too much messy but this drama did a justice to it .Its a story which actually talks some deep teen issue when u see it , i love all the characters and i can assure you every actor did a great justice to their respective roles . Through this whole journey there was cute scenes but my personal fav will Nam Gong that man played the excellent job in showing the fun aspect, his comic timing was awesome .In total if you are searching for some good bl with good storyline in it with good acting then it the one for you . I guess this bl also showed new aspect of bl's its not like those chessy messy bl's and i am happy i got to know about it and decided to watch it! The last few episodes were really well written by encapsulating thes story and giving beautiful ending!

Team Da-On ? [am broken ?]

The story I mean the show is just too good but guys I'm a broken fan 💔🤧 the love triangle literally attract everyone I guess the story is too good but as I'm on team Da-On so i'mma bit disappointed 😭 but I'm not saying shinwoo was not deserving he worth it broo I mean I am on team Da-On ahh it may sound confusing. The point is that I'm on team Da-On but he did mistake as he broke Tae-gyeong heart so couldn't win him shinwoo was too kind hearted. I don't think this review is gonna helpful to anyone so don't mind my review just watch this show and I guarantee you that you're not gonna regret it and if somebody watch after reading my review than its okay to team Da-On you can come back to rely on me we'll cry together 🤧💔😭😭

É só mais um não.

Primeiramente eu vi esta série quando saiu, então não consigo dar uma crítica ou opinião detalhada.

A principio eu dizia ok á personagem e ao começo da série, mas quando ela se desenrola, sinceramente foi um grande não. Eu nem sei como consegui ver todos os episódio, nem sei se só pulei para o episódio final.

*História*

Básica demais, ela não tem um grande potencial, mas poderia ser boa como outras tantas com o mesmo género e com um enredo simplesmente igual. Basicamente um aluno que é tímido e na sua, aos poucos começa a interagir com outros estudantes, na minha opinião isso poderia aproximar a personagem a alguns espetadores, mas nem isso a história conseguiu fazer. O que é uma pena.

O começo entre o casal é simplesmente ridícula, porque é que aquilo simplesmente teve que acontecer? Aquilo parece normal? Não. Outra coisa ridícula é a inexistência de sentimentos da personagem principal, ele simplesmente parece um robô ou aquelas pessoas que vivem, porque sim. Perque o o Shin Da on teve que se apaixonar pelo Tae Kyung? Eu não entendo as suas motivações se é que isso foi mostrado no bl.

Para mim ele poderia ficar Tae Kyung poderia ficar com quem quiser ou até mesmo ficar sozinho, quem se importa?

* Considerações finais*

Poderia ser bem melhor, se seguissem outro caminho e talvez se existisse mais desenvolvimento da personagem principal. Talvez se existe-se mais historia sobre o menino calado e quieto, que aos poucos se abre para os outros e começa a desenvolver as suas capacidades sociais. Isso poder ser explorado, mas penso que poderia ser ainda mais, para mim seria mais interessante.

Cada um tem a sua opinião, mas eu não sei muito bem como é que a série foi assim tão bem vista. Enfim, por vezes eu dou-me a gostar de uma série que quase ninguém gosta.

Surprised at the high rating

I wanted to give this a try given the high rating but I was fairly disappointed. Having seen Love for Love's Sake (currently rated at 8.8), The Eighth Sense (currently rated at 8.1) and To my star 2 (also 8.2), I cannot understand how this is rated at 8.2.

I mostly watched till the end though to see if the show got better and how it would turn out for Shin Woo.

The premise of the story about a fairly awkward high schooler who is attempting to make friends through joining the student council on the advice of his teacher. He ends up in a love triangle between 2 other members of the council. But a lot of elements didn't make sense - where were the other 17 members of the student council? Does Shin Woo's attitude towards Tae Kyung in the beginning really make sense? If he was interested in him, why push him away so hard? I get that they were trying to build a plot but the character portrayal didn't make sense.

I did actually enjoy Tae Kyung's direct and honest character, and his newly discovered love. The scenes of him with Da on in the beginning were cute. But Da on's acting was pretty flat and 2 dimensional. Most of the acting in the show wasn't great. Maybe it was also the weird pacing that also got in the way.

Somewhere in the middle of the series when I was about to drop it, Shin Woo's awkwardness grew on me so I hung on. I felt his sincerity for Tae Kyung, although their relationship seemed rushed at the end. I didn't really feel Tae Kyung's affection for Shin Woo the same why that he was longing for Da on. It was also a fairly short period of time for him to get over his feelings.

Overall, I would suggest skipping it if you're looking for a high school romance. Watch Love for Love's Sake instead.

This show should be called Daon and the Others cause.

I watched this show when Kbls weren't too big and crazy like they are now, and at the time I honestly thought this bl was a solid wholesome high school drama with a cute couple and villians like Daon and that girl who's name I dont recall, but boy was I wrong. A couple of months after my first watch, I decided to watch lom again, surprisingly it felt like i was watching a new show. After paying more attention to the other characters like Namgung and Daon, I came to the conclusion that the writers messed up so much cause, how can a so called villain get more character development than the main ones? Daon is described as this guy who is nothing but a people pleaser, a guy who has a perfect life, since he has money, popularity, and is also the school president so, what could go wrong in his life? So at this point we all know he’s queer and he falls for our main character (who’s the most boring person aliveee), but reality hits when they get outed. Taekyung get’s mad at Daon cause he wanted his time to sort his mind after the whole school that was ruled by him, suddenly saw him as a weird insect walking though those hallways. As a queer person myself, I can’t help but to put myself in daon’s shoes, I am an extroverted, leader, pationate girl who could be called popular, but deep in my heart I know that if my sexuality ever gets out there, everything that I’ve constructed will come to an end. That’s called reality, some people can’t afford to live in those false mentalities that tell us to live our life and don’t care about others, but in the outside world we could get killed. Also, something that people tend to overlook is the fact that Shinwoo preferred to help a guy he just met, giving him advice and offering him a shoulder to lean on, so he wouldn’t feel alone because of his queerness, than to help his fellow student council member AND friend just because he liked a guy he knew nothing about??? WOWWW tysm shinwoo?? i guess? anyways the only good characters are daon and namgung cause they are cunty hot girls. ty for reading xx
