Saebit Boys' High School Council (2021)

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!

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.

This series is a gentle and quiet exploration of identity and self in adolescence. I'm not sure though, which age group could be the intended audience -- teenaged people who get a mirror for their own growth or older adults who might feel a slight melancholia when watching the drama.

All in all, it did not wholly deliver on its promise.
The premise I liked, four young people who have to come to a decision and their own standing point regarding their position towards platonic and romantic relationships -- and issues of belonging to a group versus being who you are. Even the love triangle made sense within these topics.
The execution, though, is stilted and at times too slow.

These are definitely directing choices, not the problems of the actors -- as soon as they get to do something, they start to shine.
For example, I don't understand why the actors stand right in front of each other in most conversations, with their arms hanging down without movement (and the whole drama is conversation-heavy) -- alternatively, they talk while walking next to each other at a snail's pace. I suppose the director wanted to convey some kind of awkwardness -- which is a good idea, since the characters definitely don't feel comfortable for most of the time, but it just gets boring after a while.
Also, the characters (with the exception of Namgoong) all have similar mannerisms (or, if I want to be a bit mean, the same mannerisms) -- including the teacher, which I mistook for another student in several scenes.

There were also some minor issues:
* At times, the background music did not quite fit the mood -- I'm also not a fan of the "plink-plink"-kind of music.
* The scene with the adult toys in the beginning was never resolved, and did not fit in with the rest of the story.
* I could have done without the kiss at the end -- it feels as if the writers or the director said: Oh, the audience also wants a kiss, so lets add it somewhere. A hug or some light cuddling, or even sitting very close to each other would have fit the overall mood better.
* I'm also not too sure about the female character, but since she had her own story arc and character development, I'll let it slide.

The plot itself, with its theme of exploration and the awkwardness of navigating relationships in adolescenece, is fine, and surely of interest to many. It's just that the way the series is brought to the screen cannot convey all the depth and the emotion it wanted.
Maybe if the creators had been clearer of the intended audience and made some bolder choices for directing according to that, it would have been more on point.

Overall, I found it okay to watch, but not worth a second time.

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.

hino perfeito a coreia finalmente acertou

eu enrolei muito pra começar a assistir pq achava que era mais um bl super cliche e com pouco desenvolvimento assim como infelizmente é a maioria dos bls coreanos, mas meus amores!!! eu nao podia estar mais errada, que hino de roteiro, o desenvolvimento é tao incrivel, me prendeu do inicio ao fim, em cada dilema dos personagens, simplesmente perfeito, e no meu caso, é raro eu me apegar tanto ao drama como um todo, nao dou 5 estrelas pra qualquer um nao viu light on me vc é privilegiado bjskkk

mas serio, vale muito a pena assistir, to feliz demais em acompanhar em tempo real a evolução dos bls coreanos, estao cada vez mais com melhores produções e plots, as gays tao vencendo!!!

Sighs in Fantastic!

This is not at all a long review.
All I can say is I screamed at my Mac so many times watching this series.
I was rooting for Lee & Choe with everything in me.
I wanted Choe to get his life together and follow his heart.
I wanted Choe to address his "sister-crush"
I wanted Choe to grow a spine and standup for himself.
I wanted Lee to hold on just a little bit longer for Choe.
I was so hopeful towards the last few episodes, but it was not to be.
I could be in the minority on this, but I felt that displayed true chemistry.

Great series all around and great acting.
I recommend and rewatch.
