High School Frenemy (2024)

Just Amazing.!!! Go and watch it...!

The storyline, the acting, the characters, the visuals, the ost, everything is amazing. The chemistry between the two mcs Saint and Shin is literal perfection. Two ex bestfriends turned enemies and the tension between them is just🤌. I guess they wanted us to ship these two from the beginning and my God did they succeed..I loved whatever was going on between them and the ending made it clear that they are soulmates. Even side characters played their roles well. Never thought I would like a gmmtv series but here we are. Also this might be the only series that I am definitely going to rewatch because I miss them already.


They are both very down bad for each other but one is like a Yandere and the other one a Tsundere lol.

THE BEST NON-BL BUT ACTUALLY A BL DRAMA OF 2024

BEST COUPLE OF THE YEAR 2024 and ahead is SKYNANI...one of the best acting ever in both of their career. They did their best and their chemistry was out of the world. I'm looking forward to their upcoming drama in 2025 called WU. I manifest it to be a BL series as this series was bromance, but it still broke our low expectations for a bromance and satisfied us to the peak.TBH it was a ROMANCE drama of two boys without a kiss. I loved it. As a pro-BL watcher, I can tell that some of the BL actors do not have any chemistry that these two bromance couples have. Their chemistry is at its peak. Must match drama.

I didn’t want this to end

At first, the first 4 episodes were tiring for me to watch as I don’t really do well with extreme violence like that but I’m so glad I stuck with it.

This show further proves that you don’t need intimate scenes to establish a bond between lovers. Yes I call them lovers cos normal friendship cannot be like this. But if yours is like this, then kudos to you and your friend. hehe..

I love how they were able to break through. Not just the main leads, but the other characters too did well. They really defined what true friendship meant. The teachers were awesome as well. Really portrayed how amazing some teachers are irl.

The story is fantastic. They really did justice to the original version - School 2013. Love the OST and was really proud of SkyNani for singing the OST to the drama. Their vocals are truly wonderful.

Would highly recommend this drama. It’s really a masterpiece

Get ready to cry, scream, love - a rollercoaster ride of emotions that'll make you want more

Do you know of that feeling where you scream all through the show at the electric chemistry between the lead pair and desperately want them to confess their love to each other? Yes, this is that kind.

BL-needle Score: 10> Needle broke !!! Very high BL-ness.....yeah yeah, they insist it is (B)romance, but we know better

This show is the best thing since TharnType in terms of the intense romantic/sexual tensions between the lead pair.

Saint and Shin are childhood best buddies (my interpretation - more like boys in deep love, but clueless about it, like how only teenagers can be), who fall out due to an act of juvenile immaturity and violence, that halts Shin's soccer dreams...Saint initially runs away after the incident, unable to face the hurt he has caused to his best friend, and when he returns later, Shin's mom forbids him to see Shin ever again.....fast forward a few years, they meet since their school campuses are merged and they end up in the same Class 2 of their now merged campus, infamous for the violence and troubled lot of students....Shin apparently hates Saint, and no amount of apologies, convincing, and efforts from Saint are able to move him...or so he pretends.....but its all too plain that their love and all that pent-up hurt is just waiting to burst forth....the story then follows the meandering and frequently violent path of reconciliation between Saint and Shin, and also several of their troubled friends....with some of the friends and teachers acting as key enablers to that journey towards healing and hope

A special mention here for the character Chadjen, played by Mark...Chadjen is plain love ... he is an autistic friend of Saint and Shin, and, in my opinion, is the main thread of love and compassion that pulls everyone together towards the healing that we see at the end

Sky (Saint) and Nani (Shin) are outstanding as estranged childhood friends-turned-enemies, with Saint determined to get back to being the inseparable duo that they used to be...he refuses to give up and for a substantial part of the show, its an endless game of wooing and refusal between Saint and Shin, with a lot of help from Shin's adorable little (step)sister Chingching, who shares a special bond with both, and also from Chadjen, and the two teachers, Jan and Sung....Saint is almost like an adorable puppy who follows his master around to be forgiven for his mistakes, knowing full well that his life is pointless without Shin...the intense stares, electric chemistry, hurt-eyes and unmistakable yearning between Saint and Shin tells of a love that is undoubtedly beyond just best friends..

But the script will keep the bromance mask on, all through.....I think this is done deliberately, with the intent of keeping us salivating and yearning for that what almost everyone who has watched this show will want - Saint and Shin confessing their love to each other...and YES, even if for a fleeting moment, it does happen....so yes, it is going to make you very happy at the end.

Should you watch it? YES, YES, and YES :D

SKYNANI BEST ACTORS EVER

GUYS I'M IN ACTUAL TEARS THAT WAS THE BEST SERIES I HAVE EVER WATCHED I'M SO FOR REAL. FROM ACTING TO PLOTLINE. ALL THE CHARACTERS WERE SO WELL WRITTEN I'M IN ACTUAL SHOCK IT CAME FROM GMMTV. AND THE MUSIC WAS SO ON POINT AND SO GOOD. GUYS WATCH IT YOU WON'T REGRET. Actually I wasn't planning to watch it in the first place but im so glad I did bc that was the best experience of my life. I dare to say it was so much better then the original. Also no pointless ads, no pointles sound effects - just pure art. I might seem biased but I was waiting for AGES for gmm to make something like this.

This is a BL if it was made in mainland China

Like everyone else said, it couldn’t be gayer. But I want to give props to SkyNani for such incredible acting. Although this is a "bromance," they had more chemistry than half the couples in the BL industry. They portrayed a love so deep and beautiful that I was genuinely moved.

For those like me who love BL, get ready to yell, "Just kiss already!" at least a hundred times.

The secondary characters were also fantastic, especially Chatjen, who was an amazing and beautifully crafted representation of autism. He simultaneously served as a bridge between Shin and Saint while also being their unofficial son and the head of their shipper.

All in all, it’s great. I’m eagerly waiting for the final episode!

excelente

eu sei que é até triste dizer isso porque é uma empresa que vive de fazer Bls, como as pessoas devem saber é o boys love 2 homens de protagonistas gays, mas esse ano essa série que é um romance forte é a série que eu mais gostei da GMMTV, sim infelizmente ou felizmente é isso ela é um remake de uma série excelente da Coreia o School 2013, ás atuações são magníficas não só dos protagonistas, é tão raro ver alguém atuando de uma forma emocionante nessa empresa é nota 10 com certeza e pretendo ver mais vezes, acho que não atoa Sky e nani encantaram tantas pessoas mas nem em Bls, vemos tanta emoção.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY ❤️

it's a romance! what saintshin have can't be bounded by the labels. they're more than friends, more than lovers, more than soulmates. they're one and the same! two bodies one soul ❤️

i'm so glad i can confidently say that i have been one of the og fans who has been watching since the trailer drop. i had expectations for sure but this show has exceeded all of them and come out as THE BEST SERIES IN 2024.

brilliant acting by the cast. especially skynani (saintshin) who expressed the feeling of sadness, anger, love and longing in the most beautiful way possible. their eyes held so much emotions and the way they delivered the lines seeped through my bones!! what a blessing that these two met 💘

excellent bgm choice! the songs are so good that i've been listening to them all day, every day! the ost "promise" sung by sky & nani is THE BEST ost of the year!!

the plot is about two people who are desparately in love w each other and are ready to die for each other even though their love story is not easy. they've been through a lot, both together and apart, both because of the world and because of each other, but in the end, they're together and nothing else is stronger than their love for each other!!

this show can mess you up in the best way possible! the relationship between saintshin, the friendship between every other characters and every other dynamic in this show is so enticing, one can get lost! 😭 enough said, i am never getting over this series. i'm never getting over saintshin & skynani 💘

Just Wow, Amazing Acting

I thought I would watch one episode and skip to last one and skim it. Was I wrong.
It has a real powerful story, it tackled the harder parts of life for kids and teachers who actually care.

Saint (Sky) and Shin (Nani) were amazing, there acting was above anything I have watched before and the natural love for each other (wasn't a love story) they showed, was perfect and there was a wedding in their future with kids 😀🫣🤭😍 (again not a love story just brilliant acting and scripted).

The friendships made along the way were beautiful.

A massive shout out to Mark who played Chatjen just amazing and deserves an award, never went out of character (great to portray Autism who is high functioning)

Every single actor/actress in this series did a great job, they all deserve an award, even little Chingching was perfect and not annoying at all.

You could nit pick the shit out of this series as nothing is perfect, but the scripted, story and acting was above anything I have ever watched before.

I loved this and would rewatch. You also cry when they hug Ken, Chatjen emotional scene and couple other scenes.. The very end was super cute, Oh Saint and Shin so loved each other 💙. Though would of been nice to see everyone else at the end.

Well done
