A school BL done right
I was glad to have caught on to My Boo even though it did not grab my attention during the semi annual GMMTV reveal for 2024. It has decent pacing, the flirting by Moo is masterclass, the dialogue is well paced, and the it does the job of these rom-com BLs- which is to make your heart flutter and remember your high school romances.
I was going to give a 9 for almost every category after I came to the page to write a review after the last episode, but then I breathed, and thought about the show once my heart has calmed down. When looking at the show subjectively, Keen, who stars as Moo, is the one that carried the show. And he nailed it. His flirting game is strong, the dialogue is tight, and his acting was believable. I don't think anyone can stand Moo-esqe flirting for too long, you'll cave in to his love.
The rest of the cast was serviceable, but that is that. Sea, Aun and Ashi's inexperience really showed. They had some decent lines, but Sea's facial expressions and tone was rather flat. It could be Kang's character, but I think some work could have been done to further express his emotions.
Potae and Payo's storyline was interesting, but it was not fleshed out well and went downhill after Payo confessed his love. Around episode 9 isn't it obvious that Potae like him back? Why does he feel that Potae doesn't like him after those actions? We will never know. The scenes for the both of them are rather flat and it could not further develop them as characters, which is a pity. It would have been better if we had scenes of them interacting, Payo gradually realises that Potae loves him too and its no longer one sided, and they got together at the end. Unfortunately, their solution was a 'sudden confession' style face to face at the end.
Overall, I think the flirting era of Kang and Moo was very well done, though the side couple could use some work. Shout out to Milk who acted as Neth, her dialogues were very believable and she played the 'clear minded friend that guides the emotionally introvert friend to do what is right for love' very well. Also the break up scene was very well done, on Keen's side.
