O Presidente da Minha Escola (2022)

Sodium Radium Potassium!!

My School President was the first thai bl I watched and I think it was a very good start in the genre.

What I liked:
- First of all... the music was an absolute delight. Every song was very good and fitting, my personal favorite being the first opening main theme.
- Gun/Tinn is probably one of the cutest couples I have ever seen. From start to finish they delivered with insane chemistry, cuteness overload and some of the funniest scenes I have seen in a while. I love how Tinn is normally very smart but in the presence of his crush he just loses all his braincells. Gun being so oblivious to Tinn liking him is also very charming and funny. He is just a silly little guy and I adore both of them very much.
- I really enjoyed the u-turn of Tinn's mom. While watching I never really liked her and tbh she kinda got on my nerves but in the last episode she really surprised me.

What I disliked:
- I really really did not care about Win/Sound. Like it's not that I disliked the stand-alone characters I just really did not enjoy them as a couple.
- It really was just the Gun/Tinn Show. Which obviously isn't that bad considering how insanely well they work together and how cute they are. And also they're the main characters so clearly they have the most amount of screentime and development. But almost every other character fell flat. And I don't mean that they're bad or anything just.. kinda there. The only other characters I really enjoyed were Thiuson and Gun's mom.

I still can recommend My School President with all my heart. It truly was a great experience.

Simple Typical School BL

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Student): Gun
T (Student): Tinn

- Beginning: B and T are both students at the same school. B is member of a band and T is school president. B’s band will have to disband if it doesn’t contribute to the school unless he can get T to agree for them to stay. B seems to think that T doesn’t like him very much and won’t help him keep his club, but T actually has a crush on B. But B is oblivious to a lot of things so doesn’t realize when T is helping him. But in order to get his club authorized, B perseveres, appearing more and more in T’s vicinity.

- Middle: Still pretending that he doesn’t feel a thing for B, T continues to help B, explaining to B he’s only helping him win an important music competition is because of the school’s reputation. He even offers to tutor him when B asks him. And the more time they spend together, an attraction starts to develop and B starts to feel something for T as well. From that point onwards, we start feeling some tension between the two. After a while, T is unable to pretend he feels nothing and finally confesses to B who says he feels the same way. But there is an issue that B can’t date before the competition is over.

- End: After the competition, they start to date officially. They wanted to keep it on the down low but when a photo of them kissing is uploaded, they become known school wide. B is bothered when not everyone reacts positively to it but T reassures him that they will always be together. The series ends with them coming out to T’s parents and having their first kiss.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors look really good together because both of them are really good looking.
- I actually like how awkward T is at the beginning because he doesn’t want his crush to show but he doesn’t know how to interact with B. And he can’t confess because he knows B can’t date until he wins that music competition. So he invents a reason for him to help them.
- I actually like the tutor trope even if it’s super cliche. B has to pass his exams to continue to do his music so T agrees to tutor him.
- I like the concept of T acting like a love sick idiot when he thinks of B and immediately turning emotionless when B enters the room (he also acts as if B was bothering him when he’s really happy about B’s presence). If only T was better at acting like a love sick idiot. His acting only makes it look weird and a little cringey.
- I absolutely loved how T would carefully touch B’s hand, afraid B would reject him. It’s super romantic.
- The comfort thing is also a cliche but I love how it got them to hug.
- I love the subtle signs of affection such as holding hands in secret because they cant really be obvious about it.
- I love how it’s relatively angst free.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- The acting is truly horrible at times. Reactions and expressions of anger or joy are exaggerated and unnatural. Sometimes the acting is too plain, emotionless and other times way too exaggerated, borderline cringey.
- This is a typical school romance, meaning things happen to serve the plot and not because it makes sense. For example, what normal school has ball dancing class as a class you have to take? It’s only there so the leads can dance together.
- The romance is really slow burn meaning things progress really slowly. In the beginning episodes, all we know is that T has a crush on B but we don’t see any signs of that except for a smile or two.
- I didn’t like the singing or the songs, but some people liked it so this is mostly a “me” thing.
- The whole “T wants to confess to B that he’s the one he likes but every time he tries to confess, he gets interrupted, leaving B to believe T likes someone else” plot is simply cliche and lazy writing. It serves no purpose other than extend the run time.
- The show spends way too much time showing random high school stuff like gym class or eating lunch. It makes the show seems longer then it needs to be because those scenes are really boring.
- This show is really tame when it comes to intimate touches, because of the no dating rule, B and T don’t even kiss even after confessing their feelings. But they do flirt which is cute. They haven’t kissed and B’s mother already know about them.
- There are a lot of cliche tropes in this show so don’t expect any memorable moments or plot twists.

**Conclusion**
This is an okay watch that I won’t revisit.

Endearing and fun

After all the angst and misery that Young Royals season 3 gave me, I really just wanted some fun and light-heartedness, and this drama HIT THE SPOT.

The main couple is, of course, the best part of the show. The chemistry is fantastic and this is a great example of how to write a healthy relationship that isn't boring. I loved seeing their relationship develop from "enemies" (with gigantic air quotes lol) to friends, and watching how they communicated and supported each other throughout. The side romances were also great and I never once felt like I wanted to skip any scenes.

I was also pleasantly surprised at how well the humor worked. There are a lot of comparisons with this and 2gether, but I found that drama's humor too over-the-top, making the drama feel low-stakes and nonsensical. On the other hand, this show's humor was well-timed and endearing, and most importantly it never interfered with the tone of the show. It was serious when it needed to be, touching and sad when it needed to be, and funny when it could be. It struck a great balance between touching on some serious topics like homophobia and discrimination, while also making sure we got the feel-good friendships and family scenes.

Overall, this was a great watch. I admit that not all the songs were my vibe, but I loved the ending song, Once Upon A Time. Whether or not you like the songs won't really affect how fun of a watch it is. Ultimately, it's not a life-changing drama, but it will, without a doubt, make your weekend better.

This is how you do a HS BL drama!!!!!

It's the little things that matter, and this series demonstrated that.
In MSP, not everything goes as planned: There are a great deal of downs. MSP addresses issues like failure, homophobia, fear of first love. MSP has distinguished itself from other dramas as viewers are always left with the expectation of something new and misunderstanding or event are dealt within the episode itself, without letting it drag to the next episode.
How could anyone not fall in love with all the comedy, romance, and heart-fluttering moments they have together? Because love is a force that won't let you fall, this series serves as a definition of love and demonstrates how it inspires and heals.
You can feel Tinn & Gun chemistry through the screen. They would be the one flirting/ interacting/ having a moment, but I would be the one blushing, squealing, banging my hands somewhere, gripping my bedsheets, covering my face/mouth, and cheering for them. I am honestly in love with their love. They are extremely cute; I tell you that's not the only factor that makes it good.
Only "BUTTERFLIES" and my inability to manage my emotions (all the delight, anxiousness, and excitement I felt while watching this series). I was completely absorbed in the universe of MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT because of their chemistry, which feels so real and sincere. They are very addicted to flirting and Tinn is great at it; I love it whenever he smiles from ear to ear while gazing at his crush. There are several instances in which Tinn is observed fighting to contain his smile when he is next to Gun. No other actor could possibly play anyone in this series, in my opinion (BEST CAST).
I'M GONNA MISS: Those night phone calls, their warm consoling hugs, comforting each other, their locking of the pinky fingers, holding hands, no eye contact (cause they were too shy to look straight into each other's eyes), them openly flirting in front of their friends, that foolishly in love smile....
In addition to Gun and Tinn, their families and friends play a significant role in the narrative. It's really endearing to see the boys' relationships with their families and how differently their mothers handle raising their sons. There are a few unexpectedly cute side couples too. At the end of the day, MSP is a show about love and all its different forms.
The production teams worked very hard on this. Even the supporting cast members have been individually designed characters. As far as chemistry goes, Gemini and Fourth are a match made in heaven.
I'm eager to support them as they develop and are given a variety of worthwhile assignments to sharpen and display their talents.

Took me completely by surprise

Listen, if you also belong to those that think "High School? Man, I'm too old for that" let me tell you: You will never be too old for this serotonin boost.
At first, I didn't wanna watch it. The trailer didn't capture my interest, it looked like a cute silly HS romance, like, nice and all, but not what I'm looking for. Then I kept seeing people talking about it and was in the mood for something light and sweet and man I do not regret it a single second! This series made me smile like crazy every Friday, literally my support gays!

TinnGun are the sweetest, literally smiling as I'm writing all of this. They are so cute and so funny, Tinn with his daydreaming never failed to make me laugh. GeminiFourth are terrific actors and they are only 18! It's insane how well they work together.
The other actors were fine, too. Especially the parents were great. Their characters are all supportive to each other, Chinzhilla friendship is lovely! They are sometimes really dumb, but you must understand - they are dumb /together/!

The storyline is nothing too crazy, but it excels at what it's doing. Of course, at some points it's a little bit predictable, but overall that's fine. I don't think anyone starts MSP and expects crazy plot twists everywhere. The last episode had a few moments I felt like could have been resolved better, but nothing too crazy. The plot has its more serious moments, but the writing never fails to feel balanced and thouroughly thought through.

The music, though! Fire! Ford's "Come Closer" is my favourite Thai BL OST EVER so far, play it at my goddamn wedding!

If you are looking for something to make you feel better, to make you giggle like crazy and laugh out loud, this is for you!

Une petite perle rare inoubliable

C'est vraiment un des meilleurs dramas que je n'ai jamais vu.. ça fait que deux jours mais ils me manquent tellement. L'histoire est très basique, très simple mais les acteurs ont réussi à la rendre intéressante et inoubliable. Leur jeu d'acteur est lui aussi très bon, surtout que Fourth (Gun) et Gemini (Tinn) n'ont que 18 ans et ont commencé seulement cette année (bien qu'on les voit un brief moment dans Bad Buddy). C'est aussi l'un des rares bl qui nous donne pas envie de passer les moments où "ils sortent la guitare". On connait tous ça haha, dès qu'on voit une guitare on SKIP mais là.. je vous promets que personne ose passer leurs musiques. Ils chantent super bien, les musiques sont entrainantes et donnent envie de les écouter toute la journée. Au premier abord ça peut sembler long et ennuyant mais ça vaut le coup de commencer/continuer, vraiment.
Pour conclure, c'est une petite perle rare, de GMMTV encore une fois, que toute le monde devrait regarder. Le jeu d'acteur est bon, de même pour les musiques. Ils méritent réellement leur succès. Il fait définitivement parti de mon top 3.

BEST HIGHSCHOOL BL

1 episode left and everything is so good. The acting of both Gemini and Fourth are very good. i love the plot because it has no the third person come to break the relationship. the way they communicate with each other is better than most university BL. very lighthearted with some heart-wrenching moments that makes you appreciate the story more. the acting of the supporting character is a bit low (i don't want to mention anyone hjsdh) but it is manageable to watch. the song in every episode is superior. AND RETURN OF 'THIS CITY'???? one of my fav thai song and Gemini sang it???? how i can rate it lower. Fourth is so young yet so talented depicting his emotion in his eyes and smile.

So wholesome and sweet it almost sent me into a diabetic coma

Aww hell, they really got me with this one. I wasn't expecting to like this show as much as I did but they won me over alright.
Plot-wise My School President doesn't really bring anything new to the table but through a combination of good writing, genuinely clever humour, and the occasional trope subversion it manages to make the story feel fresh and entertaining.
The young cast all deliver incredibly solid performances and the characters are all deeply charming.
Not only are the relationships depicted (romantic, platonic, or otherwise) wonderfully healthy and realistic - an absolute highlight for me personally are Tinn and Gun's respective relationships with their parents - the show also gains an edge by focusing on the more difficult aspects of teenage life as well as just on straight-forward fluff.
It explores how hard growing up can be, the difficulties of trying to find out who you are and what you want to do with your life, grief, failure, and the realities of being a young queer person in today's society.
It addresses all these topics with great care and and insight without ever getting too heavy or preachy about it.

I also really appreciate how uncompromisingly the story allows its main characters to take their relationship at their own pace. What starts off as a fun spin on the classic nerd/jock trope quickly develops into a slowly yet steadily building bond filled with mutual respect and fondness which the show uses to analyse the often blurry lines between platonic and romantic love as well as the differences between physical and emotional intimacy.
This all works together to paint an achingly sweet yet grounded picture of first love that had me, a grown ass adult, grinning like a fool much more often than I'd care to admit.

The show isn't perfect of course, it does have its flaws, but most of what I disliked about it was entirely down to personal taste. The sound track, for instance, did not work for me at all and the auto-tune hurt my soul a little bit, but a lot of people seem to genuinely love and appreciate this series for its music so you might really enjoy it as well.
It also has to be said that I am clearly not the target audience for this show, it's aimed at a younger demographic, so it's honestly a very pleasant surprise just how much there is to enjoy and love about the show for someone like me as well.

In short, MSP is a show that I would have loved as a tiny high-school baby gay, but which is still highly enjoyable even as an adult queer person. If you're in a the market for a well-written, deeply wholesome high-school rom-com with a good dash of realism as well as clever jokes, then this one is for you.
And if you're an old cynic who needs their cold heart dusted off a little bit, then this show might be just what you need as well.
