A RomCom with too much Com and not enough Rom

This is pretty much the tale of how two stalkers fell in love with each other. Pi stalked Mork's best friend and Mork stalked him back, so basically a kids' version of Lost in the Cloud (if you know you know lol).

I feel like this series had a few plot hooks that went nowhere, like that whole thing about Nan having problems at home or in the very last episode where he talks about having an impossible love. I saw in the comments on youtube that's a reference to the novel where Nan is in love with his step-brother or something... but if they weren't gonna develop into it, this should've never made it into the script in the first place. I guess they just didn't have enough budget for Mix to appear in every episode lol.

Now about Mork... this dude pissed me off so bad, he stepped all over Pi's boundaries over and over again. At some point he just found Pi's adress and started showing up at his door uninvited???? By the end of the series it was getting harder and harder to root for him. "You shouldn't care about what people say about you, just get off the internet for a while" idk man how about YOU stand up for the guy you promised to care for and protect??? GO KEEP YOUR CRAZY FANS IN CHECK!!!! he was so bold all the time, but bc he took pleasure in people calling them boyfriends, he allowed them to keep on with the craziness. I liked him way better at the beggining of the series bc i really enjoy the rivals to lovers trope where just one of them is the rival and the other is already a lover lol his teasing at the first few episodes was top tier.

Moving on... the secondary couple did the secondary couple's job PERFECTLY: distract the audience when the main couple was being insufferable (and in this show, that happened WAAAAY too often). I got so excited everytime i saw those two black bars showing up at the top/bottom of the screen bc it meant Dueanmeen moments were coming up!!! And btw Duean was a TOTAL SCENE STEALER in this series. He had the funniest lines and moments and his Duean vs. Narrator segments were HILARIOUS. Pi being in denial about liking Mork for 10 episodes meanwhile Duean quickly realizing he likes Meen bc Meen smiled so cutely it gave him a b0ner was PEAK secondary couple behavior LMAO. They always know how to get the show on the road and i don't think i'd be able to get through this whole series without them.

Even though this show relied a bit TOO MUCH on cringe humor and second-hand embarassment, it was really funny and it made me cackle more often than not. It's a solid watch if you want something you can just relax and enjoy mindlessly (and if you ignore the fact that Mork was only able to get together with Pi bc he wore him down like a 2010's sitcom protagonist. Ted Mosby and Leonard Hofstadter style lol.)

Not just a story about highschool romance, but also about friendship and memories.

Being in my 20's, I hardly ever watch stories about highschool romance anymore. The older I get, the less entertaining and relatable they become. For me to fully enjoy a story about teenagers, it has to give me very strong high school nostalgia... and that was EXACTLY what My School President did for me. In the last episode, during their last song and goodbyes, I was actually sobbing remembering my school days and my old high school gang. If like me, you're someone who has warm and fond memories of your high school days and your teenage years, this show is definitely for you!!!

I went into this show bc I wanted to see some GeminiFourth before My Love Mix-up came out, just to check out their acting and lemme say... THERE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A BETTER CASTING CHOICE FOR IDA AND AOKI THAN THESE TWO!!!!! NOW I'M MORE EXCITED THAN EVER FOR THIS SERIES!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

(P. S.: Fourth genuinely has one of the brightest smiles I've ever seen.)
