My school president was a surprise.

The plot for this show is not new. It involves a high school romance between two teenagers and their friends. I was over it. I’ve been watching boys' love dramas since 2018, so I’ve seen my fair share of this plot. When the trailer came out, I knew then that I would not be watching this show.

Oh, boy was I wrong.

Curiosity got the best of me, and I just had to watch the first episode. And so I was hooked. MSP is an example of when cliche is done right, and obviously, the incredible chemistry between rookie actors Gemini and Forth.

Getting to see two young boys experience love was a joy. Being queer is hard. Being queer and young is even harder. When you're that age, you slowly start to discover about yourself. Slowly, you grow into your skin. I personally never got to experience this. I was too busy hiding. I was afraid someone would find out my secret and my entire life would be over. I missed out on so much, all because of fear. Fear of my friends finding out, fear of my family finding out. I was afraid of myself.

Watching this I think healed a part of me. Made me regret a lot of things too. But in the long run, this just proves why shows like this are important. These shows are for us, afraid people. Who live vicariously through these characters, hoping to one day be just as brave.
