#I guess Moo and the other students either will become friends who pursue the same dream or rivals

Random Thoughts about Only Boo! episode 1:

This series is very cute, very fluffy and a pure rom-com. It's just perfect to replace Cooking Crush on Sunday. It was totally an unexpected series but this first episode is a nice opening.

▪️ We have cheeky Moo, who wants to be an idol, but is transferred in another school by his mom because she fears he doesn't take seriously enough his studies. I believe Mom is not wrong to insist he finished high school and have a back up plan. I guess, It's because I'm old now, but I do understand why at Moo's age is quite difficult to see it her way. Pursuing a dream is never a bad thing anyway. It gives your life significance.

▪️ Moo is truly a nice kid. He doesn't even trow a tantrum when his mum basically force him to abandon city life to live in a small countryside town far away from everything except school (my own nightmare. I dream of living in a city where everything is reachable by foot. I hate driving). He never lets himself get discouraged. As for me, I would have stop going to the store if I forgot needed items and would have waited until next day. I admire his persistence. I also believe his mom should have made sure he had at least some essentials before leaving him by himself in his new room.

▪️ The other main character is Kang. I believe he must be at least one year older than Moo. He already finished school and he is working at his mom's restaurant and helping people while also being an artist who didn't pursue entering art school for family reasons. Despite being very helpful, he doesn't consider this as kindness. I hope we'll learn why because I think he is very a kind-hearted man. He doesn't show any annoyance at helping others even if he doesn't really know them (he helped Moo several times and even though he said he would charge him money later, it sounds more like a joke than anything).

▪️ We got a very short introduction for other characters such as Potae and Payos, who are in the same high school as Moo. They share his interest in dance but they started on the wrong foot so it will probably takes time for them to be friendly. We also discover Neth who is Kang's friend (at least for now). However, the episode mostly centered around Kang and Moo first encounter, so all these other characters remain background characters yet.

▪️ Let me tell you, I understand why Moo will be falling for Kang because these kind of small attentions he made for him without asking anything is return are just so sweet. This episode may have its share of rom-com clichés (accidental kiss for example) but I don't mind them. I still found this episode enjoyable. I ask for nothing more. Let's see how these two end up together and achieve their dream at the same time.
