My School President Ep 3 Stray Thoughts

This show is giving me everything I wanted folks to get out of Lovesick the series. Last week we switched to Tinn's perspective and learned that he's just a nerd suffering from benign neglect that fell in love with a pretty boy with a nice voice that was kind to him once. We also learned that Tinn has unsuccessfully attempted to confess his feelings repeatedly for years. I love Tinn.

Now, after spending a whole episode anonymously helping the music club procure replacement instruments, he's committed himself officially to seeing Gun succeed in this competition in the hopes that maybe they'll date.

Gemini and Mark are fun together. Tinn is such a simp and it's endearing.

"When did he get here?" - "A while ago."

I like the scale of the villain of the current principal. She wants to cancel troublesome clubs, and I think demanding that slacker students perform academically isn't necessarily an unreasonable request of students who want permission to represent the school in a public competition.

We should be seriously concerned that the school building has a termite intrusion.

Holy hell they're so dense.

These marble tables are giving me Make It Right flashbacks.

Tinn's fantasies being consistently ruined by reality is actually such an important subversive creative choice. As fun and adorable as this all is, I'm glad young viewers are being subtly reminded that your fantasies will not always align with reality. Tiw reminding Tinn to focus on helping his crush is *chef's kiss*.

I love Tiw with my entire being. We haven't had a wingman this committed in a long time. He might be a winner for the NAMGOONG BEST BOY AWARD for 2022. I'm glad the rest of the music club affirmed that Tinn is a good tutor, but Gun has specific challenges with math.

I also like the fantasy sequences not only because they reveal how ridiculous and adorable Tinn is, it allows Gemini and Fourth to have more fun interactions before they get together.

Okay, but I actually think it's awesome that Tinn's parents still are attracted to each other and can express that in front of Tinn. That Tinn only laughs about it means this is normal for him.

This apartment does seem very nice.

Not sure why they don't just share the bed.

And now we're ballroom dancing. Tinn's going to implode.

Did Tiw suggest he watch Bad Buddy to flirt, and then diss Ohm and Nanon to highlight Mark (his actor) while the Bad Buddy intro theme played? Yes he did, and I am losing it.

Scrubb is actually good, so I totally get the fantasy about "Close."

They always seem to have fun with these Canon ads.

Tinn's dad is the hero we needed when we needed him.

I'm all for baby gays being delusional about their crushes, but not when it comes to knife safety.

I do like the joke about how silly "baby is a messy eater" is as a trope.

They all passed! I wonder if we'll get a side couple out of Tiw?

Fourth is really charming. Gun's appeal is plain in this pool scene.

Hey, Tinn's first attempt at flirtation! He didn't cover it with a "just kidding" either.

One of the benefits of the last episode was showing that Gun isn't totally oblivious if someone is making active choices. So, when Gun suggests that Tinn join him on the bed, I can't help but wonder if that's a bit of curiosity from the poolside hint of a confession and the nervousness about dancing.

I love this dancing fantasy. Really a lovely sequence.

Well well well, looks like Gun is starting to fall, too.

Ahh, it's time for third party complications next week.

What Did I Watch: #29

Once in a blue moon, GMMTV will be smart enough to drop their most unsuspecting series and it just blow you away. Such as Bad Buddy. Who would have thought back then? But let's not talk about that because dammit Ohm, you have one job to do. Not being a problematic ass bitch.

I'm just going to pray hard that any of the casts of My School President isn't a homophobic. Because this show is everything. It was one of the best that ever came out from GMMTV. It was a joy and happiness, mixed into one. It did remind me a lot of how falling in love supposed to be like. It warmed my heart and proceed with a lot of care. If they land this on high note, this could dethroned Skam S3 as my favorite queer show of all time.

People talked about how its story really rights the wrong of GMMTV ever did in the past. But I want to talk about the sound. I adore its sound department. How they used the surrounding sound to enhance the vibe. Or how smooth it is to just incorporate those sound effects and maximize its impact on certain scenes. Or how brilliantly sometimes the sound cuts on pivotal moment and somehow it made the scene so much powerful than just let the sound effect ran through without much precaution. It's just wonderful to finally found a BL that knows how to tell a story through sound.

(and tbh, rarely i saw post talk about the significance of a great sound department on a series. the whole sound department, whether it's sound editing, sound mixing, or sound design have the same importance as cinematography and set design yall.)

Example on why My School President not only has a great story but also the technicality of it all is just wonderful. Especially on this scene, in addition to gorgeously adding rain sound and bgm without clashing into one another at the back of the scene, but also the choice of using handheld instead of the classic steadicam, and the lovely acting by Gemini and Fourth, made this particular scene a textbook for upcoming BL's that wanting to do great despite its simplicity.

In any other words, this is fucking good.

Besides MSP that continue to be fantastic, I binge-watched The Glory, which I could summarize with 'BAD BITCH RULE THE WORLD'.

Finally Song Hye-kyo knows how to act other than being sad and pitiful. I love her to death in this kind of role. She swallowed, chewed, then spit on you. On top of that, The Glory is kind of proof for Kim Eun-sook, yes she can write something that wasn't so convoluting and straight-up fun without having too much predicament. I just want her to continue being the bad bitch that she already was. She could wrote Mr. Sunshine, definitely she'll be able to land this smoothly.

Fingers crossed though, this show could give all of us who waiting its second part a happy ending. Because Dong-eun deserves it.

I think I'm going to stop watch Between Us. The funny thing is, it wasn't because I was getting more annoyed by their sound department, but it was rather a petty reason. I watched episode 9 on a flight until suddenly the plane went into turbulence. Definitely a sign.

But good for you to continue whatever is left. I didn't build for character-driven story, so for me this was way too slow for my liking. Personally I felt like nothing happened, Team still not going to seek any help from professionals, Win still acted like he was a caretaker rather than a boyfriend and the fact that any side dishes represented in here was boring to the max, I had enough.

hii!!! i (hate)watch f4 thailand so I thought I'd just. give my opinion? for context i have never heard abt boys over flowers before f4 thailand so I haven't watched any of the others. and i also am not up to date with f4 thailand atm the last ep i watched was ep 3 i think?

but! personally (even tho i can't compare it to the other remakes and the og) i think it's not a good show. the plot still sucks a lot. brightwin's acting is. not that good in my opinion i can barely take them seriously/get into their characters. Dew's character is extremely annoying (altho that might be a me thing too i have developed a personal vendetta against his character) and yeah like I said the plot isn't great. i keep a list of all asshole crimes bright's character has committed so far vs the ones he has apologised for and the score is a glowing 16:0

what the show does have going for it tho is really good cinematography there are some really stunning shots in this show and also like a lot of people have said Tu's acting. she's really carrying the show on her shoulders

also what i loved to see was this other guy (just looked him up his name is Fourth? he's the main characters of the upcoming bl "my school president") acting as Tu's character's brother and he's also doing really well it makes me look forward to his show

overall f4 thailand isn't really worth a watch in my opinion? like there's definitely better shows out there. i hope this helps? (also i hope i won't get attacked for all this akgkfkd)

hi!!! thank you so much for this message, it was really well put & definitely helped me understand the show more so thanks a lot! the asshole crimes list fucking killed me, I don't want to see a shitty male lead get away easily with shit, that's just toxic. I also checked the directors & they worked on the gifted & girl from nowhere so no wonder the cinematography is good! also that's good to know for tu & fourth! I was already looking forward to 10 years ticket bc of off & ohm, and tu had already really impressed me with her acting just in the mock trailer so I'm really excited to see her in it as well! as for my school president it's not the show I was the most excited about but it gives me love sick vibes which is a show I love so I'm sure it'll be cute! thanks again for this really comprehensive ask, and no one better attack you or I'll throw hands hucgytdsuhc! <3
