OMG, you guys HAVE to watch "Friendly Rivalry"! As a HUGE fan, let me tell you, this drama is EVERYTHING. Forget everything you think you know about typical high school dramas - this one is on a whole other level. The intensity is off the charts! From the very first episode, I was hooked. The suspense, the mystery, the shocking twists... I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time!

The characters are so incredibly well-developed. Yoo Je-i, the seemingly perfect top student? Don't let that fool you. She's complex, vulnerable, and surprisingly relatable. And Woo Seul-gi? The mysterious transfer student who throws everything into chaos? I'm still not over her! Their relationship is the heart of the show, a captivating blend of competition, attraction, and unspoken feelings that kept me guessing until the very end. Seriously, the chemistry between the actresses is electric!

But it's not just about the main characters. Every single supporting character is fleshed out and important to the story. Even the seemingly minor players have their own secrets and motivations, adding layers of depth and intrigue. I found myself invested in everyone's journey, rooting for some and cautiously wary of others.

The writing is brilliant. The plot twists are unexpected, the pacing is perfect (unlike some dramas that drag on!), and the overall message about ambition, friendship, and the pressures of high school is both relevant and thought-provoking. It's a show that stays with you long after the credits roll.

And let's not forget the cinematography! The visuals are stunning, the music perfectly complements the mood, and the overall production quality is top-notch. It's a feast for the senses.

If you're looking for a drama that will keep you guessing, make you laugh, make you cry, and leave you completely satisfied, look no further than "Friendly Rivalry." It's a masterpiece, and I'm already counting down the days until I can rewatch it all over again! Seriously, just watch it. You won't regret it. Trust me, I'm a HUGE fan! 😉

I never thought I'd say this, but Friendly Rivalry completely took me by surprise in the best way possible! The chemistry and acting in this drama are INSANE. Every scene between the leads is filled with so much tension, emotion, and subtlety that I found myself completely absorbed.

Lee Hyeri-OH MY GOD. I've watched all her shows, but I never truly fell in love with her acting until now. She embodies Yoo Jaeyi so flawlessly, from her micro-expressions to the way her eyes flicker with emotion. The way she delivers her lines, the teasing smirks, the vulnerability-it's beyond impressive. I never expected her to pull off a character like this so perfectly, but she absolutely nailed it!

And let's talk about Jung Soo-bin-her portrayal of Woo Seulgi is so raw and powerful. The way she plays a character who is both tough and soft at the same time makes their dynamic even more gripping. Even Hyewon and Oh Woo-ri were incredible! The entire cast brought their A-game, making every moment feel so natural yet intense.

Visually, this drama is breathtaking. The cinematography, the lighting, the way every stare and small movement adds layers to the story-it's pure art. Every little micro-expression matters, and the directing makes sure you feel every unspoken emotion.

This show deserves to be on Disney+ or Netflix because it needs global recognition! South Korea is starting to explore GL content, and I really, really hope they continue to be more open to it. The world is ready, and this show proves that GL stories can be just as compelling, emotional, and beautifully crafted as any other romance drama.

Please, we need a Season 2! The story is too good, the chemistry is too electric, and the world needs more of Jaeyi and Seulgi. This drama is a masterpiece. 10/10.

Hyeri my girl what did you do to me. I did my service by recommending this drama to my girl friends. The story line and the acting of the girls are so intense. Hyeri can just stare at me without saying anything and I'll fall for her. I love this. Kind of drama that i watch in 1080p because why not. Do watch it girls. Its a gem. You'll be unable to predict what's going to happen and then boom---a breathtaking scene comes. I started this drama because I had nothing to watch. This drama exceeded my expectations. Glad it's not 4 episode short drama. I would have binge watched even if it was a 16 episode drama. Slayyy girls.

You can't skip a single moment guessing what would happen. That's how intense it is!!!

Hyeri has pulled out Jaeyi in such a way that I can't put anyone but her to play this. She looked stunning and so beautiful in each attire that I felt like I saw her for the first time. Seems like I've been a new fan of hers after watching this damn show!!

As of Subin, aka Seulgi, Amazing job, amazing job, portraying the emotions on the correct point while delivering the moments isn't easy.

Special thanks to our Hyewon as Yeri and Kwong.

The story line was top notch. Somehow I felt like today(the last episode) should be more than 3 hours. I wasn't ready to say goodbye.

The cliff hangers in each episode's ending is what that will make you watch more. The thrill in each episode while some scenes are at point shocking that you won't expect it to be this way.

It's one of the few k-drama that I have watch ongoing. I don't watch ongoing dramas because I have to wait for the updates but with this, it's hard to wait it to finish.

Since the beginning , you will see metaphors and it will tell you about the story of characters. And you will understand why the story is named "Friendly Rivalry"

Lastly but not the least, the chemistry between Jaeyi & Seulgi. Damn!!! They are so good with each other. Both sacrificed for each other. They are strong and I just love seeing them together. I won't be greedy to say that we wanted more but after watching the last episode ,I can say that I am satisfied with the open ending. Because they all are alive and safe.

WILL MISS THIS AMAZING ONE. GOING TO REWATCH AGAIN.

I read the manwha a long time ago, and I reread it whenever I can. Because it's certainly one of those stories that grabs you and you can't just forget it, so I was very excited when I saw that there was going to be an adaptation, but I also felt very skeptical. The manwha is a GL, and I thought this would be an element that they wouldn't incorporate as happened with the adaptation of two other manwhas, but I was very surprised! I AM REALLY HAPPY, THE SUBTLE CHANGES THEY MADE IN THE PLOT ARE NOT ANNOYING AT ALL, THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT, NOT ONLY AM I GLAD THAT THEY KEPT THE GL RATING BUT I AM ALSO GLAD THAT THEY DEVELOPED SUCH A WONDERFUL SCRIPT, THE PLOT, THE CHARACTER INTERPRETATIONS, THE ACTINGS, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY, THE SOUNDTRACK (OST) ARE ALL WONDERFUL, THEY HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB, I LOVE MANWHA AND I LOVE ITS ADAPTATION A LOT, KOREA SHOULD TAKE RISKS MORE OFTEN AND MAKE MORE KDRAMAS WITH THIS STYLE, ESPECIALLY GL, AND THE DARK MYSTERY THAT CHARACTERIZES FRIENDLY RIVALRY.
