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! 😉

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.

Friendly Rivalry is ridiculously captivating from start to finish-like, the kind of story that grabs you by the collar and says, "You're not going anywhere, buddy." You'll find yourself getting attached to the characters, even the ones you'd least expect (you know, the ones you originally thought were just there for comic relief or background decoration).

And the plot? Oh, it's not just good-it's chef's kiss levels of creative and cohesive. No random nonsense, no "where did that come from?" moments-just pure storytelling magic that keeps you hooked like a fish that actually wants to be caught.

This series is an absolute gem! Not only does it grab your attention from the very beginning, but it also delves deeply into highly relevant themes, such as obsession and the overwhelming pressure students face to get into university. The plot explores how far the characters are willing to go to achieve their goals, even if it means chasing the impossible. This gives the story an intense and realistic tone that makes you reflect on the demands of the educational system and the emotional toll it takes.

One of the series' greatest strengths is the protagonist duo. The chemistry between the two characters is incredible, and their dynamic is so well-written that it completely hooks you. While I wasn't expecting those moments that could be considered "gay," they were a pleasant surprise, especially because the show avoids falling into *queerbaiting*. It's refreshing to see a story that handles relationships with authenticity and respect, without relying on clichés or unnecessarily playing with the audience's expectations.

In summary, this series is the perfect blend of drama, emotional tension, and meaningful representation. The characters are well-developed, the plot is engaging, and the themes it tackles are profound and relevant. I highly, highly recommend it! If you're looking for something that will captivate you, make you think, and entertain you all at once, this is an excellent choice. Don't miss out!

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.
