Rivalidade Amigável

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.

This is the best thing I've watched in a while, #obsessed with this show. I cannot wait for the next episode to come out as soon as it ends honestly 30 minutes is not enough. Lee Hye-Ri deserves that sponsorship for Season 2. And the chemistry between her and Chung Soo Bin is crazy wild. I'm so addicted to this show. I love this show so much!!! I cannot emphasize enough how good this show is. It's number 1 and trending everywhere right now for a reason. If you haven't watched and added reviews about this show I suggest you should ASAP. I promise you it's worth your time you won't be disappointed.

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.

Friendly Rivalry is literally everything I've been waiting for in a KDrama. As a reader of the original manhwa, I was skeptical about how the adaptation would turn out, especially given the distinct nuances of the source material. The plot, centered around the evolving connection between Seulgi and Jay, showcases an intense tension, or we say, chemistry. Idk about how it would turn out in the Drama, but I so so love how the story's slow burn pays off, especially with its deep dive into GL themes that offer fresh perspectives within the genre. For someone familiar with the manhwa (again) as well, I appreciated how the adaptation made subtle but effective changes to enhance the pacing and emotional depth, all while keeping the core themes intact.

I literally love everything about it from the acting/casting, OST, story and all of it. Lol. This Kdrama is a dream come true for fans of both the manhwa and the genre. It really is a refreshing and powerful addition to the GL genre, showcasing a compelling mix of heart, intrigue, and intensity. It sets a new standard for queer representation in Korean drama, and with its incredible storytelling and unforgettable characters, it's a must-watch for fans of romance, mystery, and GL narratives. I REALLY do HOPE THIS AINT A BAIT NO MORE AND THEY WOULD CONTINUE PRODUCING SUCH AWESOME KDRAMA WITH THE KIND OF GENRE. PLS PRODUCE MORE GL THEMED KDRAMA, KOREA!!!

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.
