The story
A high school loner who has difficulty making new friends joins the school's student council to meet new people — but discovers that making friends may be harder than it seems.
What it’s like
Set in a boys' high school, this drama follows its shy, withdrawn lead as he gets pulled into student council work and the slow, uncertain business of making friends. The tone is tender and awkward, built on secret crushes, first love, and a love triangle that tightens quietly over the episodes. Its rhythm suits a patient, low-stakes watch: classroom and club-room scenes, small glances, and the unspoken tension of growing up. The emotional register is youthful and sincere rather than dramatic, with romance at the centre and little in the way of violence or intensity. It suits viewers who want a soft, character-led school romance, especially those drawn to boys' love stories with an emphasis on feeling and gradual connection.
