I actually really liked this series! When I first saw the trailer, tbh I thought gmmtv was riding off the success of my school president and making a similar show. BUT this show really held its own and delivered a great, adorable story! I was so surprised by Keen ( I didn't watch Project Alpha I'm sorry lol) because he was so adorable and was such a good actor!! Sea also did a great job! The only downside for me was the side couple....personally, I did not like their story or their chemistry.

(1) The original trailer, released on 17.10.2023, was about 3 minutes long. About 30 seconds of it refers directly to the idol part, no-dating rule and breakup. Less than 30 seconds is about Moo dancing during his school time. The rest is about Moo and Kang getting and being together. (2) Misleading trailers do happen, often revealing ideas from earlier script drafts - like the original MSP trailer which heavily hinted at Sound hitting on Gun and competing with Tinn, something that was later dropped (all we got was Thiu warning Tinn about Sound trying to hit on Gun). Initial trailer for “Never Let Me Go” promised a very different show from the one that was made: Nueng’s father was to be a mobster, a huge part of the show was about being on the run from killers etc. - instead of all that we got a boring school BL followed by a boring “boyfriends on a tropical island” thing. Since almost all scenes from original trailer for “Only Boo!” made it into the actual show and the proportions of school and uni/idol time were maintained in the series I’d argue that this particular trailer wasn’t misleading. (3) Not sure I could pick other actors to play the main couple, but I do know that Jang and Shone were miscast. Assuming those two characters were important to the story and GMMTV wanted some of its more recognizable faces to support SeaKeen - why were Louis and Book chosen? Neither of them fit the role nor can act. If Jang was to be the one representing the company and its rules, making sure other Gump members follow their contracts, cast First and turn on his “serious guy who likes order” mode, he’s great in this type of roles; if this needed to be someone who can sing - get Perth or Satang, as they can get stern if needed. You want Shone to be supportive of his cousin while still hitting on Kang, but not in a sleazy nor creepy way? Get Mark Pakin, Khaotung or Mix, as all of them can actually act and have the range to make Shone charming, even seductive, but still a decent person.

A very cute show and a useful showcase for these young actor's talents. May they get more roles in the future.

Oh no, Ayla's mic isn't working. Edit: scratch that, it was one of my speakers.
