TOP TIER BUT UNDERRATED

First of all: don't expect anything extraordinary from this series. No landmark event or plot twists. Nothing special happens.

It's a series where the protagonists fall in love, feel the pressure to like someone, give into the feeling and then try to fit that relationship into their lives.

Despite being a very cliché plot, the production and script (and at times, the acting) lacked quality, NITIMAN was charming, which held me since the first episode.

PLOT 7/10: In the familiar environment of an engineering college, we met Jin. Beautiful, popular, passionate. A character read like a playboy and cheater (but this personality was actually never shown in the serie), has just broke up with Aim, a law student. Sad and unhappy about that, he believes that one of his ex's friends was responsible for their break up and resolves to face him.
Bbomb, on the other hand, not only has no interest in Aim, but he's actually in love with Jin.
In a mess of jealousy, bar bathroom encounters and many fractures at football games, Bbomb tries to show Jin that his feelings are real and make Jin arouse those feelings too.

The plot is simple, as we've seen in many other BLs out there, but anyone who thinks the story falls into sameness and that it's not worth the time, is wrong.
NITIMAN showed us real and extremely human relationships: Jin and Bbomb are sincere characters, who despite everything respect each other and know how to communicate.
Jin who despite letting Bbomb get closer, always warns him that maybe he couldn't live up to his expectations and develop feelings as he wanted.
Bbomb who asks Jin how he feels, who listens to him and despite wanting so much being his boyfriend, he doesn't go beyond the limit the two set to not get hurt.
Communication is the high point of their relationship. The space they give each other, how they express their insecurities, how they like each other's presence and miss each other when they're not together.  The couple who are dating not just because they live together, but because they think about each other all the time and want to be with each other all the time. Domestic, communication and partnership describe well Jin and Bbomb's relationship.

On the other hand, we have Jin and Bbomb's two groups of friends.  Characters that were unknown for much of the series (mainly Keam, our biggest enigma), were largely to blame for some mistakes in NITIMAN, but were also very important in the development of the protagonists. Despite this, there was no lack of stories to tell about them. They survive beyond Jin and Bbomb's storyline. Everyone showed different nuances during the episodes and it was easy to captivate the audience.

After all, NITIMAN is a great show if you don't want to stress out about unnecessary dramas. All conflicts were clearly justifiable and rationally resolved, something that is unfortunately difficult to find in most BLs.
NITIMAN was an innocent and raw story, with young men facing their insecurities in their own way in their pace, learning from each other how to have a relationship where they can both feel comfortable and happy.

also, I NEED A SEASON 2 OR AT LEAST AN EPISODE SPECIAL
