It is so wild to see the revival of the Namsoon/Heungsoo feels among people, but it be caused by Saint/Shin and High School Frenemy, a show that I'm not watching and whose viewers maybe haven't watched the original. Like, if you were there for School 2013, you know how subtly yet intimately queer Namsoon and Heungsoo's story felt, and that too at a time when South Korea had yet to include actual queer characters in pretty much any shows! From what I can remember – it's been over a decade since I watched School 2013, so I may be misremembering – Namsoon and Heungsoo's friendship never seemed like it was written with queerness or the LGBTQIA+ community in mind (not in a homophobic way, though! Just the feeling I got back then). Like, these were just two high school guys whose platonic love toward each other was so intimate and heart-aching that their friendship seemed to transcend all of the dynamics that male friendships in Korean dramas hitherto had had, without ever seeming to be intentionally written as such.

These characters were played by two incredible actors who brought so much rawness and depth to their characters and the story, and throughout the show, Namsoon and Heungsoo's friendship seemed so... accepting? and gentle with its depiction of a close male friendship, yet it simultaneously felt so open to and understanding of possible interpretations of the more romantic kind. And seeing as how, even today, close male friendships easily end up as targets of the shipping culture, Namsoon and Heungsoo's friendship just seemed(/seems) so refreshing and almost ahead of its time in a way.

There is so much that I'd want to say about how significant Namsoon and Heungsoo's friendship felt to me in the K-drama landscape of the time, but, alas, my memories of the show and their story have become blurry with time and currently only exist within me as feelings of immense warmth and gratitude to the writers (Lee Hyun Joo and Go Jung Won) and the actors (Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin), and thus I can't fully express myself by actually providing concrete examples to justify my feels, or by giving proper references to that time of K-dramas and portrayals of friendships, same-sex friendships in particular. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is, thank you to High School Frenemy for introducing the story of this friendship to a totally new audience in a totally new country and also an arguably much different drama landscape (here I'm referring specifically to the abundance of QL stories in Thailand).

TL;DR: I hope everyone new to the Namsoon/Heungsoo (Saint/Shin) story – assuming their dynamic is the same in this remake – are as insane about their arc as I was back in 2013, lmao. And to those who were there for School 2013 and are now watching High School Frenemy, how are you? Are you okay?
