The plot is extremely simple. Alex is running for college president and his opponent is handsome Xavier, who comes from a humble background. During the debate, an accidental kiss and fall make rumors about them. To capitalize on this, Alex's campaign manager recommends that they fake date. Alex is able to convince Xavier for this, since Xavier needs money (his father is alcoholic and abusive). But soon someone leaks a copy of their contract and his popularity dips, but somehow they manage to leak videos as if they really care for each other and are serious about it even though it may have stated as a contract and fake love. While pretending to be fake boyfriends, of ourselves, real feelings start to develop. Turns out that Xavier has always been gay and had found Alex attractive and now even Alex has feelings for him. Tie for mandatory female vamp to enter. She is the secret fiancé of Alex, who wants to win him back. Out of nowhere he joins the elections, threatens to expose the boys. She also gets Xavier's father kidnapped, offers to pay for his debt and write a recommendation for him for college and in turn she wants Xavier to leave Alex. As expected, all misunderstandings are cleared and Alex publicly announces that he doesn't care for elections if Xavier is not in his life. This public proclamation of love makes the couple come back together.
Besides two very good looking leads (Especially Xavier with his curly hairs and glasses), this vertical show is another run-of the mill shows. Thankfully there is not too much stereotype here and on misunderstanding after other. In fact scenes here ate arranged so that both Alex and Xavier keep getting reaffirmed that the other person truly loves them despite the relations starting off as a fake boyfriend contract. The ex fiancé comes quite late in the game so we get enough time for the romance to build up. It is simple, decent direction but still nothing memorable to remember in long term. Decent watch though on your phone when you have nothing better to do or in the gym like m when you are on a treadmill. (5/10)
